Swimming, 21st June 2021

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 →

Another small improvement today — I’m up to 46s for the 50m reps, though still working off the 90s interval. My 25m reps were a mix of 18s and 19s too. I can live with that for the time being.

Today was a little easier than yesterday though I still didn’t push things too hard, probably averaging around 48 seconds for my 50m reps. I was very tired afterwards though. Probably just as well that tomorrow is a rest day…

Thanks to my lack of mobility over the last week I’ve not got much done in the veggie plot other than a bit of tidying up, so it was nice to get out today and sow some more calabrese and … Continue reading →

One more swarm

I can stagger about a bit now the antibiotics are having an effect, so this afternoon I was doing odd jobs in the garden to stave off the boredom and when I was taking my shoes off to come in … Continue reading →

Swimming, 7th June 2021

Posted on June 21, 2021 by james

Or rather, not swimming, 7th June 🙁 I was out in the garden after lunch on Saturday when suddenly many of my major muscles starting convulsing, to the point where it was painful and I had to drop to all-fours … Continue reading →
