Event: MDOC Middle Distance Urban
 

Jog to test out my Achilles. Not bad at all.

C • It's all in your mind 3

Huddersfield, Buckstones (to check out the fire damage to Marsden Moor), Denshaw, Greenfield and back over Saddleworth Moor.

Golf. Matchplay v. Roy. Won 5 and 4.
Achilles a little sore by the end. Ice.

Achilles is settling down but still feels too early to try a run.
No issue with heel raises. Maybe a short jog tomorrow?

Golf with Neil and Roy. 36 Stableford points (21/15).
Today's front 9 with Tuesday's back 9 would make a very good round...

Straight out after golf to beat the forecast rain. Dunford Bridge, TPT to Millhouse Green and back via the windmills and New Mill.

Achilles settling down slowly but no chance of running yet. Up Holme Moss via Yateholme, down to Woodhead, TPT to Winscar and back round Hades. Taking it pretty steady.

Golf. Matchplay v. Mick. Lost 4 and 3.

Garage circuits. Avoiding anything dynamic which might aggravate my Achilles or toe. Heel raises ok with only very slight discomfort.

Golf. Pro's mid week comp. 35 Stableford points (15/20).
Achilles sore walking but not as bad as feared.

JK Relay, Minley.
Leg 3 for SYO M165+ team. 5.4km.
R Achilles tight this morning and a little sore on warming up. Perhaps fortunate that Tim blew it on 1st leg allowing me to jog round leg 3 as we were already well down the field. To add to my woes, I stubbed my L big toe tripping on some rhododendrons reducing me to a hobble on the downhills. This is the toenail which just survived last year when I lost my R big toe nail. Not sure it'll survive this time...
Looks like I'll be cycling between now and the British to give my Achilles the best chance to settle down.
