Blog written 8.37pm Monday 12th April 2010 (Happy birthday Nicoletta and Joanna, whom I haven't seen since schooldays. Isn't it odd how certain birthdays stick in one's mind. Rhoda's birthday was 2nd April too, "We're the Aprilites, the Aprilites, we're the Aprilites")
1.43 miles this evening, in trainers, with camera, and three very short running sessions - just to see how to do it. Trying to focus on centre of gravity and mid-foot striking. Strange as it sounds, it takes less effort and feels smoother. Maybe there is something in this POSE/Chi stuff?
I wore the Garmin and it reported to me that my maximum speed was 12mph - which is what it felt like. Legs were OK, twinging knees as always, and the stiffness that seems to be a part of ageing for several others my age, but nothing to stop me from going out tomorrow. The area to work on now is CV system as it hasn't done any real work for quite some time. A gentle build-up seems sensible.
Lady Pen is still on the nest, delicately rearranging the swansdown around the edge of the nest. Beautiful and peaceful looking, but very vulnerable to dogs and humans still, despite the good camouflage. It can't be long now before the eggs hatch, can it?
