back on track

after so long out of hard training once you get in to the really hard stuff again, its a bit like people say about going back to work, in that you don't really feel ike you've been away only a little bit worse because you're not used to the lactic acid and more specifically the hydrogen ions which are a bye product of lactic acid which is what really causes the pain associated with intense exercise. and i certainly had a large dose of that tonight with my second 2000 meter time trial post illness which which was a marginal improvement on the one i did on monday (6:49.6 compared to 6:50.1). by comparison i think it was marginally less painful (i wretched about 10 times after the one on monday) and slightly quicker so obviously i'm fitter than i was then although its hard to quantify some thing like that without doing a test in laboratory conditions. i am though still not close to my all time best time, 6:39.8, but i reckon i can beat that within a couple of months. still a nice easy day at work tomorrow in pill, no manager there its an SPDO, a nice stroll around easton in gordano. well its quite a long hilly walk with a lot of steps actually, but being an out and out country boy that i am i enjoy the rural deliveries. easton in gordano is a name that martin might recognise from his john o'groats to lands end jaunt, just after what he described as the low point of his journey in what sounded to me like the lawrence weston suburb in bristol. talking about low points i've just heard that scott has got drunk and thumped a prostitute.....again.
