Well I've been enjoying training lately, my swimming is coming together, i am not really any faster but I seem to more efficient, I swam two kilometres on Monday and felt good at the end, so that is helping my confidence a lot.
Unfortunately tonight I was enjoying a very pleasant wheezy shuffle in the twilight, taking in the gorgeous autumn colours, stunning sunset and vista of lake and mountains when I felt a sharp pain in my calf muscle. I had been chased by a dog earlier, so I suppose I should be glad it was just an old calf injury flaring up rather than a savage attack by some part-pitbull part-tasmanian devil mongrel getting ahold of my delicate person.
This calf muscle is a bit of a problem but I have managed it successfully before, so I will be able to cope this time. I've got my first event coming up in a little over two weeks - a 10k run in Strasbourg, France! I only hope the course is clearly marked and Idon't have to stop and ask directions of the marshalls. The only thing I can ask is "Where is the toilet?" and "Can I have some chocolate ice cream with my green beans please?"; neither of which will be particularly useful for navigating my way around a running course!
Till next time,
Au revoir!
