Odd Pains
I had a stonking week, managing to cram in an amazing 6 runs. I noticed this morning that I was really close to a record week so I decided to nip out again in the evening for second jog around the river. I left it a bit late though and it got so dark I scared myself silly and had to maintain a ridiculous pace before I recrossed the river and felt safe again.
Here's a shot of Chiswick Bridge and the early morning rowers, taken this morning.
I've developed a whole new running pain this week. It's focussed on the top of my pelvis, the Iliac crest, but isn't a bone or joint pain - it feels like a bruise. Odd, can't imagine what is causing this but it doesn't seem to affect movement, its just painful. While still on the subject of running pains, I ought to report that my glucosamine and fish oil tablets arrived a few weeks ago but I still haven't managed to swallow one of them - these are serious horse pills! Fortunately my knee isn't bothering me during my runs at the moment.
Here are the totals for the week:

6 runs in one week... That's great. I'd like to think I can hit that target myself one day, but need to keep my training goals a little broader than just running.
Keep up the good work!

Six runs in a week is great going but I wouldn't suggest chasing max k's just for the sake of it (says he - who does it from tim to time). Your odd pain could be your body saying, "I need a rest".
If you've got the glucosamine and fish oil tablets they're useless sitting in the pantry. You'll get use to the size of them, soon enough.
