Long run up Mt Tennent and around Honeysuckle with Devil. Pretty glad I took a rest day yesterday rather than doing some sprint courses like I thought (work got in the way, again. tends to do that?!)

A bit worried that Devil thinks we took it easy up the 4wd track to the top of Tennent? 52mins up, by which time my calves and achilles were grumpy as. But surprisingly good the rest of the way, careened it down the single track stuff, and had a pretty solid effort keeping up with Devil's pace along the undulating stuff. kept dropping back on the uphills...I blame his long legs. 2.11 to honeysuckle car park, then a bit of a bush bash track back to almost the start, and a bit of training for mumma's mile on the goat, back up the road to the car ;)

Thoroughly enjoyable all up, but glad I didn't have to do anything in the afternoon!

WU and WD up and back from uni to circumcision track. Feeling good and strong, specially on the way home!

7x2min intervals around circumcision. 3 1/4 ints take you all the way round it turns out. So decided to go up to the summit on the 6th one, that was some good pain! Which made the final one a technical down hill, and a 30s blast along the flat at the end.

best I've felt on a session in weeks. Felt the right ankle a bit, and the left quad occasionally , but actually felt like an athlete. It's been a while!

C • It's all about timIng and y... 2

calf feeling a lot better this morning. Should be able to run today :)

to/from uni in the arvo. To go by Carsten's rule of if this counts as training or not - there was sweat, but mainly due to wearing too many layers! Hence it was heat training ;)

to and from wed metro event from home, easing the aches and pains out of my legs. Or trying to anyway

Shannon's Metro course on N Ainslie. Fun middle length course, should have been about 25mins but wasted 2-3mins on number 2 running in circles like a headless chicken!

Rest was fine navigationally but every time I got up speed I seemed to go over on my right ankle. Wrong choice to wear my trabucos with orthotics, too high for the rough ground. but didn't want to run 30mins on the roads in my inov8s getting there and back... Maybe i need to carry a shoe change!

to uni + pool + home with sah. She cruised while i pushed to keep up with her road bike

with sah at civic. luckily the little kids swimming lessons left the deep half of one lane free :)

was going to do 30:30 but could feel the calf on the first couple, so just kept it steady. Don't have the mental toughness for a 2hr session like angela!

Plan for today was to run up mt tennent with Devil. Not sure why I ever thought that would be a good idea for a post soccer match day! Given how sore my calf was every time i rolled over last night, realised it would be a bad move to try and do it today.
So hopefully all good for next saturday :)

Good decision I think as a 3hr run today would wipe me out til atleast Thurs, and I need 2 good weeks training before jetting overseas

awesome mtn bike with sah and andy. Managed not to stack once, although almost killed myself on one long steep downhill where my lack of back tire grip almost proved fatal, somehow regained the track and avoided the large rocks though!

1-0 loss to Weston Creek. Poos. Dominated but ball went everywhere but in the back of the net!
Won player of the match for the 3rd week running, but starting to question if it's worth how sore my body always is on Monday! Something happened to my calf muscle 10mins from the end, hoping it was just cramp. Very stiff and sore to go down stairs on it today (monday).
Also big bruises on both ankles, huzzah!

Think the team has made a pact to not give me points for player's player next week...
