Inverness Half Marathon today, my first ever half marathon in my life
1.52.04, 8.33 mins per mile.
Honestly never felt that comfortable all the way through, started with the 2hours 10min group hoping to break 2 hours, but felt like I was doing a lot of dodging at times and legs really heavy from mile 8, took a lot of mental energy to get the job done.
Absolutely delighted with time though, never envisaged that
If I can do it anyone can

Well done Brian. Imagine your time when your legs feel good!
100%, not sure if it was just nerves, felt like a fraud amongst all these runners with their team names etc

All those miles just so you had an excuse for a massage.
I used to get them monthly, but the cost soon adds up!!
They are great for the golf as well

Surprised myself this afternoon. My daughter, a decent gymnast, challenged me to a press up competition after she’d done something at school. I’d not done press ups for a long time and had no idea how many I could do in one go. I was shocked to learn I could do 27 in a row (possibly started too quickly). Losing to a 12 year old did take the tarnish off slightly.

27 is still very good. Push ups are hard
I need/want to try squeeze in a yoga session or 2 to help with my back/hips. We had a wellbeing week at work
(tick box) and did a yoga session and it was brilliant. Just need to find a spare time to do it. Not enough hours etc...

Been down the physio as pulled my groin muscle few weeks back and been feeling it on the course. 4 appointments booked but just continue playing to keep the movement so not too bad

Third and last CrossFit Open workout yesterday. Bit sore today. Got further than I expected as managed to get 20 calories on the final row. Chuffed with that. Session was:
5 Wall Walks
50 Calories Row
5 Wall Walks
25 Deadlifts
5 Wall Walks
25 Cleans
5 Wall Walks
25 Snatches
50 Calories Row
20 minute time cap.
I had to sit for quite a while on the rower before I felt I could stand up. Not sure I've worked that hard in some time.
