Note
slept:6.5 (injured)

Still sore and still no motivation. Feeling low but for no particular reason. Maybe racing at the truce took a lot more out of me than I thought.

Spent the morning finishing the woods mapping at Bowden Housteads. Very dodgy area but thankfully it was gone midday before the chavs managed to get out of bed and tear around the area two-on-a-bike minus any helmets. Natural selection does exist. Some potentially dangerous but interesting housing around the woods. Not an area for a night event!

Note
(injured)

I hate days that I have no firm plans. The result was that I achieved very little. Lower back still really tight and hurting so decided not to run again. Maybe should have tried.

Back still sore and motivation low, so sat the day out.

Note
slept:7.5 weight:73kg (injured) (rest day)

Rest day; not that tired as the past two days have been easy, but my back has been at me all day so sitting it out for the day is not a bad idea.

Run - Trail 1:01:20 [1] 10.3 km (5:57 / km) +70m 5:46 / km
slept:7.5 (injured) shoes: Asics 2140

Nice and easy run round the north bit of Ladybower from the bridge with Faye. Amazing evening, wasn’t expecting it at all and great to be out in it. This run is so much better than anything she has access to in Leeds…

Run - Orienteering race 17:30 [3] ** 3.2 km (5:28 / km) +90m 4:48 / km
spiked:26/26c slept:3.5 (injured) shoes: Asics 2140

High Hazels Park. Nice little jaunt, took it very easy as my legs are screwed from yesterday but enjoyed myself much. Not a very difficult area (mostly mown parkland) but very pleasant and the it was a very enjoyable way to spend the evening.

Run - Terrain 11:00 [1] 1.7 km (6:28 / km) +35m 5:52 / km
(injured) shoes: Asics 2140

Lap of the map to try and loosen the old legs out. Park full of Asian kids (not all well behaved) but very few British; does this say more about the area or the lifestyles of the different ethnic groups?

7 PM

Run - Trail race 27:34 [5] 6.2 km (4:27 / km) +150m 3:58 / km
slept:6.5 (injured) shoes: Inov8 2009

Trunce. First this year; knew that it was going to hurt but wanted to do it as a barometer of how my fitness is going. It hurt loads, especially running off the top of the hills – made the hills okay but then couldn’t get moving once on top. Ran 27.34, some way off my pb of 14.51, but I’m happy with that as I did try really hard (still got well beaten by Treb and ba-ba though).

Right hip sore running and back not feeling the love now. Fecking useless INOV8’s gave me yet another blister despite tying to wear then in for 6 months!!! Useless fecking shoes.

Run - Trail warm up/down 16:00 [2] 3.7 km (4:19 / km) +40m 4:06 / km
(injured) shoes: Inov8 2009

Decent enough warm-up despite getting there quite late after rushing away from work.
8 PM

Run - Trail warm up/down 13:00 [1] 1.7 km (7:39 / km)
(injured)

Warm down trot with GG (who beat Little Rob’s record in 22.44), ba-ba and Hobbs. Completely knackered. Copious quantities of deep fried potato chunks eaten for dinner.
