badge event at mundoolan. plan was to have a nice practice run before next weekend. ended up having a 'maybe thats got the mistakes out of the way' run instead. issues with compass, issues with not paying enough attention, issues with reading stuff in the circle, issues with running longer than 70 mins.
on the bright side, running is improving, so bring on next weekend hey!

saturday morning run from clare's place. bit cold this morning.

lap of anzac park before rushing off to dinner with the girls.

intervals - 8 x ~450m. similar to last week, but ran with my new garmin 405, which wasn't telling me the stuff i needed to know, so didn't know how long the recoveries were. eventually gave up trying to look for timed recoveries and just waited till heart rate was below 140. times were between 95 and 99 secs. haven't bothered fighting with it to get the splits back yet.
I think I need to spend a bit more time learning how to drive the garmin -at the moment it seems to think it knows what I want, but is always wrong.

run to and from the oval, a little less eventful than last week.
got to the park near bbc a little earlier this week, and found that it was overrun by auskick. still did intervals around the oval, but had some errant 8 yr olds to dodge as well (although their parents were even more random).

I seem to have picked up a case of 'driving shins/ankles', as described by Blair post easter trip. I've been doing some survey work this week, and have been either driving slowly or walking through long grass all day - muscles on the front of my shins and ankles are really sore!

C • driving ankles 2

night run on coottha with Dan. made the mistake of advertising it, then had to wait around for ages cos we'd got home early and could have run early, then nobody showed up. oh well.
cold out for may, but not cold enough for a long sleeved running shirt, at least after the first 10mins. I'm still hopeless at picking the right clothes for running in cool/cold weather cos it happens so rarely up here!.
wasn't feeling particularly energetic after a day of field work, but plodded around. we did the normal start to the top of the zigzag track, then ran straight back down telstra and back through the streets.
