Calf survived the weekend and Achilles feeling less niggly too.

Event: British Middle Champs (UKOL)
 

British Middle Champs. Brereton Spurs.
Started well and leading at no.8 (of 31) before blowing no.9 (about 1:20). Never really got concentration back after that and was running out of control. Eventually caught my 2 minute man (John Duckworth) at no.25. Then got a stick in my eye going into no.26 and struggling to see after that. Followed John through 27 but didn't notice him punching no.28. Just beat him to the finish only to find that I'd missed out no.28. Doh. Would have been third behind Clive and Quentin.

Spectating and protecting my various dodgy bits at the British Sprint Champs.

Golf (again)! Another improvement after a dodgy start. 37 points, 25 of them on the back nine. 96 gross.
R Achilles still niggling away. Getting slightly worse if anything. Worried. Booked to see Kim next week.

Golf with Andy. Big improvement on Tuesday; 35 points (98 gross). Much more consistent.

Achilles still niggling. Nervous about running. May just wait until Sunday.

Maybe I shouldn't have run yesterday. Legs even more tired and achy today in all sorts of places, including worryingly, the right Achilles. Could be partly due to the unusual golf movements? Some early morning stretching and crossing of fingers.

R Achilles slightly niggly.

Golf: Pro's mid-week comp. 24 points (off 26 handicap, so 109 gross). Not good but could have been much worse. Happy considering how little I've played over the last 2 months. Finished well too (14 points off last 6 holes).

Lap of Spring Wood whilst waiting for Louise at Harriers. Easing my legs back into running.
