The title of this post is exactly how I feel at the moment - having to observe proceedings from a distance. The knee is in the middle of a 2 week rest (which is actually closer to 4 weeks now) which means so is my training. Well almost. Skipton swimming pool had to endure my flailing arms and legs as I made my first appearance in a public pool for nearly 20 years. As all who know me will know I HATE swimming, especially in public (a combination of nervousness, fear and embarrassment on top of just sheer incompetence).
Anyway, in the name of Oxfam I'm willing to break down some of the barriers in a bid to get fit. You'd better appreciate it!
Tomorrow (Mother's Day) I'm running a football tournament (The Oxfam Cup) at Sandylands, Skipton. The majority of the 15 teams have been sourced from work. Obviously, as the organiser, I won't rest until a) all the teams have turned up, and b) the tournament is over and I can start to breathe again!
Just as much as I dislike swimming I'm equally rubbish at organising things (p*** up in a brewery time I'm afraid!) so it gives me great delight (whilst touching wood) to report that so far this event has gone swimmingly well which fills me with even more trepidation for tomorrow.
Unfortunately the tournament means my 2 week rest goes out of the window for a few hours.
Anyway, I've rambled on enough. Update on the football after the weekend which will hopefully be followed closely by another video.
Next time we can also play 'spot the pun'.
