May 1st - Breakfast at Boheme

(Ry). Ok, I think I see a theme appearing in this blog. I write about injuries and food, whilst my team mate writes about training and gadgets.

This morning we had breakfast at Boheme in Richmond, and I can highly recommend it. Good food, great service. excellent coffee.

My neck is better, thanks to extra strength neurofen. I am trying to resist the urge to tell you about my latest injury and bug combination story....but I have to get it out. Ok, so yesterday morning as I dressed to go for my run, a 1 inch long earwig crawled down my arm and fell on the floor!!! It must have been inside my running shirt. Once again, I impressed myself by not screaming (it was 6am and I did not want to wake up the neighbourhood). Then, 12 mins into my run, I landed funny and hurt my right calf muscle. I figured I only had about 35 mins to go to get to work so I rubbed it a bit and kept going. Feels fine today (or is that the neurofen?).

Today is rest day, tomorrow is my long run (maybe an hour - assuming no injuries or bugs!).

By the way, I don't have a photo of the dead earwig, so here is one of the John Harvard statue at Harvard University in Boston.
