Orienteering (String course) 15:00 [1] * 1.5 km (10:00 / km)
spiked:19/20c (injured) shoes: Kalenji CS2s
Being dogsbody today so walked down to the start, picked up shuoc coats, then as I was about to leave Steph came in with a twisted ankle, so Ali and I carried her back up the ambulance man then Little Trouble was getting impatient with my promise to take him round the string so very very slowly jogged behind him on the string and then round the offstring after a quick loo break.
(we went past one of the off string! ooh tricksy it was...)

Walked around Brighton for ages afterwards with the familio. Got some Rock :) Had the nicest tomato soup ever.

Note
In a MASSIVE boo. Finding it really hard to be at all positive about it because as usual I have no support whatsoever and the death pills are just eating away at it. Rubbish.

Running warm up/down 20:00 [1] 2.0 km (10:00 / km)
(injured) shoes: Swoops
Up t'start and around when I got there cos it was naffing Freeezing. Feet really hurt from the taping being so tight but I was (mistakenly) quite confident they couldn't go anywhere.
Orienteering race (JK Middle - Leith Hill) 24:53 [5] ***
spiked:4/8c (injured) shoes: Swoops
The part I actually ran. Slow start, getting back into a real scale map took me a while. Had a nice flow 1-2-3 then didn't slow down enough into 4, hit 5 fine, then lost it on 6-7, came out of 8 and wrecked ankle. 8 seemed to be the last control involving any thought on the course so I'm quite sure I could have picked up the time in the rest of it.
Again wasn't in the right head space - was too wary of ankles and the pain they were causing me at the start. Shouldn't have run. End of.

Orienteering long (Trek back from 8) 59:35 [2] **
spiked:10/10c (injured) shoes: Swoops
As the controls were on the long trek back pretty much, I was determined to finish the course. It is ridiculously easy when you can barely go faster than a crawl. Unfortunately being out for so long in the hail in not very many clothes made my brain forget there was a 14 in between 13-15. So mp-ed anyway.
S&C 15:00 [1]
ankle balancing and some calf raising. Ankle v sore.

JK Sprints
Having arrived so early only just got to the start on time. Mum'd told me I was 08, I was actually 02 so legged it over grabbed my number and got called up. Head was not in the right space at all, but I managed to hold it together for the first 5. It all went to pot on 6 though. Then it was okish for the rest, I knew I'd lost it all and then at 13 went over on L ankle. It hurt a lot but not as bad as the R one. Hopefully will be ok.

S&C 10:00 [1]
Some ankle balancing and testing how bad the left one felt. Bit tweaky and quite sore - probably from the cold though.

S&C (Attack of the Alex Round3) 15:00 [0]
Alex had another pummel of the ankle. Hurt a hell of a lot more than last time. Boo. Had a poke of my knee cos I said it was hurty. Patella is tracking a bit laterally hence discomfort. He said it should be fine and do nothing if it's fine while I'm running.
Gave me some sticky bandages to wrap my ankle up in this weekend. Going to have a practice with the bit he stretched out later. Looking ok though, and I feel a lot more confident about running on it now.

Morning back work and some wankles
Running (MDOC pootle) 45:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Kalenji off roads
Nice jog along with the oldies. Fair few hills as it was Macclesfield, not really loosened up from circuits yet which is getting deeply annoying. Picked up the pace a little at the end but nice and easy.
Stretching warm up/down 10:00 [1]
Feeling better after loosening up with some leggie stretches at Dave's post-run. Missed out on cake because of it though.

Jogged up to the church on Fulwood Road with SoN to be picked up for the Tuesday night run. Jogged back from Goodwin with Sarah after.
Running long (SYO Ladies pootle) 57:00 [2]
shoes: Kalenji CS2s
From Grindleford station, up into and around Longshaw. Nice loop, no idea where we went. Wankle felt good all the way round and it was quite lumpybumpy, spesh with no torch. Knee was ok too. Must just be squats it doesn't like!
S&C 20:00 [1]
v stiff from running and circuits yesterday. I am just going to stretch and blame the death pills. (oh yeah. only another 4 frikkin months to go. rubbish. i'd been hoping for 2.)

slept:12.0 (injured) shoes: Kalenji CS2s
Up to circuits and the rest of the warm up there (late as per usual... tut tut), and the warm down at the end.

Circuits 40:00 [4]
(injured) shoes: Kalenji CS2s
Usual 45-15s but slightly different combos to usual. Felt good on all the strength ones, spesh first lot of press ups (25!! woo!) but legs were tired on the jumpy ones, ankle was a bit wibbly but didn't hurt, it was the knee that was troubling me. May have to bring it up on Thursday.
Running warm up/down (Post Circuits Bob) 25:00 [2]
shoes: Kalenji CS2s
Down fulwood road and back, short one today, felt good, ankle felt fine. Knee a bit twingy. Silly knee.
S&C 1:00:00 [1]
Lots of ankle balance/strength stuff. Usual back work as well.
