Day 3

Distance Run: None
Total Distance Run for January: 7.55 miles
Other Exercise: Wii Fit Plus - 21 minutes

  Back on Wii Fit for exercise today - a decision made long before the weather made running more dangerous than usual. Some more footballs headed, jackknifes completed, and a little variation with some attempts at Rhythm Parade and Rhythm Kung-Fu. The results were inconclusive, with whatever rhythm I possessed not lasting too long. The only noteworthy result of the day was my BMI hitting 21.55 (10st 10lb) - a little surprising given yesterday's efforts, but probably reflecting the consumption of a large steak pie, garlic bread, and several segments of a chocolate orange. I'd prefer to be around 10st 7lb for optimal running come April, and with a return to discipline that will be achievable. I do have some more chocolate to get through first though...

Injuries: Calf muscles sore - will ice the right one tonight. Abdominal muscles v sore - will lay off the jacknifes until Friday at the earliest.
Mood: Sleepy



  Work and football filled the rest of today. Liverpool played fairly well at City, despite losing 0-3. I'm confident they'll be in with a top four spot come May, but they have the weakest squad amongst the challenging pack. The home games against Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal will be key, but points must be picked up elsewhere - and without Suarez. The cup matches provide a distraction for now though.
  Tomorrow should involve goalkeeping duty at Hatfield. I hope to avoid replicating Reina's mistake from the game today, but know all too well how hard it is to deal with the late swerve on a ball. Goalkeeping is a thankless task!
