I don’t know why, but today was an unexpectedly good day. I wasn’t planning on pushing things, but most of my 50m reps were 43s, with a couple of 42s and three or four 44s towards the end of the … Continue reading →

I’m going to stick with the 90s interval for this week and see how things go, probably moving back to the 85s interval next week. Today my 50m reps were almost all 44s, with one 45 and one 43. I … Continue reading →

I managed to earth up the potatoes today, but other jobs then got in the way of me doing much else. The only other garden-related thing I’ve done is emptying a pile of the remains of old beehive frames that … Continue reading →

Things seem to have slowed down in the veggie plot a bit, partly because I was ill for the best part of a week, but also because there doesn’t seem to be much to do. Many of the plants I … Continue reading →

Final swim of the week and another small improvement, with mostly 45s 50m reps and mostly 18s 25m reps. I can be happy with that progress over the week, even if it’s taking somewhat longer for a full recovery than … Continue reading →
