Blimey, is it 8 days since we spoke? How the time whips past.
This week has been a rest week following last week's disappointments. And in a funny way, that's worked out OK - if there were any week to have to wait out an injury, this is the one. Not that I wanted to of course.
My daughter is in a dance school, has been for 9 years, and this week is the dance school's bi-annual show, with all of the dance grades involved in a series of 30 three minute segments of song and/or dance, from ages 3 to 15, as solos, groups or whole classes. The show, as always, was just great with so much effort put in by the kids and teachers.
However, this week happens to have been another UK mini heatwave, with temperatures close to those Phil and others in Arizona are used to, albeit at 5am!
We Brits wilt in these temperatures. And when couped up in a small theatre with no air conditioning, it's not going to get any easier. So the audience sat and sweated it out whilst the kids battled on through, backstage being tropical temperatures too.
So what with these shows and all the rehearsals, plus the normal last-week-of-school-term there's been plenty to keep me busy.
As far as the leg is concerned, it was letting me know something was not right up until Thursday. At the moment, it feels normal, but I know that's the old false sense of security. I've just about made that space for my bike in my study, so I expect to be getting in some low impact miles early next week. Can't wait to get back on the pavements, especially having read Phil's race report.
Have a better one.
Mr Stumble.

Andy .. thanks for the link to my blog. I appreciate the thought.
Although I've never been in Briton during a heat-wave, I have been in Southern France when the temperatures hit 40C + and it isn't pretty. We get spoiled in central Arizona since everyplace is air conditioned. Living in an area without air conditioning under these conditions is another sotry all together. I don't know how you hold; other than the fact that you really don't have a choice.
Hope your calf is healing well and that you'll be able to get back on the road when the nasty weather breaks. At least you should be able to start getting in a few bike rides.
So how did your daughter do in the show?
