Running 1:05:00 [1] 9.0 km (7:13 / km) +300m 6:11 / km
(sick) shoes: asics traily things

Would've had another day off but had to hang controls for night-o on the (crap) map I made. Took it as slow as I humanely could and wore lots of clothes. Actually felt ok once I got going. It was cold and rainy and windy.

Running long 1:57:00 [3] 25.2 km (4:39 / km) +800m 4:00 / km
shoes: asics traily things

Getting out the door was a struggle but after 10mins my hangover cleared and I enjoyed a pretty swift long run over to Onesmoor trig and High Bradfield. I come to a stile and see a HUGE dog, but it's on a lead and has a muzzle on so I'm not feeling too scared. Then the stupid old bat holding the lead lets go and the beast nuts me in the nads with his muzzle. Get home, have a big lunch and watch the Carling Cup final. Drama! 12 days to go... :o)

Orienteering 44:00 [3] 6.5 km (6:46 / km) +250m 5:41 / km
shoes: adidas swoops

Decided I've hardly done any technique recently so did some control picking on the sexy bits of Burbage/Longshaw. Had to take it slow cos it was rocky and the whole navigation thing wasn't feeling very "natural".

Running 58:00 [3] 12.0 km (4:50 / km) +300m 4:18 / km
shoes: adidas swoops

Parked up at Ringinglow so had to hotfoot it across the moors to and from my control pick. Legs achy and heavy. Gonna have a few easy weeks soon.

Running 33:00 [3] 7.5 km (4:24 / km) +200m 3:53 / km
shoes: asics roady things

Usual morning run (in that I usually take the same route in the mornings, not that I usually go running in the morning)

Footy 40:00 [3]

We got beat by a good team 5-0 but I was fairly shit

Running intervals 34:00 [5] 6.5 km (5:14 / km)
shoes: asics roady things

Track with Hallamshire Harriers. 5x200m, 4x300m, 6x350m, 4x300m, 5x200m. A very confusing session so I've no idea how long stuff took. Alls I know is that it hurt.

Running 56:00 [2] 12.2 km (4:35 / km) +100m 4:25 / km
shoes: asics roady things

To and from the track through some very dodgy bits of town on my own. But I wasn't scared.

Running long 1:53:00 [3] 22.8 km (4:57 / km) +810m 4:13 / km
shoes: adidas swoops

Grand tour of Burbage, Blacka and Longshaw. Don't quite get how I got so sweaty when I was feeling really cold. Ran with Jimbo for the first 25 mins then all on me tod so got a bit bored. Finished off with the traditional Little John lunch.

C • 3 minute run 3

Orienteering race 1:01:00 [4] 8.6 km (7:06 / km) +340m 5:55 / km
shoes: jalas o-shoes

Got a guest run at Wharncliffe in the varisty match. I knew it was gonna be very brambly and horrid, so I was pleasantly pleased that it was only moderately both of those things. Didn't make any real mistakes, but I was pissed off that I felt puny and weak and slow in the terrain. I think someone good would've done this course in sub-55. As it was I won by 3 whole seconds.

Running 1:09:00 [3] 15.1 km (4:34 / km) +520m 3:54 / km
shoes: asics traily things

One of them days where you could wait all day for it to stop raining and it just ain't gonna. But it wasn't that cold and sliding about in the mud was quite good fun and I felt ok. Rivelin (for a change). I think this was the old skool extended run (Stannington, Dams, back along top).

Thursday Feb 15, 2007 #

Running 1:30 [3] 0.3 km (5:00 / km) +10m 4:17 / km
shoes: asics traily things

Made it to the bottom of Springvale Road before deciding it wasn't for me today. My 2nd shortest run ever.

shoes: asics traily things

Lovely day and a bit of Mariah Carey (All I want for Christmas) in my head so I was a happy bunny. Went out top of Rivelin to Headstone then across to Damflask and back down Loxley Valley.

3-2 to the mighty ShUOC. Get in! But I ain't got many games left to bag a goal for myself this season.

Running 56:00 [3] 11.9 km (4:42 / km) +440m 3:58 / km
shoes: asics traily things

Rivelin old skool. Ran with Middle (yeah, really, shock horror!) down to the bottom. He then did the old old skool shortened version (getting a bit of lingo going here for my multitude of Rivelin runs) while I just stuck to old skool and ran a bit harder to catch him by the stables. Then jogged back home.

C • Old Skool eh! 2

Orienteering race 53:00 [4] 8.7 km (6:06 / km)
shoes: adidas swoops

Pretty accurate sans-compass. It was the running that was the problem. 4 mins behind JD so had to relinquish the yellow jersey.

Orienteering 48:00 [1] 7.0 km (6:51 / km)
shoes: adidas swoops

Warm-up + a course back to the huts after. Mainly at sub-girly pace cos I was screwed.

Perfect tanning weather and didn't hurt my knee. Apparently my bike was better than BJ's. According to BJ.

Note

Got told not to run this afternoon so went animal watching with a pair of binoculars. I didn't see any. The others, who went for a run, saw 7 giraffes. Damn physios.

Orienteering 50:00 [3] 6.6 km (7:35 / km)
shoes: adidas swoops

Great. First session in S.Africa and I twatted my knee on a rock about 5 mins into it. Decided I was hard and I'd carry on. Likely terrain for snakes so running a bit scared. Other people saw zebras but I saw jack. Still, it was about 35 degrees

Friday Feb 2, 2007 #

Running 1:10:00 [3] 15.4 km (4:33 / km) +540m 3:52 / km
shoes: asics traily things

Stannington, Rivelin Dams, top of Rivelin. Wow gorgeous day! And I had the rocky tune in my head. Maybe Sheffield isn't such a bad place. But still rather be going to South Africa. Next run will be in the summer...

Ooh nearly forgot to mention the cricket. You're only as good as your last game.
