Hi Taurus, following your journey closely. I had surgery for a ruptured L5/S1 in May 2009 and made a reasonably good recovery with the exception of the last 12 months. Mind if I ask a few questions?

Did the clovelly run swim tonight. Fuck it was so choppy. Never swum in such conditions. Got 8 laps out, harder than the 10 laps last week as the swim was so much harder.

Water is still lovely but cool out!!

I'm still doing heavy weights. See the post before that one!!
I do this session once a week. Ocean swim/run once a week and weights 4 times a week.
All muscle seems to be intact mate!
