So yesterday I woke up with vertigo and quite a nasty attack after exercises and violent sickness it cleared but then left me with a severe headache so that wiped yesterday out,

this morning I had a well man medical to attend which wasn't to bad but as my old teacher used to say could do better, blood pressure a touch high (but could this be a consequence of yesterday) bmi slightly high, cholesterol borderline ok, sugars,livers etc all good

Got to monitor blood pressure for 7 days

So onwards I go to improve my fitness and with that in mind this evening the running shoes went on and out I went a nice 5k at average pace of 7.16 pretty happy with that.

Now tomorrow taxi picks me up at 3.00 am and off I fly to sunny climes to top up the vitamin d and the running shoes are packed
