Orienteering race (Muriwai - Wiggles) 1:01:00 [3] *** 4.6 km (13:16 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco IX WR

Where on earth was my head today?! Controls 1 and 5 were just so shocking it was awful (but the rest I guess was okay). My mood definately affects my concentration and I've been feeling pretty low I guess.

Orienteering (Muriwai - Wiggles) 1:51:00 [1]
shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco IX WR

Walked around the same course again with Mum to give her a hand. This was really good to be able to correct what I should have done for controls 1 and 5! Watching Mum attempt to navigate though is enough to make you want to tear your hair out!

Run 1:30:00 [2] 15.2 km (5:55 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 2120

I concentrated on just taking it slow with long strides and it was a really good run. I actually think I may have been faster than 1:30 but I didn't have a watch on me so not really sure.

Rowing Machine 9:45 [3] 2.0 km (4:53 / km)

Although no faster than other times, I was really working on getting the style more long and slow which made it less of a painful experience!

Gym (Weights for Arms) 45:00 [3]

Weights were okay, but heavy. The pain in my right shoulder seems to have mostly cleared up. I did some increasing of the weights (or the reps) too which was good.

Run 56:00 [3] 9.35 km (5:59 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 2120

The run felt really hard today even though it was just the short one. I think I was feeling pretty tight and also a bit sick after that awful breakfast at Denny's!

Gym (Weights for arms) 45:00 [3]

Began to feel a slight pain behind my right shoulder so I need to watch that. Also a slight pain in my upper left arm where the break was. Things to talk about with the physio tomorrow.

Rowing Machine 10:00 [3] 2.0 km (5:00 / km)

I suck this morning. Have no strength but managed to improve in the last 500m.

Run long 1:30:00 [2] 15.2 km (5:55 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 2120

My legs felt stiff and I thought that I was dying too much to be bothered with the add-on but I was still dithering over it which meant (as usual) I pushed myself to do it...didn't feel any more dead!

Ice Skating (Lesson) 2:00:00 [4]

First lesson of term 2. Learnt backwards C pushes (should be D pushes considering shape!). Need to straighten up more on my T pushes. Relearning how to do crossovers properly! Gotta work on my confidence otherwise I'm not gonna get anywhere.

Run 55:00 [3] 9.35 km (5:53 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 2120

Wore my new shoes for their first run this morning. Definately more cushioning but I didn't really notice that until the downhill parts. Running in the dark makes me feel unco!

Ice Skating 1:15:00 [2]

Felt colder than usual (perhaps 'cause I felt pretty low). Too many skate school kids in the way and making me feel self concious to have a good practice session. I am definately favouring my left leg and still having trouble with keeping my right ankle straight unless I lace boots up really tight which cuts off movement).

Rowing Machine 9:45 [3] 2.0 km (4:53 / km)

God I hate the rower! Can't seem to beat my fastest time (9.32) and feel like I'm just getting slower.

Gym (Weights for Arms) 45:00 [3]

Feeling good today...managed to increase reps and tried a heavier weight on one of the machines (managed 1 set but didn't want to push it). There is a little bit of pain in my upper arm though.
