Another lovely prom run, with Ilks and Jas. Freaking amazing coastline and awesome swim afterwards- thought it would be a freezing cold straight in/out dip but we stayed in the waves for ages and came out with totally numb fingers.
Shins a little tight as I forgot to stretch yesterday. Lagged behind the other a bit but probably partied a bit harder last night. Incredibly didnt feel hungover, must be the lovely surrounds and swimming which cured me!

Wilsons Prom run with some of the 'hens' girls- what a beautiful place to spend the weekend! Ran some extra bits as I was feeling good. Swimming in the ocean afterwards... and much later in the night :) though didnt manage to get Kathryn in

Just to work, left the bike there to catch train for work schmoozing function with clients. Legs sore now from too much standing up...

Good strength set after work

10 mins run to rugby. Stretched well before hand and shin was just tiny bit sore.

Short set of hill ints after rugby. First 20mins easy run whilst on the phone then 4x fave royal park grassy hill, then one lap round the gods with some running drills. Didnt feel shin again till maybe right at the end run going back down.

4x Royal grass hill.
Not that fast and a little coldy, but otherwise legs felt good and motiveted to feel like a real runner again ;)
All around 1:20-1:30secs

We nearly won, but lost it at the end. Nice close tussle! Hit the ground 4 times, and one time whilst sitting on the sidelines I was hit by a human missile, guy who did his ankle at high speed and flew right into me!
Fun times :)

Feeling a bit better today. Still tired and head blocked up but definately not as badly sickas a few weeks ago.
More animal rescue today! Found a pretty big tortoise (about 20cm long) sitting on the bike path/carpark near the Maribyrnong. It didnt move much when I touched it and picked it up so I thought it was probably in bad shape, but when I put it back in the river it unfolded and tortled of into the water :) Suprised by how many people rode/walked past it without even looking at it- some people must just lack curiosity or compassion.
Same with the dog on sunday- everyone assumed it would be ok and the organisers told us to let it keep wandering and it would be sure to find its way home, withough bothering to give it a closer look. Yesterday it was reunited with its owner- it had been lost for 3 days and was far from home.

C • Glad you found its people :) 1

Evening run. Felt quite good, didnt push it really but had a bit of spring in the legs (in know, it was only a short run!).
Left shin is still bothering me a little- I could feel it to start with and though it improved I was aware of it the whole time. Best going up hill.
Iced afterwards.
More stretching, and massage- feels pretty tight in the spot when massaging, maybe need to go a bit harder on it.

really need to do this more consistantly
