Training Log Archive: O-ing

Heart Rate Hills, Ryhope. 8th on Med. Hard course, 20 minutes (! gulp!) behind Bjorn Mella. Okm 4.3. For a test run, first since March 5th, that has to rate as a failure. Ankle was OK, a few twinges but the pain is still generally better than a few weeks ago, so I think I might be able to run at Easter. The bigger issue is whether I can navigate and the evidence is pretty clear that I can't.
Got flummoxed at number 5 when I couldn't spot a gully with a control in it after running over it twice within 20m of the flag.
That was just the catalyst for a total bamboozlement at 6, where I didn't believe the map and spent ages just wandering around.

Bobbin Head. The calm after the storm. Saw James Lithgow in a group of girls.

Lane Cove NP. Goal was to get over 30 kmh, and succeeded - thanks to no wind and good road surface. Happy with that considering the climb.

Note: finding Geology jobs is a lot easier these days than when I was looking even ones in Sweden!

So, got the X-ray results: it isn't the achilles! It is a degenerative cyst (hole) at the base of the tibia (inside the ankle). Causes pain on impingement. "Do not Run", which is great advice a week ahead of Easter. Still, what extra damage can I do?
