On day 18 I managed a run, as Thursday afternoon's sunshine turned cloudy and stormy. The sea was rough and the lifeboat tossed around in the bay. And today I went for a swim at the gorgeous Pells Pool in Lewes, which claims to be the oldest outdoor pool in the country. 50 yards long, it is fed by springs, so has a bracingly agreeable temperature. I swam ten lengths as I was in a hurry. It reminds me of childhood swims at another outdoor pool, Jesus Green, though the Pells lacks the smell of urine and cigarettes and the carvings of swear words and crude, inaccurate pictures of the male and female genitalia that I remember engrained in the dark dank wood of the changing sheds. I also did 80 press-ups.
