Football
This was our second game of the season and we notched up our first win in the league with a 5-3 win. I started on the subs bench and came on for the last 30mins. I played a lot better than last week and didn't feel as "flat footed" so that was quite pleasing.
My only gripe is that I had terrible pains on the inside of my shins on my left leg after the match and all through yesterday. I iced it last night and elevated it for the evening and it feels a bit better today. It sounds like shin splints but I'm wondering if it is linked to the ankle trouble that has plagued me for the last 15 months ???

Swimming 1000 metres (0.62 miles) ~ 30mins
My leg was still hurting so I decided to get in a longish swim. I alternated the strokes each length between breast stroke and front crawl and have noticed that I'm starting to pick up a bit of speed on the crawl! Back in the gym tomorrow for some lifting.
