Distinctly lazy the past week and I am starting to feel significantly different because of it. Two Sundays back I had a minor tear in my hamstring, it was probably closer to a major strain. Anyway, I still trained and played the following Sunday, this was a bit of a mistake. The hours following the match, I was in agony.

That made me skip training this week, mainly just to rest it. Since the Tuesday, I have felt a great deal more tired and lethargic, the endorphines that make you fresh after exercise were severely lacking and it shows. I want to get out and do something, something active but I am really not a man for running by myself and a gym is just too far away. For this reason alone I need to drive!

I hope the muscle will be fine for Sunday and I will be back to normal again, missing football has had a really profound effect. I dont know how the 8 or 9 players that skip training put up with the lack of exercise, I’m suffering and it’s only one missed session!
