Little errand runs:
City centre -> 45 Hendred street to pick up the skis from the old house
2 city bus trips with huge ski bag (almost counts as training- only had one guy joke and ask me if it was a dead body)
Then 105 Banbury to work, where my bike is

Running 31:50 [1]
Morning run, out to Port Meadow. Bizarre thing- a reggae party in the middle of the nature reserve? Think they'd been there all night by the way they said "Good Morning"... but wasn't totally impromtu as they had quite the speaker-DJ table setup. That's why all the cows were near the main entrance- don't think they like reggae...
Running intervals 12:00 [4]
3-3-2-2-1-1 minutes. Kind of felt sluggish and not focused.

Orienteering 24:45 [3]
First time orienteering in a long while- a course Jon set around South Parks and headington hill park. Really good fun, not feeling at the top of my fitness, but not sure how much of that is still painful legs from Monday...

Event: Scottish Six Days Tay 2009
Running 29:00 [1]
Over to Port Meadow, recoveries between intervals, then over to home and back home after rescuing laundry from the drying machine.
Running intervals 16:00 [5]
Intervals:
1-2-3-4-4-3-2-1 minutes with half time recovery
Did most around the nature reserve and felt good, but felt hard to push real hard too, think I should have a buddy for these...
Major bummer was I crunched my ankle yet again right before starting the first 3 minute one. Was quite sore for a bit. What is wrong with this ankle!!!?!!? Annoyed that its been injured for about a year now. Happy its not a prob normal running or anything, but still, I want to be able to flex my toes fully towards my knee- happens while running through terrain!!

Felt a bit klutzy on the warm up and first fifties, but got back into it by the end. Foot cramped on first 150 but stretched it out and could keep going.
