Week 15 - My Daniel Craigs - Day 103 of 112

Daniel Craig and me?

Hopped into the pool this morning before work and managed a good workout swim. It was great to be back into getting the HR to a high level after the last two days. I have felt lethargic over the last day or so which is a good sign in the taper phase. Time though to shake loose the cobwebs and blast the laps. Turned out 48 lengths to complete1440 yards at the Western. Pace was ok at a little between 2.05 and 2.08. Had my Daniel Craigs on - my new Zoggs but have to say that I was a poor imitation as I dragged my body out of the pool and headed for a shower after the workout. Millsy was at the pool this morning so had a chat to him about his trekking adventures in India. He was looking well. Felt fine after the swim. No great stress on the body but felt that I have had a workout. Will try and pop in again after work.

I am now in Day 3 of rehab and strengthening on the hamstring. I am anxious to give the leg one last go to get it sorted by doing various strange contortions every hour to strengthen the leg. I think that it is doing some good but the proof will be on the weekend when I try a run on it. I have had to come clean to those at work why my door is locked during the day.

Off to the pool after work and had another good swim. The problem with swimming is the water! It gets into my nose. Pretty much every time I go swimming I have a blocked nose which then begins to drip. It is always the same nostril. It is very odd. I sit after the swim for hours on end with a tissue shoved up my nose to stop the incessant dripping. It is a fine sight. Carved out 36 lengths - it should have been 32 but I lost count. It is a sad day when you cannot count to 32. In fact it is worse than this as I do sets of 4 lengths X 4 then start again. So I had to do 2 sets of 4x4 - that means I cannot count to 4. Oh dear! Ended up at 19.08 for 1080 yards. These Daniel Craigs are great.
