It was bank holiday weekend just gone in the UK. That means Monday was a rare day off and so I went to the nearest beach resort. SOmewhere I’e not been before – Weston Super Mare.

Can’t say I was impressed but so it wasn’t a completely wasted journey I thoguht it’d be good to try out some beach running to see what all the fuss is about.

Well as the sand was pretty packed anyway I didn’t expect great things but I found it a lot harder than expected. All the soft bits and troughs that cause you to wobble just a little bit really add up. Your ankles and calves feel it after a while of trying to keep you upright and balanced.

Unfortunately the 30mins run ws all in vain because I’m now ill. Very ill – and have been since Saturday. So there’s been no working out since and I doubt any will be done tonight either.

Hopefully Ill be 100% again for Kenjutsu tomorrow.
