Warm up down down down to parkrun with Al from her place

Parkrun - first time without a pram. Felt ok - happy to finish though! Got cold hands, will keep my gloves on next time. If the course was 5km according to my garmin I would have done 19.58, damn!! Should have sprinted the last bit.
Oh and they've shortened the course so it's much closer to 5km now

Jog back to Al's with grantm for a bit as well. Slightly different way, still uphill though!

At Alive Fitness - where it will be for the rest of Winter. Such a shame! Next week will be my last... I prefer to be outside and it's going to double (!!) in price. Might give something else a go, not sure yet. Could just replace it with an easy bridge to bridge.. Anyway today was a mix of everything. not too bad but since I haven't been going every week, it's showing!

Warm up to OC ridge

First time setting intervals on my watch...

4 x 1km with 1' recovery on OC and Bruce ridges
4.13
4.11
4.58
4.22
Stuffed the third int by looking at my watch and seeing I had done over 3km so thought the watch hadn't beeped so I started walking trying to work it out but really it was (obviously) because I hadn't quite covered the 3rd km of my int yet (didn't realise the recovery counted in that total, dumb dumb me). Anyway, that was silly. Next time I'll keep running until I get beeped at! Oh and then I noticed that the little person in the watch is running when I should be doing the int and hunched over during the recovery, funny!

Made up for stuffing around in the 3rd interval by running hard back to the gate

Warm down back home via O'Connor heights and the wetlands

Midweek metro @ Black Mountain

Cracker day to be out. Just 2 annoying mistakes today. On the way to #3 I dropped too low and hit the track so I ended up running on that to get to the control. Got 4 (wide left track option around Little Blackie) and 5 ok and then came a cropper on #6. Was going straight when I saw a control on a termie next to a watercourse. Silly me thought it had to be my #10 (it wasn't, it was on another course) so I changed direction and headed up. Hit a track which wasn't going the same way my track was supposed to be going. Finally worked out where I was and corrected. Nothing disastrous, but pretty silly. Got the rest fine. About 3 mins behind Lizzie, but you know, she spent yesterday hunting for tags... ;-)

Had semi-planned to go to the track for intervals this arvo but Grant worked overtime. Was quite pleased to miss out on 5 x1200s then 200s.Could have done a lamp run... But didn't :-)

Lovely lunchtime run with Cathy (& Zaf). This time we both turned up in white long sleeved running tops and blue 3/4 tights! Did the cutoff museum loop. Still a bit sick - annoying.

Run with Al from her place. Without meaning to look the same we both wore fluro yellow tops, 3/4 tights and black and pink sauconys. Nice run in the middle of the day, not feeling great though.
