Tonight I did my third sprint circuit on the football pitch on my local park. I failed to time the first, but the second, which was last Tuesday I think, I managed 5 sprints in 12:30. Tonight I did 7 sprints in 17:25. I jogged at an easier pace tonight as my hip was hurting a little from kung-fu last week. New guy in the class tried to crush my hip in a conditioning exercise, then wondered why I was pulling my hip strikes afterwards....

I started the session by chasing the rabbits off the field, and when I was sure that I had the whole field to myself, and all the rabbits were down their holes / in the bushes hiding, I started my sprints. I did my 7 sprints, which all felt good. I may have been able to push out a couple more, but I did not want to overdo it. Also on sprint 6, when I was really going for it, I felt my right ankle strain a little when I slowed down. I still fear aggravating my past ankle injury - must remember to take some more Glucosamine and Chondroitin pills tonight. The last few were the fastest. After the sprints I cooled down with some lunges and stretches, then jogged gently home. The whole workout from door to door was about 17:30 minutes, so not a bad quick session.

Bad news though. I have been off work for the last week, and have managed to put on a little more weight. This morning I weighed in at 87kg. I have been eating a lot more bread than usual, so I really think that thus is the problem. Now need to make an extra effort to cut out bread.
