Brief summary of yesterday (Tuesday) :

Calories : 1855. More icecream. But it's my own fault for buying it last Thursday. No one else has even had any yet ...

Exercise : 1+ hour walk. No nightjars encountered. Beautiful, warm evening out though.

This is not turning out to be a very good project week at all. I was all ready to go for a long run yesterday when a plumbing crisis at my son's flat at 0700 hrs left me on guard there nearly all day to sort it out with most elusive contractors and so-called 'estate management' people. But then, what are parents for, eh ?

Definitely in the doldrums this week for reasons uncertain. This, plus a nagging muscular strain in my back (since my run on Saturday) have left me seemingly rather infirm of purpose. I manage fine until lunch-time then I sometimes lose the plot comprehensively. And I know it too. Perhaps I eat too fast, as people tell me ? Definitely Jekyll and Hyde syndrome prevailing at times.

Just have to press on regardless and take one day at a time. Plan to be out running by about 0930 and see how I feel. I do begin to feel lethargic if I have not had a decent run for a while and it is four days since the last one of note. The woods are alive with bird-song these days and everything is turning green again. Not too cold at +7C, but damp. Best conditions really.

Will report back tomorrow.
