Dewsbury Parkrun - 1st Place on 1st Run

Very comfortable 1st at Dewsbury this morning! One of the hillier in the country apparently and I can certainly believe it!

Beginning to think that maybe hillier is better for me!

Bramley Parkrun - 1st 1st

Finally got my 1st 1st at a Parkrun, and of all the courses it was Bramley!

For those who don't know, Bramley is one of the hillier courses, being basically 4 laps of up a hill, along a small 'flat' section, and back down the hill.

I rocked up this morning and joked with a friend that I'd win it. As soon as we started a guy rocketed off up the hill and it took everything I had to even keep up with him. As soon as we hit the downhill though I overtook and pealed away. 2nd lap it took everything to keep ahead on the uphill and again I put more distance between us on the downhill. By the final lap there was a decent enough gap between us but not enough for me to be comfortable in my position.

Tough running that!

Physio - Shoulder Is Finally Getting Sorted!

First bout of physio this morning - she was surprised I could even swim! Diagnosed the issue and had some treatment, best part is she reckons with my arm fully healed (in a few months unfortunately) I should be able to swim properly and thus much faster than I do now! Happy days.

Current range of motion in my left arm is a little over 50%. After a massage and some general poking around that's gone up to about 85%, absolutely incredible!
