Testing...

my ankle...
my perseverance...
my patience...

yesterday:

ride to gym
gym - Day 2 session which has some leg work...leg press and lunges...I was wary of my ankle but it seemed OK...
ride to work

ride home
footy training - ankle not so good at training, probably due to the unevenness of the ground...my kicking was average although I did OK in the goal kicking drill we finished with...

looks like I might be playing at centre half forward against ADFA this weekend...last time we played them we kicked 9.21 (although some of these were rushed behinds)...would be nice if we could kick some more goals!

today:

I've now finished two blocks of 12 weeks with the gym and have signed up for 12 more...had a fitness assessment as usual this morning and I will be starting my new program tomorrow, still focusing on strength...

decided to give the ankle another test at lunchtime and did a 70min run instead of my usual 50min...conditions were quite good...

I'm still taking the prescribed antibiotics for last week's pharyngitis..."only" 17 to go...will be nice to have more than 6hrs sleep in one go on Saturday...
