 A review for the week..

I started the week with a couple of exercise classes. Then, on Tuesday, I managed to bruise my foot doing some speed work in a pair of fairly new Nike Alphaflys. They may be good for distance running at a cruising pace but not so good (at the moment) for interval training. So, after that, I rested up until Saturday when I cruised the Newport parkrun (in trail shoes in 31 minutes) and then on Sunday I did the Cardiff Half marathon. I shaved 8 minutes off my season’s best in Cardiff so I am progressing back to fitness, albeit slowly and steadily. At the half marathon I drank water when thirsty and I had a swig of Lucozade sport on Albany Road (9 miles Current Age Grading percentage is about 70% - A long term (SMART) goal is to improve that AG% to 80% in the next 12 months.

  Tuesday 28 June (day 2 in Tampere) I woke up at around 7:30 (again). I made tea and coffee and I pottered about for a while. It is already very hot here again. I am doing things like Wordle & Duolingo in addition to my housekeeping. My back is killing me so I made a point of doing 35 minutes of Yoga (by Chris on demand). NB. I suspect the back pain may be due to me transporting my large suitcase which weighs 20Kg. I had to carry it up and down some steps at stations where the lifts were not working. I had bacon, egg and mushrooms for breakfast and sent a message to Kay. I stayed in the apartment during the morning. The ID cards were not available until late afternoon. I had some ham and cheese with salad for lunch. So, late afternoon I headed for the stadium and collected my Athlete ID card. On the way back I called in at the supermarket, I bought two cans of cider, some Pepsi Max, some bacon, some spring onions, and a big bag of crisps. I had an early night.
