4x2min, 3min rest. Had originally planned for 6, but i was really tired and hungry and wanted to go home. Lame excuse, but at least i did 4. I was feeling like i was bonking during my warm up, and i didnt think i'd get through the workout.

Running (easy) 45:00 [1]
shoes: Asics GT 2140 (May 09)

My mom brought home some herbal drink mix which is supposed to give increased energy and mental alertness for physical activity, so i tried it. On the way out i felt tired and slow, and i was thinking it was a load of crap. But I actually felt better on the way back. I dont think it beats caffeine though...

Running tempo 24:00 [3]
shoes: Asics GT 2140 (May 09)

4x4min 2min rest at McCarthy woods. Hot and buggy in the open areas and felt somewhat tired. Also the trails are all grown over now with grass and branches so it made things slower. I think this is good training though for COC's.

Running long 1:10:00 [1]
shoes: Asics GT 2140 (May 09)

felt like crap this morning, and just lazed around watching the tour. Drank a cup of coffee though and felt much better. Decided i havn't felt that good sore feeling in my legs for a while so went longer than planned.

Running long (trail) 1:10:00 [1]
shoes: Asics GT 2140 (May 09)

nice solo run up in the gats. Didnt really feel 100% but oh well, was abit sluggish and tired. Was very muddy and wet, shouldnt have worn my road shoes. Deer flies were bad.

I will try to do most of my long runs from now on up in the park. Time seems to go by much faster on the trails up there, it's better training and it's more fun.

went to fresh air after work, so no riding home. Set up an appointment to get my bike fitting. Also got a spare tube and CO2 cartrdges.

Returned a pair of oakley sunglasses that i got for my birthday because they didnt fit me too well. Will order a new customized pair online (Radars). What colour frame/lenses should i get???

Running 33:00 [1]
shoes: NB MT 840 (sep 08)

got home at 7:30. Suprised i had the motivation to do this seeing as I was quite tired and feeling a bit run down again.

4x4min 2min rest.

When i was heading out I could see some storm clouds rolling in, but decided to go for it (with ipod :S).

After second repeat it started to pour. Trails got really slippery but i managed to finish ok just not as fast as my first two. Luckily there was no thunder or lightning as i was in a semi open area. Ran home through the forested area and it was actually really fun.

Twas fun running in the rain, i should do it more often. Ipod is ok even though it was totally soaked.

Note
(sick) (rest day)

Felt really run down yesterday with a sore throat. Felt like I had recovered from being sick early in the week, but a week of decent training and not enough sleep got me sick again.

I'd started out on my run yesterday, but after 50m I realised a hard run was just going to make things much worse. Had an O-session planned for today but just went for a really short easy run instead. Glad I listened to my body, even though I'm mad I couldnt get the planned training in.

Hopefully this two day rest will enable me to get back into a good cycle this week.

Legs really tired.

Didnt eat anything after getting home from work and on the way out i could already feel that i was going to bonk, although kept going to my planned turn-around.

When i got to the turn-around i stopped to walk for a bit and my head started to spin. Managed to keep running all the way home, but it was a real struggle and I could only think of food the whole time.

nice easy run with my uncle. Legs felt good, but my head is still a bit sickish.

I find it tough to be motivated to get back into training after being sick.

I'm sick now so that's probably why I didn't feel good running.
