51.7km - 2:01
Right calf hasn't improved at all, so I decided to go out for a spin instead. First time on the bike in almost a year. Hilly and windy all the way and quite tough towards the end but very enjoyable.

Exploratory run to find a new route... Needless to say, got completely lost. Easy run; terrible indigestion.

New Gear
After having been treated to a fantastic new pair of Adidas Gazelle L with LST lenses, I finally replaced my old runners with 2 new pairs:
- Saucony Hurricane 9 (for endurance)
- Brooks Vapor 7 (for speed)

First little jog after the radio frequency ablation 4 days ago. Leg still very bruised and hence painful. Felt very, very good!
Decided to skip the Belfast Marathon and run in the relay instead. Just in case...

Chiropractioner
Have been to the chiropractioner to get my neck sorted. Looks like there is a lot of asymmetry present that not only causes the pain in the neck -;), but also in the lower back and the left ham string.
A lot of clicking and cracking of bones - felt much better afterwards. Have to go back now twice a week for six weeks...

Well, well. 20 miles without major difficulties. Deliberately very slow to keep the HR under control. Looks like I have no option, but to sign up for for the Belfast Marathon ;-)
