pm: 10k loop through Shenton and around Kings Pk. Still sore. Shoes feel damn hard too, as though I've run 5000k in them, even though they're only a couple of weeks old. I think I'll have to look at changing shoes. Maybe I should get some with better forefoot cushioning.

pm: Old run through Shenton and around Kings Pk. Felt sore in every muscle group. Running may not be good for you, but not running and then trying to start again is much worse.

Back in Perth in the wee hours of the morning

pm: An abreviated gym session at SportsMed Subi. Tried to do a bit of everything. Went better than expected and was able to do the same weights as before, even after 1 month of inactivity. Sore afterwards though.

pm: Pretend run in Kings Pk. Ran like an absolute bogan. It's amazing how much fitness and co-ordination one can lose in a couple of weeks. Even more amazing will be how it long it will take to get back to full fitness again

Left ankle was killing me in the last km of the run. This is after not having run a step for about 2 weeks! Right knee was as solid as a rock though, no sign of the niggling problems I had on and off for months before I went on hols.

Travelling to Moscow today. Coming down with a nasty Russian cold and a severe case of cbf

pm: Got my luggage back today so I thought I would celebrate by going for a run. Around the streets of St Petersburg near the river. Crap run but good to be doing something.

Event: 2008 Australian Championships
