I took Ruby out for a little run today but, unfortunately, she wasn't feeling it so it turned into more of a jog/walk. It was a lovely sunny day though, my first of the year in shorts.
We ran down to the school, then round the back of it and along the path, heading in the direction of the top barn. When we got to the path junction though, we turned right and climbed up to George's Lane through the terraced gardens.
By the time we got to the top, Ruby was struggling with running. I kept trying to get her to drink water as it was quite warm but she wasn't interested. We spent the rest of the outing alternating between walking and a very slow jog but at least I got out.
We went along George's Lane to Pike Cottage, then went down through my favourite field, probably my slowest ever time on this Strava section! We then headed to the stables and then down Brownlow Road and back home along dog poo alley.
Ah well, a crap run is better than no run!

Today, I attempted to do a strength and conditioning session but my muscles still haven't healed since my violent coughing fit last week and so it was a no go. The only exercise I tried which didn't hurt was the leg press so, after 40 minutes of trying various things, I gave up and went home in a bad mood.
According to Dave at the gym, intercostal muscle injuries can take up to six weeks to heal! Six whole weeks! It's surprising how many activities aggravate it too, you wouldn't think you'd use the side of your torso that much!
That was it for me for the week, other than a few walks with Ruby.
Yet again, the training is non existent!
