Last minute decision to head out to Belford. Regret! Not of going orienteering but the choice of map. Spiders absolutely everywhere, it was disgusting :(((( Kind of a bust regarding the physical point of the session because i was so stop start but i navigated quite alright after control one and i was pleased with my compass. Days like today when i have goosebumps of fear the entire way around and come back covered in sticky spider webs i get confused why i like orienteering so much.
18min warm up then 30min course and no warm down because i was so sick of it hahah. Feeling pretty much 100% again which is a plus though!

C • Run with a stick! 2

Warm up and warm down, a few drills after both. Warm down was a bit longer than planned but i committed to a lap of the lake and had to make it back to the car.

A little back to it intervals session at Walka. 3x3/1min. Actually felt so hard which seems a bit ridiculous, my breathing was just going crazy!? Legs were a bit funny too. Not so much tired but just a bit weak. Maybe from getting a good stretch this morning? Pace wasn't too bad but i just didn't feel great.

One last one to kick the cold completely!

Little warm up and warm down, I'm shocked i did either it was so hot.

Park event #2 at Raymond Terrace. Alot of running, and it was deceptively tough running too. Mown grass, some wind and little embankments and stuff took it out of my legs alot! Still feel a bit stuffed up in the head!!?! Don't know why it's still around but i doubt anyone felt too brilliant running today anyway.

Course Long - Splits

Short easy jog with mum from home. Feeling alot better but still not 100%, still have blocked ears and blocked nose/back of throat. Felt good to get out for an easy one to loosen my legs though! A few running drills after.

Body blitz at the gym. A bit of a different class today which was nice. All of me is so shaky! Saw my doctor today and he gave me some antibiotics so hopefully my head clears up pretty quickly now.

Training at Balickera Hills set by Barnett. Still suffering a bit of a cold but i started running feeling and navigating pretty alright. Definitely didn't pay enough attention to the green though, it was pretty accurate and i could've saved a bit of time if i actually made sure i went around because i'm a bit of a weakling in the thick stuff sometimes. Started to feel a whole lot worse at the 35min mark, and by 50mins by body had had enough. Legs were still feeling relatively ok but my head was just super ugh. Enjoyed it but in hind-sight perhaps today wasn't such a good idea.
