Was feeling very tired and cranky this morning after my housemates were very drunk and loud last night, so I thought a nice long run would help calm me down. First 45mins were horrible because my calves were sooo tight - it felt like my calcaneal tendon might snap! So I had to stop and walk many times...after that things were better (partly cuz there wasn't much more uphill) and I enjoyed it more. Maybe I've been stretching badly so it's made my calves even tighter...
Anyway, I managed to time my run so well that when I finished the bus was already at the bus stop haha!
Shin wasn't too bad, but I did feel it occasionally. Looking forward to a really really easy week.

Super easy run along the river. It rained on me again!

Went out for a run along the river, intending to do some longer intervals. Calves were really tight and sore though (I knew stretching was no good! :P), plus it very quickly started bucketing rain, it was so heavy i couldn't see through the torrents running down my face!...so i only got through 7.5mins of interval efforts. Then just ran at a steadyish pace for the rest. Shin a bit niggly....have been instructed to have an extremely easy week next week!
Was totally soaked when i got home - pretty sure my housemates thought i was more crazy than usual haha!

Second lot of stretching for the day

I keep saying this, but I really need to stretch more as I think my tight calves are making my shin worse. So! Today is the first of a twice daily stretching routine....

Second lot of calf stretching for the day. Meant to go for a run, but feeling totally frazzled after a very long day in the lab without much break :( at least now we're ready to insert our DNA into some human cells which is pretty cool!

Very easy run along the river, this time going west for a change. Definitely not as nice as going east, so rookie error there.
Legs were tight and sore and shin was complaining a bit too, so not all of this was running but MEH I'm going to log it all as running anyway!

Arrows ints at north adelaide. I was expecting to feel very bleugh after my long run, so opted to just do my own session while the others did ladders. once i started i actually felt ok though, and did 20mins of 1min on/1min off (but had a longer walking rest after the 5th effort). Could feel my legs were getting tired quickly, but garmin says i kept up a pretty good pace for all of them so YAY maybe i'm getting fitter!

C • hmmmmmmmmmmmmm 5

Sleeeeeeepy. Had a dream that I had meningococcal last night, which freaked me out. I don't like learning about diseases - then I get paranoid that I'm infected or have a tumour growing somewhere....
