It Was a Poor Performance And I Was Knackered

It's been a few days since my last entry and progress has been fairly good and I'm getting ever closer to reaching January's goal.
Monday saw me moving in to my new digs down in Southampton and so I needed to do a recce of the area to see where to run, where to eat, and importantly, where to go for a snifter.

And so Tuesday was the start of the week for me and I had a run along the coast road (if that's what you call it) and thought I'd done really well; that was until I came back and plotted the distance, only to find out it was only just over a couple of miles (rubbish).
Wednesday I went in the opposite direction and had to give up half way into the run as my legs were killing me. So I'm not sure whether it was my arthritis or lactic acid; either way it was a poor performance and I was knackered.
Thursday didn't happen as I had to drive home during the evening and didn't get home till 21:00pm.
Friday started off with me getting needle treatment again; more blood taken just for a change, and then after spending the rest of the day reading documents, I went out for a run.
I notched up four miles but didn't run it all; probably about 3/4's.
The main thing is that I'm over half way and to many, it might not be too far, but for me, it's good enough at this stage.

Saturday didn't happen but a day off doesn't hurt. A few good things to come out was that I've lost nearly a stone in weight and managed a couple of swift ones down the club.
I also took down a sponsor form as I've had some great support from friends down the club and many were very keen to sponsor me.
I also invested in some vitamin tablets and sports performance powder to help counteract the effects of lactic acid; let's see if it works as I've never used anything like this before.

Sunday morning and I've woken up with a sore back and shoulder so I'm not sure if today will be a loss also. Having said that, I've got an early start at work tomorrow and it looks like I'm going to have to drive down to Southampton this afternoon.
