March 22nd - The only way is UP!

After last night's nadir, things could really only get better on the running front. Perhaps rejuvinated by the sudden apparent advent of Spring I took the dogs out for half an hour and managed to move at a much more respectable clip around the local fields. Running uphill is still pretty uncomfortable, but the rib has now subsided to a constant dull ache, which is what I remember from previous broken ribs, rather than the screaming spasms that have hitherto characterised this one. Long may it continue to improve.
Went to Ellie's play in the evening, which was startlingly professional and polished. Expected the usual chaotic primary school performance, but this was in a different league entirely, and Ellie, despite her loss of voice, held together superbly.
