Training Log Archive: 007

Ran up Black hill via ghost gully then along the top and down the quarrys. Was feeling great at the start, pumped for a good hill run, but felt dissapointingly pathetic on the hill. Just couldnt push and felt really weak. Stopped at the top and ate some red berries, though that was more of an excuse to stop than an energy source! Have been feeling a bit average lately, maybee im just unfit?
OH well, blackhill is always a nice run, espeially in a gale!!

Ran the dam loop via Marble quarry track. Starts gentle uphill then 10 mins steepish uphill.
I had wanted to wait for the storm to break so it would be raining and exciting etc.. but it didnt seem to be in a hurry, so it was really hot, humid, windy.. and made my legs feel really sluggish. Strange hazy view over adelaide, looked like the end of the world!
Knees werent happy about the steep downhill..have to do some stretches now.

C • Storm 2

Felt I had to do something today, and as the muscles had felt a bit dormant in my run yesterday, pilates seemed useful.
Felt terrible today, reeeally tired after 5hrs sleep, which is pretty pathetic. Ill go to bed at 8 and hopefully feel better tomorrow.
Have to get into a good training routine again...

Finally decided to go for a run after a week or so break (too much 'studying' and distraction from 'studying')... it was only short because it got dark, but it reminded me how good running is.
I have to get in a longish hilly run on the wkend, the Blackhill challenge is soon!
