Training - Day 59

Went for a run down Holes Bay this lunchtime with Gary. Always infuriating running with him as he always looks like he's running at a pace that's too slow for him, which encourages me to go quicker and quicker until I feel sick. Luckily, or not so luckily, my right thigh was hurting so much speed was never going to be an issue. We ran for just under 4 miles and to be fair it did feel easier as it warmed up but it is like it's niggling all the time with the menace of what might happen. Ibuprofen helped a little more and there was nothing for it - I had another cold bath. This time I wore a t-shirt and swimming shorts but when I got in it was still horrible. This time though I made it worse for myself as I hadn't put enough water in. Now, getting into icy water takes your breath away - sitting in a bath that is slowly still filling with more cold water is like a slow motion death. Managed to stay in for 15 minutes before fear of anything dropping off got me out. Not sure if it's worked on my legs but if nothing else it's given the rest of the family a laugh
