A game of two halves & initially sore calves!

Tough session on the treadmill this afternoon and had I not been diagnosed with McArdle's would have been seriously sheepish and probably given in after 10 minutes.Diagnosis has helped me to understand my limits and to work within them.

End to 7 day juice detox and while coffee in the morning achieved primary objective, (movement if you get my drift) post a lovely dim sum lunch left feeling very foggy.

May have pushed tennis too hard yesterday as first thighs then calves voiced their complaints even at very slow speeds relative to yesterday. As ever listened to my body and took things slowly with sole objective today of completing 50 minutes. Today's unimpressive stats:

Wrote to here in the first 25 minutes of today's session when legs dictated a max speed of 3.5k.

Thereafter found the elusive second wind and got going, also more embarrassingly found Bachelor 12 strangely compelling.

Ended up doing 65 minutes with the second half turning things round nicely:

Overll for the sesson average speed of 5kmph at an incline of 5.4% and nicely dripping, which I always enjoy!!


End the week 3kg lighter and having stuck to exercise regime and easily avoided alcohol. So quite happy with that.

Next week's one night one city tour of the Middle East will challenge progress.
