So in the interest of being able to look this up in future posting latest dizzy spells. Sunday I had full on tunnel vision, hold on to something when I stood up from crouching. Monday I was mostly just very very tired, muscles felt like noodles but I attributed it to swimming in the morning. I didn't fight at training. Tuesday (after a night of ( Read more... )

My phone has been acting dodgy since Festival. This week it got rather worse and Google told me that the symptoms were of a fairly common hardware problem, solution - send it back for repair ( Read more... )

Saturday was something of a rest day and then I went shopping on not enough food which was a very bad idea. I did get a birthday present for nephling 1 so not a total fail.

Ran 28:55 this morning. Go me 8-> Tried intervals, lap 2 managed a couple and then sagged, lap 3 did every 5th 100m which worked. Best if I go for the gear change without pushing for speed at this point. I want to build the stamina in those muscles. It does seem to be working ( Read more... )

Dragged myself out to run in the drizzle this morning. Experimenting with interval running. First lap took it easy second and third pushed to actually run-not-quite-sprint every 3rd 100m. Had to drop to a wlak after a few sprints but not all of them. Felt like I was working harder overall. Total time 29:36. I think I took the first lap a bit too ( Read more... )
