Endurance Adventures in Bridlington...
Well, endurance adventures in pub meals eating and copious amounts of alcohol drinking… didn’t even run along the beach, I think my mate would have abandoned me if I did…
But did do a bit of mooching round the shops… found a camera shop with batteries in stock, so here are a few pics of sunny (and sometimes cloudy) Bridlington…(none of camera shy mates)
Our B & B
Bridlington Harbour
Looking towards Flamborough Head
So, am feeling less than fit at the mo after loads of food, alcohol and very little sleep. Funniest moment today was trying to smuggle a huge and very obvious pizza takeaway box from last night (alcohol makes you rather peckish!) past the landlady, as takeaways in rooms are strictly prohibited!
News on little sis is that she has the beginning form of Crohns Disease, which will hopefully be kept in check with diet, pills and regular visits to a consultant. She's not happy as she now has this condition for life, and she's only twenty, but at least it's been diagnosed before taking a real hold and causing more damage.
It's getting nicely dark outside so I think I'll try a nice gentle short jog and see how the ankle holds up. Then bed I think, as I'm knackered!

Latest Physio
Well, I had my latest bout of physio today, and she gave me the green light to increase, gradually, the amount of running I am doing. I can gradually build up to 2 minutes running, 1 minute walkin, to 3 minutes running, then 4 and 5... when I am up to 1o minutes running, I can try a mile, and build from there.
Guess I won't be running a marathon any time soon!
She did say that it is healing, though. I asked her if this type of injury is common. She replied that she does see a fair few Achilles injuries, then added "Especially in people your age" before adding that as we age we are prone to ligament strains, well great I am officially in the age group to attract injuries!!
I am away to Bridlington Saturday for a mate's birthday so won't be doing much except for drinking, shopping and eating out, God, how will I stand the pace!?!
Better go get me workout done at the gym tonight then I suppose... with 2 minutes of running!!
