In Vino Veritas

Truth is that the I spent more time drinking wine than running over the past week. A marathon session on Friday left me in great spirits - until Saturday morning.
.
A slight twinge in my right calf towards the end of the Club run on Monday carried over to Tuesday's track session where I bailed after the first of my 3 x 1 miles - no big issue, just not talking any chances. My next run was an easy 5 miler on Friday which went well.
.
Despite the relative inactivity I still managed a PB in the 100m last night - in fact I smashed the world record, crossing the line in 9.23 seconds, beating my 12 year old daughter into 2nd place. I also managed a world record in the javelin - 103.xx m but couldn't get off the ground over 3 attempts at the long jump. All this activity, without a proper warmup, saw the return of the tightness to my right calf so I put off my long run this morning, knowing that it would be of no benefit.
My world record didn't last too long:-

  1. Well done Grellan, I stopped laughing about half way through that as I noticed that he had a running style very similar to my own ;(

  4. Yes, grow a decent beard Scott and try a crouch start next time.

    Very impressed with the 103m Jav Grellan. I'm hopeless at the throws.
