Still really sick so decided not to go for the 70min forest run, however got out there n planned around 30mins, was setting a small butterfly loops training session for John Joe however was rushing cos i was running late and just ended up disorientating myself and did the classic rushing and getting lost.

Took a mac street o map out, not hard at all considering i know the town inside out, however good to just keep contact with the map, get the head going. Ran really badly though, have come down with one of those really shitty, earache/swollen glands colds so just took it easy.

1km w/u, 4kms solid (fast/hilly), 1km w/d. Didint start to feel any energy until about half way through the run, calfs were really sore as well! Everything just felt heavy.

10 laps breast stroke w/u, 20x2laps freestyle/1lap breast stroke (i find freestyle hard this got the heart rate going), accidentally did 2 extra laps of free style, followed by 10 laps breast stroke w/d. Felt good, nice to do somethihg low impact on the knees!

stayed at Daylesford last night, dont really know my way around, but knew round the lake would be a decent run, however did not do the full run due to a number of factors (really hungry - shouldnt have gone before breakfast and sick of stopping the dog from chasing geese every two mins etc.) so instead of 3km w/u 8x(200mby100m) followed by 3km w/d i managed 3km w/u, 2x(200mby100m) followed by 1km w/d.... i know it doesnt really work this way, but heading out for a short run to finish of those intervals & to avoid study!

Finished off those intervals, felt alot easier then last week, although didnt do them in hilly area and didnt run as far all at once this week!
