July - The Running Thread.
I'm starting a new thread devoted to running - no poetry, no geography lessons and no Iron Maiden genealogy!
However, today was a rest day, so no running to report :o
But I do have some running-related news to give you. I have stated before that stout is a very good anti-inflammatory*. Well I can now report that two pints of any good beer, a rather good sirloin steak with mushroom sauce, a Jack Daniels and a half decent coffee also work extremely well. In fact the shin soreness I experienced walking to the pub vanished completely for the return trip home.
I report this purely in the interests of scientific enquiry. Hopefully others may have conducted similar field trials and can report their findings here as well. I'm hopeful of a research grant sometime soon in order to examine this phenomena in more detail.
Be assured you will be among the first to hear of any further medical breakthroughs.

*A colleague of mine has hypothesized that the effect is not so much anti-inflammatory as "sensory depressive". Given that I left the laboratory in quite a buoyant, nay jovial frame of mind, I am sceptical of his claims. However in the name of science I shall carry out further experiments as funding becomes available.
