Went out for a forest run this evening with ollie, felt good, ran well, glad i gave myself 2 days rest! Romeo (my dog) got annoying, kept chasing animals so kept having to stop to find him! Got lost on the map near the end when it got dark :s

Went out and did a 3km time trial today, but have logged the entire run including w/u of 1.2kms which took 7:20mins and w/d of 1.2kms which took 9mins.
Time trial itself was not great, alot of shitty factors: really muggy, windy, ran on grassy oval to appease knees (still sore), and woke up generally feeling like crap today (alot of excuses) but all up just very unfit, took 17:30mins and i felt very very crap running right from the warm up, was hard work as 3kms time trials always are, but had to walk alot of the w/d.
Not overly impressed with my lack of fitness, but it can only get better from here.

Woke up with a really sore knee this morning, think i may have slept on it funny after big run yesterday, so decided to give it some recovery haha. w/u 10 laps breast stroke, (2laps freestyle, 2laps kickboard, 2laps dumbbell, 2laps breat stroke)x2 4laps breast stroke w/d as i needed to finish up quickly to catch train home. knee feeling a bit better.

So the aim was to do a 3km w/u followed by 8X200m by 100m intervals then a 3km w/d. surprising for first training session back and after the weekends NOLs managed to do all the intervals, however had to walk up some hill in the 100m rest, only did about 2km w/d however was all uphill up mt macedon, walked a bit when calf's really started to burn. Pretty happy for first run back! ps. was running faster then lucy for the 200m we ran together.
