Tennis 30:00 [1]
Club champs parent & child doubles. Lost 0-4 1-4 to Nick & Mark McCullum. They were just way too good for us, which Liam found a bit hard to accept. I think Rachel will be playing next year.

Running 27:56 [2] 5.11 km (5:28 / km) +53m 5:12 / km
weight:69.3kg shoes: Saucony Triumph
Easy run in KP. A bit stiff and sore early but gradually eased off. More stiff under the ankle and around under the foot than at the heel on the left. Right achilles just a little tender all the way, lateral mid tendon.
Feels as though I am making progress but not sure it will be enough to survive Easter. Not going to be fit enough to do well anyway.

Running 30:30 [2] 5.01 km (6:05 / km) +90m 5:35 / km
weight:69.7kg shoes: Saucony Triumph
Easy run with Rachel. Left achilles a little sore but eased a bit as I warmed up. Soreness was different from the weekend, more between achilles and ankle rather than on the heel and much milder. Right achilles a bit stiff but not really sore.

Running warm up/down 6:30 [1] 1.0 km (6:30 / km)
shoes: Saucony Triumph
Little jog before picking Amy up from art class to start warming up for tennis.
6 PM
Tennis 50:00 [1]
Parent & Child doubles vs Bec & Theo plus a brief warm up hit with Liam.
Got off to a bad start going down 0-2 but came back and won the next 8 games to win 4-2 4-0. I think Theo was not keen to play on the weekend and had a little word to Bec after the first couple of games.
I hurt my back lunging for a short ball in my second service game and struggled a bit after that. Getting pretty dark by the end which made returning serve particularly difficult. Liam hit an overhead very close to the baseline on match point and I think Bec may have been a bit generous on the call just to get it over with. I don't like our chances of making it past the next round.

Note
Finally ready to admit that I need help to sort out my achilles issues so I went to see the physio (Victoria Simpson) today.
She seemed to think the main thing I need is to stop being so stupid and start training sensibly. Lots of massage, needling and strengthening exercises might help a bit too. Sitting in one position without moving for 8 hours straight at work may not be ideal.
Left heel was pretty sore when I got up this morning but not as bad as I feared it might be.
