5-a-side Football Match
Played with the guys from work... the team got its first victory (16-12), I left the pitch after about 40mins having taken a kick to the back of my right leg whilst in the process of scoring. Hobbling around nicely now

Bloomin Garmin battery died just before I set off so don't have any stats! Calves were tight but still managed to attack the hills.

Started feeling very heavy legged - very slow warm up mile, most of the run done at a good strong pace and a slower warmdown mile. Pushed hard on hills but average HR only 146 - perhaps should've pushed a little more for the rest of the course?

Club Run
Felt fatigued from yesterdays football but dragged myself out anyway, started off as a nice easy run and loosened up nicely, had a good hard run, and certainly have the sore legs to show for it.

5-a-side Football League Match
Played with the guys from work. Poor match from start to finish and we lost 20-1, me being the scorer of our only goal.
From a workout point of view though I felt very tight until warmed up, then felt strong throughout, and tightened up again once I'd finished. Awesome cardio workout

**START OF PROPER BLOG**
Right, I'll try and add proper scribblings to this blog from now on seeing as it's all up to date!
Tight right calf muscle throughout. Hoping it'll have eased in time for tomorrows club run (potentially hard session!)
Gentle run finishing at gym... few weights, short swim + Sauna.
