Week 8-Summary (to 25th November)

Another swim oriented week, with minimal biking and of course no running. The most notable aspect in the week was probably the physiotherapy. I had a session on Monday lunchtime, and coming out of it I felt really good … within the massage part she had found the ’spot’ a couple of times – nearly jumped up to the roof – so its not just in my head. I also bought a FoamRoll for use at home. When i was in Riverview this simple piece was always used after a running session, and was great in ensuring no nasty after effects. I see Mark Dowling is using them big time in his blog <here>. Between the session and the follow up exercises using the roll and some more streching (little ice sessions though) i’m feeling much more postive.

Week 7 – Summary (to November 18th)

A bad sign – i’m actually writing up the week’s details before the end of the week. Another week with injury – the trouble flared up again after 5-10 minutes of light running. And to boot our company came out with a small round of redundancies. I could see this coming to be honest, as since we were taken over there have been little or no sales coming in. I’d almost expect our new ‘masters’ to be asking for some of their money back.

Save the Cheerleader – save the world!

I’m not watching much TV these days, yes the box might be on, but its a case of flicking through the channels with little-or-nothing of interest actually on show.

Apart from this one program which now has me well and truly hooked … its called HEROES. A girl at work was raving about it months ago when it came out first; and my initial reaction of course was “yeah right”, more stories about superheroes with special powers … however about 3 odd months ago i came across it one evening late on BBC and since then where at all possible Wednesday evenings are HEROES night.
