10k done this morning in light drizzle. Have a worrying niggle under my left heel, need to be careful with that, don't want any PF nonsense developing. I suspect balancing awkwardly on a ladder while stripping multiple layers of old wallpaper off an old wall may have triggered it.

Have just finished my participation as a guinea pig in a study, so have handed back the glucose monitor and the Fitbit they asked me to use for the last 6 weeks. Not impressed with the Fitbit, definitely wouldn't bother getting one. They did a few baseline tests when I started and I've got a health and fitness report out of it. Quite pleased with most of the results, though my blood pressure is a bit borderline high (but I don't like having that taken, so not too worried) and I'm carrying a fraction too much extra poundage for a shortie. But overall, I'm quite fit for an old bird - woohoo!

To celebrate, I've eaten too much chocolate watching the athletics this evening.

Jono.
Croatia is lovely - used to go to Dubrovnik in 1990 / 91.

Makes note not to attend a PowerPoint presentation by Nellers

Due to long shifts in work, I have bought my running kit with me to run after shift - otherwise I will drive home and sit in front of the telly eating Mrs j's latest veggie teatime delight.

Fenners, our theory is that the seasons have shifted...so summer is from April until mid-July. Winter is arriving...

More bad news. I've just open a packet of cadburys fingers. They are tiny. They never used to be that small. Good job I've got a porkpie to keep me going.
