Training Log Archive: Vaala

A tigger run with Michael and I running while Mum walked. Just round the streets, up and down the roads from the beach. The hills here are so tiny but I remember when they were tiring and felt long. We walked a little bit along the beach gossiping with Mum but mostly running. Felt tired and full of crap food but still pretty good. At least it wasn't so humid today (it was actually a bit cold by then!).

With Michael from the parents along Eastern Beach then up through some muddy tracks in Macleans Park to the top of the hill. Back down and through the park then back home along Bucklands Beach. I felt quite good apart from my annoying blister but it's SO humid here.

I was going to ride up the hill this morning but it was pouring with rain so that wouldn't have been very nice at all. After sulking for a few minutes I finally got out of bed and went for a walk instead. Stuck to the roads and the more built up tracks because it was so wet. Up the hill to Victoria Park then back down the second half of the Harry Ell and down the roads to home. Wet and cold but it was okay once I got going and at least I wasn't sulking any more!

Too scared to go to Wednesday night run tonight and also I really wanted to go to the top and I thought they might not tonight with the Pot Luck and all. Anyway, from home along to Farm Track and up to the top of Mt Vernon then down Huntsbury. The grass was almost long enough to swallow me on Mt Vernon (okay, not quite...more like waist deep, droopy over the track and very wet). Felt pretty good so that was a relief but didn't push even though I really wanted to run along the tops for a little bit. Wet to start with and the track was slippery but wasn't too bad. The wind on the downhill was pretty epic though.

Home from work via the hilly route. It was so SO hot and I was so ridiculously tired and feeling awful right from the very start. Pretty much wanted to walk from about half a km down the road so quite glad I got there in the end. Legs feeling like horrible planks of wood and it was so hot I thought I might keel over. Worst run in months. I haven't had legs feeling like that in a long time. Oh dear. I think I am completely run down. Looking forward to the holidays. 8 more days of work.

Nice ride along the bottom of the hills with Michael. Tried to ride hard over the hill both times as well as a nice sprint home. Feeling really tired and rundown but it was really nice to get out for a ride.
