Slow run. Tired. Sore hammies. Sore feet.

physio pilates. legs pretty wreaked by the end.

NOL spriddle at Aranda. Fun course, and great format for the area. (I think our course was probably the best use of the area - the guys seemed to get a bit more dead running). No legs today and very little nav brain.
Cold running today, and very happy to run before the weather turned completely awful.

NOL ultralong. this was going to be a big day out and I knew I was totally underprepared. Figured I'd just cruise around at a comfortable pace and hope that got me close enough to the finish before the suffering kicked in.
The first half was good. Got dropped by Tash and Bun after 3 controls, but then somehow ended up ahead of them, but they ran away again.
Had a bit of trouble getting stuck in the cliffs on the control after the second common control, and was getting pretty tired at the end of the first loop.
The second loop was a bit of a dodgy start. lost heaps of time on 2, and a bit more on 3. got my act together after that, but still had a bit of trouble in a few more circles. adductors started cramping on the climb up to the first pivot - had two gels then. calves and adductors continued to complain to the finish, but first proper cramp hit in the finish chute.
Very tired at the finish, but made it around better than expected.

River loop. tired. sore legs. got rained on. not really sure that it was worth waking up early for.

city run. hammies pretty sore and it was very ploddy. new shoes got a bit tight in the toe box and gave me pins and needles in the balls of my feet, so had to walk to get the circulation back a few times on the way home.

physio pilates. got some hard exercises added to my program. hammies got a big workout.

OY at Goolman. Juliana did a great job with the courses - some good route choice needed to avoid big climbs, and plenty of tricky legs across slopes.
Felt rubbish trying to run today. I think I got quite dehydrated yesterday and didn't sleep well last night. piriformis thing is being grumpy again.

I've been doing some stretches and pilates over the last few days, but not enough to deserve a training entry.

Schools team training at Mundoolan. putting out, checking and collecting controls. very tired by the end of the day given how little actual exercise was involved.

River loop. warm morning.

Physio pilates. New program.

home exercises and stretches.

really struggling with energy/motivation for training this week.

Nebo ride with Rachel. Definitely the longest road rode I've done in ages, and the first time I've taken my new bike on a proper hilly outing. Luckily Rachel was tired and didn't tear my legs off. Bike climbs really well considering it's slow and unfit passenger. Now time for nap.

river loop. aimed to join the trolls but must have been a little late.

physio pilates. new program

River loop with a very small group of trolls. bit quicker than usual.

city run. piriformis not happy.

home exercises and stretches.

pilates and yoga.

OY at daisy hill. the map has been updated and the course was quite good, so this was heaps better than previous runs here. running was pretty good, but you had to pick your lines. Nav generally good, but ran out of legs about 3/4 of the way around, although that's still progress. 10mins behind Kryso though... can't even comprehend running at that speed at the moment.

warm up, run to the start etc.

stretching and exercises. needed to do more, but also needed to go to sleep.

long-ish run at coottha - first of these since Jan at least. very tired so slept in and started late, but it was a nice cool morning anyway. pace was easy, but the run still got hard in the last 10 mins.

physio pilates

planning on riding this morning but had a really bad night's sleep so bailed. not feeling great and hr is up. trying to pretend I'm not getting sick.

city run. glute and hammy tight again. too much sitting at my desk.

Hot yoga. Good session but probably the last for a while.
