Note
(sick) (rest day)
1) Snow upon waking up in the morning = cool!!! Not enough to get the skis out though, just a dusting.
2) Lots of cooking. Celery soup and apple cake. Yum.
3) Add illness to injury. Coughing like a fiend. Blech.

Note
(rest day)
Day off. Do still have to cycle in to town twice, which is far, but not taking that hard.
Think I've decided not to run varsity. I'm certainly not getting better quickly.

Crosstrainer 20:00 [2]
Cross-trainer-age. Again.
Crossramp at 6, resistance at 10, I think. Just tried to keep above 170 reps the whole time.
Showed up in ski tights, which I admit, were pretty ridiculous for the gym!

Rowing 5:00 [2]
Little bit of rowing love on the erg. Around 2:05. Bit worried that rowing is tough on the thing that hurts in my bum. (Where the hamstring connects to pelvis??)
Running 7:33 [2] 1.0 mi (7:33 / mi)
shoes: Asics Stratus
1 mile, or 1600 rather, 7.33 pace. So not ridiculously, ridiculously slow anymore, but need to be faster soon!
Behind knee pain was minimal, but pain in bum was quite noticeable. Stride didn't feel too awkward if I stayed focused.

Crosstrainer 18:00 [2]
shoes: Asics Stratus
10 min warm up, felt fine, then 5 min after the first 10 min tempo, then a few more minutes after bailing on the second tempo
Crossramp = 6, Resistance = 10
Crossramp = 6, Resistance = 10
Crosstrainer 12:00 [4]
Tempo. Trying to keep reps above 185, which took focus!
Crossramp = 6, Resistance = 12
Was going to do 2 x 10 min, but left calf started to feel real funny 2 min into the second one, so bailed.

Running 18:08 [1] 3.2 km (5:40 / km)
shoes: Asics Stratus
And made it 8 times around the track. Still slow as anything, and awkward, but the intense pain didn't start... Woo! Slow and steady back into it hopefully... Thinking about really picking up my left knee seems to make my stride a bit more even.
Times (not like they matter, soooo slow)

Surprised about how even it was there through the middle!

Crosstrainer 20:00 [3]
On housemates Jess's recommendation, decreased the crossramp incline, and worked hard to keep strides per minute really high. Made it a much better workout! Feel like I could actually do a session on them now, which is good, because they're much more like running than the erg is.
Running 10:00 [1]
shoes: Asics Stratus
Bam! Look who ran for 10 minutes. At about 9:30 pace. Clearly a jog really, but at least was out there on my feet!
How'd it feel?
Awkward, in a word. Left leg is just weird. Not sure why. Focused on trying to be even in stride and all, not sure if I managed it. Left calf burning by end, no pain in right one...

Orienteering 45:00 [1]
Cycle-city-o: cycling around Joe's street score course.
I think counts as orienteering training. Got destroyed by Ian however, who was also on a bike... I don't think I was actually that much more effective than those on foot, really hard to read a map on a bike when it's crunched up in your hand and in the dark... Also hard to search for post it notes on a bike!

Crosstrainer 20:00 [1]
Hamstring felt ok, still strange. Hard to work hard on this thing without spazzing out. Maybe I don't have good cross-trainer technique. Maybe I'm being careful of the hammie.
Rowing 15:00 [3]
Now that's a better workout! Too bad it's sooooo boring. Was doing a stroke for each letter in words on the far side of the gym... was rowing around 2:05 the whole time, not bad.

Strength 35:00 [1]
Circuits, with fewer people this week, maybe catching up from training day/in 6th-week-survival mode.
I was good and avoided explosive leg things. Hamstring. Be. Better.
