Have been battling this for about 2 or 3 weeks now. Feels like a head cold. Haven’t been riding much. Had a few runs, 10km last night which was easy but I feel like I’m full of lactic acid right now.

Just about to ride 20kms to meet an old friend for a chat, may have a beer or two, then on the way home around 9:30pm if I’m feeling OK I’ll join the Semas’ first 2009 night training just near my home. That could put me out for tomorrow’s Wednesday night sprint training on the same course. Plus I still need to get in a few more runs before the 22nd for Tokyo Marathon. Time is running out. My calves have been fine on the last 2 runs. Just need to keep out of the cold weather.

Speaking of weather. It’s HOT today. A strong wind bring warm air has hit us. Turned off the central heating system just now as I’m sweating inside. (maybe I have a fever).

Will come back here tonight or tomorrow night and add in the end bits….
