Hubble, bubble toil & trouble

[Gthants]

30 minutes pilates, 10,000 steps in London, and 20 minutes of stretches and hamstring work. A busy day of travel and script-checking - view is not from my box, but from just along the way, during the interval.

I felt better yesterday on the actual day of my slow run than I did on Thursday - a whole day after my previous "faster" run. So it looks like the adoption of 🐌-pace worked and could be the way to ease my way back into running, without risking my back. I could have another month or two of being at risk due to the muscle strains, but if I can Japanese run my way through C25K, I can maintain fitness as I recover. A win-win!

The new exercises are helping me so much; and being able to do selective non-pretzel/downward-doggy yoga is making a difference too. I did an Adrienne session yesterday and found my breath! (It had been missing since about 1997 ...)

Happy weekend running, folks!

Take care of your back . Mr D back is bad and fancying the couch 25 k but won’t do the snail pace, only way he’ll get better and slow down. Enjoy your bank holiday 😊

I work in a lot of theatres, but The Globe is one of my very favourite buildings!

Fabulous and lucky, lucky you !

Weirdly, I chose to do one of my final thesis at University, on Music in Shakespeare's Plays...that photo just reminded me of that !

What a place to put in some steps!!

Yes, breath work is important, isn’t it. And studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between general health and lung capacity in proportion to body. (Read this in Nestor’s Breath)

Happy Japanese running!

That reference was new to me; checked it out; book in stock in local library; I'm going tomorrow!

Thank you!
