7.5hrs surveying in Maynooth. Dead.

All my leg bones are aching. Weird.

Feet sore. These shoes are so annoying!

Straight after run. Just over intensity 4 but was sweating a lot after the run.

Pain on top of foot but no ankle pain.

Not much pain in the ankle today but still some foot pain.

Rehab run.
Orthopedic insoles hurt....normal insoles hurt.....not good.

Time for reflection on the Scottish.
I don't like losing at all, especially when i know i'm capable of winning.
I have to be more disciplined in trying to beat this shin injury, have been very lazy since jwoc and my last three days were ruined as a result.
I have to nail down my orienteering technique, got it at the end of day 2 where i lost about 10secs in mistakes in 3km, gaining time on the leaders.

There are some positives.
This was better than i have ever done before in scottish terrain, even when just jogging i wasn't that far behind the winners.
The terrain bodes well for what will be a sweet WOC 2015.
I now have the motivation to train hard for the next few weeks before school starts again, just one more year!

Another great thing is that the season isn't over yet!
JHI's and SHI's in September and then hopefully will get to EYOC in October.

I will train a lot less than previously this year due to the old LC but i think that it will be better for me. Quality over quantity, something I neglected this year. I will be running 4 days a week with 3 key sessions per week. The rest of my training will be cross training e.g cycling to school etc. Hopefully I will be able to stay injury free as well!

At the moment, taking a small break this week. Just cycling with maybe 10mins easy running per day. Keeping up the core work and will try and get into ice baths again! Keeping rolling too so I have no pain when I start training seriously again. Looking forward to bigger and better things this year!

Taking a week off serious running.
