Running (athletics track) 7:00 [4]
shoes: old blue trailrocs

Have been injured for ages, finally figured it out. The old spine injury from dance is the root-cause and I should have realised. Wayne the amazing sports dude picked up that it was sciatica affecting glutes, hammies and even calves on both sides. Oh! I said OH!! THAT makes sense. He said I need to do more abs and core and stability of front muscles to balance my massively overdeveloped erector spinae. Also he recommended that I get a foam roller to stretch erector spinae before I run every time. I admit I've never had one or used one. Borrowed a couple and have been experimenting with different densities. Surprisingly 2 tennis balls in segment of tights seems to work best. And I've added The Plough to my yoga stuff.
So I'm not running at the moment but now that I can walk straight (since wed) and feel good again am going to build up running from zero as if I'm new, and make sure technique is strong and balanced. Ha! that's the plan.

So... went to track to see the venue at woden, help look after Erica and catch up with Flan on a deliciously warm but overcast evening. Why is it that the sky above athletics tracks is always so grand? Was planning to do no more than short jogs on rubber to get the feel of it, but of course I was roped in to a 4 by 200m relay. I will not go fast I warn you! I said. But there was no-one else so actually fun to do. Thank goodness was only 200m because I ran, passed baton and enjoyed myself. Did the spiral relay later from the walking group one, jogged for 20m every time Erica cheered, walked briskly for rest of 5 laps. Did a bit of jogging warm up before all of this.
