Spring has Sprung early

At least - I think it has. With the weather we have been having, it has definitely felt spring like.

Once again I had a tough week. A small, small gain (less that half a kilo! I'm holding out that it's muscle after the pain I went through in boxing) and more rest days than usual as I've felt quite blah.

I tried to run yesterday and managed a bit less than a k thanks to two stitches - the first I managed to walk out, but the second flared up if I so much as jogged to get across a street quickly. Instead of a run, I walked.

Today I've had pain in my Achilles tendon and a headache, so again it was nothing more than a walk. Maybe tomorrow will be third time lucky?

In brighter news, I was really happy with Boxing earlier in the week. In a silly move I'd eaten too late in the afternoon because I realised I'd forgotten to have my loading snack - normally I stop eating 2 hours before class, then stop drinking water one hour before class. This time I stopped eating one hour before class. While I spent a lot of the class feeling like my food was going to come back up, I got through everything relatively unscathed. My biggest achievement? Holding a full body plank position for a minute - right at the end of the class. It's amazing what the threat of fifty push ups (if anyone dropped) can do.
