I haven't been writing up this blog as often as I should have. I seem to be losing a bit of enthusiasm, what with the calf interupting training and the horrible weather we have been having lately. It has rained and rained and there's also been gale force winds so running has been hampered somewhat. I have managed to get out a few times though and have had mostly pleasant runs when I have.

Friday 26th May.

A short run, made that way be a sugar crash (I think) which came on about a mile and a half into the run. It made me sweat, go dizzy, breathless and shaky and I had to walk/run home as I had no energy at all. I ate as soon as I got back and felt back to normal soon after. I had eaten a cereal bar about half an hour before I ran so I don't know what caused this but its happened several times lately, maybe I need to check on what I am eating and when. Hydration is fine.

Thursday 25th May

A very windy day and I got blown about from the start. I found the calf felt a little tight again and I stretched and massaged it a couple of times during the run which seemed to help. It was ok after I finished. The breathing has been easier this week with all the rain damping the pollen down. I walked/ran most of this as I didn't want to make the calf worse, hoping to do a slightly longer run at the weekend.
