Ice and jedi


Week 32
Friday night run - - party on eh! – got girls off to bed about 8.30 and went out for my 3.7 loop – pushed the pace a bit and cam home a little tired with sore knees – these have become a bit of a feature – tried ice on them but didn’t seem to get much result – maybe the whole icing thing is for elite runners only – ordinary legs don’t respond to ice – stayed a little stiff – teehee- - but took heart I was doing good work to be ready for wilmslowgetround – still taking colitis emergency meds but seem to be over the worst more brown than red and that’s good.
planned my last long run for sunday and wanted to double my 3.7mile loop for a decent 7 1/2 miles - started out with a 12 min pace and kept this up for the first two, but usual my pace crept up and before long I was crusing along at just over 10mins felt comfortable though except for the kness which became progressively sore - not painful just sore - disaster though at about 5.5 to 6 mile I got stomach cramp and needed to drop a jedi this was verymuchanunfunnything to happen but after standing crosslegged in nonhilarioussituation in the park for a minute or two I managed to get back hope completing 7 miles - without disaster.

note 'jedi' = rhyming slang ie 'to jedi knight' is 'to shite'
