Run out to trigg beach, barefoot on the soft sand for 26 minutes, then return the same way... how do I log multiple pairs of shoes for one run??

28:48, 5.76km (5:00/km)
53:37, 8.16km (6:34/km) sand
26:39, 5.67km (4:42/km)

Legs felt very tired at the start (for some reason paddling does that to me...) but got going OK after 10-15 min, though still struggled a bit uphill and found it tough going on the sand. Put in a little more effort on the way home, but didn't have enough in the tank to justify trying to but in a tempo surge.

Event: Bayswater MetrO
 

Feeling a bit frustrated with work, then spending the whole day washing clothes and tidying up meant I had to get out of the house and do something. Seeing as I am still planning on running tomorrow morning and couldn't be bothered riding in the dark, that left paddling as the best option.

Had initially planned on just looping around Heirisson Island, but started into the wind and got a bit carried away. Turned around at garrett Rd bridge.

T'was surprisingly not as bad as expected. In fact felt much like most of my paddles when I was paddling regularly, and may well have been faster than many of them as well (although local muscle fatigue kicked in a bit in the last 20 minutes). If I could just figure out why my left butt cheek always starts hurting after about half an hour, which I'm pretty sure destroys what little semblance of torso rotation in my pathetic imitation of a paddle stroke, paddling may actually be fun

C • pressure? 8

Not very inspired commute to work. Didn't push too hard apaprt from trying to catch up to a truck to draft of it. I started gaining, but holding 50km/hr uphill was too much of an ask

I was sure that the temperature was going to be less severe than predicted when the thunderstorms struck in the middle of the day and for a few fleeting moments a seabreeze threatened, but it was a stonking SEly by the time I left for home, which made it hot, fairly hard and not terribly enjoyable. Mmmmm blue powerade.

Did the usual Thursday morning ritual of dragging my sorry butt out of bed early, struggling to stay awake driving to work, then heading out on my run. Felt pretty awful during the warm-up, but even after the legs started to come slightly good, just felt so lethargic and lifeless. Tried half of my run-thurs, but never got out of second gear. Seeing as session was meant to be short and FAST, bailed and just did a little lap of the trail off the edge of the park and crawled back to school. Hard to convince myself to keep jogging. Legs felt OK by the time I finished, but still no energy. Weird and annoying. May have to try session again tomorrow or Saturday. (By which time I might find out what pace and recoveries the session is meant to have :) )

C • Computer use 4

Legs shattered on the way to the swimming carnival. Not much better on the way home. Knee got sorer standing around during the day. Very hot on the way home.

4 x 2km @5km pace, 5 min rest recoveries.
Based on last Tuesday, 17:15 = 3:27/km, so target of 6:54

Times of 6:53, 6:54. 6:54, 6:57

so got it just about right. Certainly couldn't have gone any faster on the last one. Knackered.

Blah. Wanted to do my windtrainer session in the afternoon, but work got in the way. Bit annoying...
