Yet again zero energy. Did about a 15min warm up with a few drills and felt like I had already done an entire session, and then I started to get a bit stressed about it so my breathing was also going a bit insane.
2* 4x1min Hills. Felt motivated enough to still get it done and was relatively consistent, but man it didn't feel very good.
Took the shortest way home for a warm down.

Kinda thought I'd run today but I felt so buggered and flat when I got home, don't know what it was! Decided I may as well just rest because it wasn't a hard session. Still need to learn how to nap...

Straight to walka after full day at uni. Hadn't eaten enough and was pretty exhausted but good to get it done. It's been a while since i've run at walka so that was nice! Kinda surprised with the pace considering I felt so flat beforehand, so surprised that I actually don't know if i trust it... My heart rate has been doing some strange things lately though, seems funny

I guess our winning streak had to be broken at some point! The GS actually ran around for a change though, so it mightn't have been the best game by the Angels but it was the most enjoyable half in GK I've ever had!

Expected to finish Uni really late but was itching for a hard session again so decided to give the bikes at the uni gym a go.
16min warm up, 1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1min pyramid with half the recovery time ticking my legs over. Felt like my heart rate was super super high, and I was sweating like a pig so think it was a quality session. Doesn't quite feel the same as running intervals though... Had to switch to the generic bikes for the warm down and they were so dodgy!

Had the perfect amount of time to fit in a bit of core before the train home.

with possibly the sweetest, most placid yoga instructor ever.

Wasn't going to do anything today but mum asked if I wanted to go for a jog and it was just the excuse to stop assignments that I was looking for. Legs were a little stiff but not feeling too tired or anything so that's nice!

The slightly belated 21st birthday run with the fabulous company of Josh and Kas. Started at the Belmont end of the Fernleigh Track and got a bit of a surprise by the first 9km being a gradual uphill. Then we picked up the Great North Walk and went through Glenrock and down to the beach. Plodded our way along the sand to get to Merewether baths and then followed along the coast to Bar beach and the Anzac walk. Stopped at some taps here, but surprisingly felt not so bad considering we left the biggest hill of the whole run to the last 10mins. Finished it off with a nice, jolting downhill from King Edward Park to Newcastle beach! Perfect sunny day, perfect route, perfect post run choc banana milkshake - cheerin'!
