Testing, testing...
A terrible jet-lagged, awake-half-the-night, type sleep last night saw me unable to peel myself out from under the doona. I had a dentist's appointment first thing so I stumbled into the city and back before forcing myself out of the door for a short test drive of the legs.Feeling a lot better than yesterday, a little grumble in the achilles but a night wrapped in cling-film and Voltaren seems to have calmed it down, that and the threat of Easy Tiger getting stuck into it would be enough to scare it off!
I definitely feel stronger since all that hill walking and stair climbing we did on holiday. I even ran up the stairs and steep hill at the end of Queen's Park up to Carrington Road which I don't think I've ever done before. I don't feel so bad about running hills slowly now that I know that even walking up them seems to be good for you!
Just an easy 4km today and I'll head off to the gym later for a return to Pilates. That's going to be fun, after two weeks off. Stand-by abs!

Gee your good ! Straight back into it. I bet I would take a few days off 4 sure.
All those stairs will pay their dividends, so remember them fondly. Hope the mojo is back quickly for you.

Great to see you are back into it. I have walked past that hill a few times and thought about how it would be horrible to try and run it - perhaps I ought to now that I know you have???
I think I need Easy Tiger to give my calf a scare.
I've used 'Hello' to successfully upload blog photos when Blogger is being cantankerous.
Stand by abs, that is funny :D
What a nice way to spend your vacations hope you post more photos soon!
Yes, Australia is too far, on a tv program they said, you australians talk about distance as something very short :P
