Hour of five-a-sides at lunchtime today. Worst game for a while - the cough's been coming back and I really didn't seem to have much puff. Not helped by a few interruptions that were just long enough for the lungs to have a quick hack to themselves. Probably shouldn't really have played, but hey - you don't know until you try it ! Game was first loss of this round of games, and I was nowhere near scoring either. Ho hum !

(finally up to date !)

Short-ish session in the gym in Lanark tonight.

Treadmill - 14 minutes, starting off with 3 at 7km/h+2.0%, moving on to 9km/h and building up to 9.3km/h for the last minute or two - covered 2km exactly

Abdominal abominator - 1 set of 30 reps at 20lbs, 1 set of 30 reps at 30lbs

Exercise bike - 5 minutes at resistance level 6, covered 2km

Cross trainer - 1 min forwards at level 17, then alternating 1 minute back then forward at level 13 for another 4 minutes

Didn't feel too bad after that - worked a sweat up, and didn't have any major reaction from my lungs afterwards, so although the damn irritating cough is still hanging around the lungs themselves might be ok by now. I'm going to ache tomorrow though... :(

(playing catchup)

Hour of 5-a-sides in pi$$ing rain at lunchtime in Glasgow. Got through it ok, the team won and I kept up my Sanatogen tag by scoring my usual one goal a game. Lungs needed another kick-start after the game though, with a real hack in the changing rooms afterwards :(

(playing catch up)

First tentative trip back to the gym after my flu/cold/throat irritations. Still coughing, but still managed 15 minutes on the treadmill and 5 minutes on the exercise bike. Lungs needed a good kick-start afterwards though.
