Catch up…of sorts
February 19, 2010So it’s been a while! To sum up the last 2 months we had Christmas, I had my 25th birthday, I got a job offer, New Year, and… that’s about it actually.
On the sports side of things I had my first external archery competition of the year – a 25m FITA – on the 3rd January. I shot 517, got a PB, placed 4th overall, and won the C classification medal. A good start to the year. I’ve also shot 2 postal league Portsmouth rounds, and a club competition with another one next week. Things are going well and I’m looking forward to the outdoor season.
New basketball chair
SCA played Leicester Cobras on the 17th Jan and lost 52-14. By the time I went on court for the second quarter we were already down about 18 points but it was still good fun, and getting the buzzer shot at the end of the game made my day :-) We played Rhinos on the 31st and lost 33-34 in an exceptionally close game. Unfortunately I only got to play for 3 minutes but such is the game. We play Phoenix Flyers on Sunday, which is my first game in my new chair (see the pic!), which I’m very much looking forward to.
Still no running unfortunately. The problem with my feet has gotten a lot worse and, despite seeing numerous doctors, I’m still no closer to finding out what’s wrong with them. With only 101 days until my next paid-for race I’m wondering whether I’m going to be able to run the distance (or at all) or whether I should be trying to get my money back while I still can.
In the mean time I’ve been rather slack in my gyming and it was only when I got weighed at the hospital in December that I realised how much I’d put on. I did a few cardio sessions in January but we don’t have any cardio equipment that doesn’t involve using your feet so that was pretty short lived. I did a bit of swimming as well but trying to do lengths with no roped-off lanes made it all rather difficult. I’ve now got into a routine of a shorter cardio session followed by weights that I’m sticking to, so hopefully I’ll be back under the 11 stone mark soon enough.
I shall post again in a few months, or whenever I find out if I’ll be running again. Thanks for visiting.
Sucks that you still can’t run, Sai. Hope they figure something out soon.
Still top work on the archery and the new chair looks pretty swish.
Thanks mate :-)
