running intervals 1:12:38 [4]
was a giant slacker this morning and decided to have breakfast instead of doing this session. had time for it this arvo, but goddam i got soo soooooo hot out there!!! think it was partly dehydration and also i was wearing my tights (for some silly reason). anyway, was seriously dying from being so overheated that this session was useless. tried to try hard in the intervals but they were very very slow.
had a cold shower when i got home.
most definitely running at 6am tomorrow morning, when it's not so hot and sunny!

riding home seemed like a lot of effort....infact riding out of uni was really hard and i was going realllllly slowly. put it down to being really sore from my massage yesterday, but finally decided to check my tyres and yerrp got a big flat. dammit!!! havent had a flat in more than a year! so had to walk half the way home :(
i dont think my tube-fixing skills are very reliable at all so wouldnt be surprised if it was flat again tomorrow!

felt like i was going to faint in my anatomy lab today, and i don't think it was because of the dissected eyes and heads in the class....think i was dehydrated from the pool session. or maybe just tired. anyway, riding home was a struggle.

singletrack hills on ainslie, 5x80sec with walk back down recovery. legs felt low in energy - was hungry going to bed last night so maybe that has something to do with it? haha woops. apart from that pushed hard so got the hr up even if my legs wouldnt go very fast.
L soleus really sore and tight warming up again, R soleus not v good either. tibia is also a little tender and swollen, but it didn't hurt to run on. really want to get a sports massage somewhere!!

Body clock is a genius: have been waking up at 5am the past week or so, so was expecting to wake up at 6am this morning cuz of daylight saving. But no, woke up at 5am on the dot. Hopefully it's the same for my bed time...
