An improvement

Last week I started to pick things up again. Ran 20km and Swam once. The weekend was taken over by Daniels birthday party, and Thursday was Daniels Athletics Tournament evening. Daniel ran a leg of the relay and helped the team win. He was so excited to be running, he could hardly keep his excitement in, so when he started to run, he exploded away down the track. Well done Daniel. After this event he asked if he could go out running with me sometime. So maybe, just maybe he is 'inspired', theres that word. The one I have been waiting to say. Daniel has asked a few times in the past about going out running, and we have done a couple of 3-5km runs. But I think this Athletics event, being with his friends running and mabe a little of seeing me training has inspired him a little. So we are going out for a run on Saturday.

This week I have run again, 8km Tuesday night. The calves are painful, but I think its getting easier. Not quite upto the 11km circuit yet, but improving.

Saturday we went to the Tour de France Prologue in London. First time I have ever been to something like this. The streets were all blocked off and the cyclings stormed through, amazing. It was quite difficult to see them, being 2 or 3 deep at the railing meant you had a field of vision of about 6 foot, which is about 0.1 of a second for a cycling to go past!
