Note
oops got abit behind on the log. (cbf catching up though)
but am going away early tomorrow morning so will probably be internet-less (and hence will not be logging) for a while....maybe all summer! :O
travel itinerary as follows:
melbourne -> ballarat -> canberra (back for a short while..i think) -> new zealand -> ballarat -> lorne -> new zealand -> uni
:D:D:D:D:D

running long 2:03:18 [3]
nice long run from bottom of mt tennent to honeysuckle (basically). really pretty scenery and some tough climbs (i.e. tennent!).
dont meant to sound negative, but there is something wrong with my body - felt extremely tired and suffered the whole way. same sort of thing as yesterday during hill ints. suspect its my iron levels again - really really need to start eating red meat or liver or something (i dont like taking supplements). might go see a dr about it too...

running hills 45:45 [4]
hill sprints in the morning
we went to black mtn cuz we thought stromlo would be too muddy - since there are no trees haha.
think my hill selection may have been too steep...felt really odd at the end of each interval - heart was beating much faster&harder than usual on intervals and i felt really dizzy. or maybe it was cuz i was really hungry for breakfast?
felt normal warming down...so dont know what was going on.
also just thought it might have to do with my iron levels. have had low iron in the past plus havent eaten any meat (fish not included) in aaaaages. hm.

i know i always whinge about this, but today i was SERIOUSLY over studying. every time i sat at my desk my attention span lasted one question before i found something more interesting to do (non-physics related). i just want my summer holidays :'(

running 1:25:01 [3]
cockies long
bleugh. felt sooooo tired. completely died going up ainslie and skipped majainslie after that. ran along the flat tracks to try to make it up to a semi-long run duration....but decided it was foolish to push myself when so tired.
garmin says the TE for this run was 4.3 and my ave HR was really high.
ah well, cant have a good week every week. atleast i got out and did something :) it was good weather for it too, no where near as hot as yesty morning.

Nice to do it somewhere different :) and nice to get away from physics study :)

running long 1:50:00 [3]
morning long run at strommy. went around the edge of aracnacopia (? dunno how to spell this) then up to the top of stromlo then just whizzed around on the single tracks before going back to the car.
watch died at 90mins, but time of day and mothers watch said i'd prob done 1hr50.
came across a 'track closed' sign at one point, so just thought 'meh' and kept going. came to an epic ravine! haha! got down on my stomach to drop into it (while miff licked my face) but it was a bigger drop than i expected....so i kinda messed one leg up a bit. found out mother went a bit to the left where there was a much better crossing point haha.

i swear, the amount of study i need to do is directly related to my procrastination levels slash the amount of time i spend messing around doing nothing. its so bad! this should be an inverse relationship....

warm up and down.
running race 23:00 [5]
xc at weston park
i dunno how long i took, its on my watch somewhere but i dont really wanna look as i know it was slow. however, it was raining pretty heavily, the course was apparently 300m too long, and it was all on the wet slippery muddy grass (like a real cross country!).
so yeah. doesnt really matter what time i took anyway as i pushed hard and thats all that matters :)
oh and i didnt wimp out because of the rain like heaps of people :P

morning run at stromlo, took my bio notes with me to read whilst running. should do this way more often! not sure whether i learnt anything, apart from the fact that im prob going to get rolled in the exam, but it was a really good distraction from plodding along.

running long 1:57:02 [3]
cockies long run, though i failed at the cockies bit. had to have a pee stop early (thanks GrantM and geoffrey for waiting) then not long after i got a massive nose bleed! wtf, havent had one of them in years. so i waited with my nose in the air until it stopped. weird.....
anyway, after that i'd lost everyone except for geoffrey, so we went to the top of ainslie, over majainslie (g-fry left here), wiggled slowly through the pines then went up majura on the road.
glad i can still run for almost 2hrs at an ok intensity. good to get it done before it gets hot too!
