OLD RONNIE (THE PERPETUAL TEENAGER?)

APRIL 3 to 9. Another solid week.  Visited physio on Tuesday and he worked on my upper back as well as trying to loosen my lower back and QLs.  He's doing a bit each time on my hip/pelvis.  I nearly sacked him but I am glad I discussed things with him and that he was very responsive. 

My Quasimodo session of 20x400s on a dirt trail with a hump in the middle was the fastest I have run during this preparation.  Can't say I felt good or anything - actually I felt crap -but I just ran faster for no apparent reason than expected.

On Sunday I ran a lap around Mt Cootha in 55 minutes.  This stirred my back up a bit.  The downhill isn't kind to old joints.  Speaking of old, I turned 64 on Monday.  And guess what song has been rolling around in my head?
I don't feel like I am 64 years old and yes the old cliché applies (I don't act like it).  The thing is I refuse to act like it.  I tip my hat to other old folks who stay young at heart.
