Last night I got my cycling clothes out ready for an early start this morning. Thought I’d take a run to Chesterfield and back, about 50 km route planned. Woke in the night with pain in my left Achilles’ tendon. Got up this morning and promptly sat down again. Tried to stand again and discovered I can stand on a straight leg, but not when the knee is bent. Walking down stairs was painful and awkward.

I’m not sure how I’ve done this. I didn’t do anything yesterday that could have pulled the tendon. Never felt any pain yesterday either. Weird.

The fairies came back again yesterday ! I'm having a bit of a run with them at the moment and had an early night. It doesn't seem to have had much effect as I'm feeling tired and achy already .
I' ll watch the Monaco GP later .
Hope you feel better later.

It’s good of them to arrange Grands Prix for Sunday afternoons as they’re great for helping you doze off.

I’m normally fairly interested in some of the techno-babble before the race, then avoid watching the grid walk as I find it a bit cringeworthy. The start of the race and the first ten laps or so are usually entertaining, then I doze off for the whole of the middle part, generally waking up with the cars passing the finish line.

In the day’s of the BBC coverage you could normally rely on the increased frenzy in Murray Walker’s voice to drag you out of the void if anything moderately exciting happened during the the race, but today’s commentators are just amateurs in comparison.

I’d normally use the Test Match to help with a snooze, but you can’t rely on England to last into Sunday afternoon these days.

Been awake since three as thunder rumbles round. More on the way. Doesn't look promising for getting out on the bike.

It went through London about 23:30 to 00:30 last night. Monumental lightning!! Luckily it was quieter for the rest of the night and so managed some sleep in a sauna like room!

Hoping it doesn’t come back at Wembley this afternoon!
