Belted but worth it...

A hard week by any imagination of 167km, and Saturdays two run of a solid 60 minutes through the bush around home and a tough 2 hour run with Wife in tow on the bike, made Sundays marathon effort in the garden a lot harder.

Felt good this morning around Chatswood for a 45 minute trundle.

Gustabo Kuerten

Rhymes with hurtin. I think it is much more difficult trying to comeback to form than it is running 240k a week.

Wed pm - 60 minutes running home from work at about 8pm

Thurs pm - Mona Fartlek was hard around the Bay, managed first 3km in about 9:50. My warm up and warm down felt just as fast.
Fri am - Slow 30 minutes in the drizzle

Lane Cove and some confidence

Mon pm - 45 min = 11km around work before dark.

Although as stiff as cardboard, I managed to get 8 by 1km reps in Lane Cove Park between the 7 & 8k reps at lunchtime after a massage this morning by Easy Tiger. I think it was the Tiger Balm.

Starting up the hill, 3:04, 3:03, 3:08, 3:04, 3:08, 3:06, 3:12, 3:01.

Dropped in the fog

101km for last week, a massive weekend of gardening led to big bicep syndrome when running. Still have lots of weeds to cull! Also a ridiculous week of work, phone calls from France at midnight after escalating problems with our vendor. What a nightmare!

Mon am - 56 minutes with Col and Ritch from Pennant Hills. Managed to get dropped up the big hill into Pennant Hills Park, felt like I was in a triathlon. Still positive that I can get back to good form soon. This will be the week of good training.

fitness coming back...however

feel like I am walking a tight rope at the moment. After seeing the physio on Monday, a few core stability exercises I am back running. Still sore, but body seems better able to run normally without restriction.

Mon am - 45 minutes around work = 10km
Mon pm - 37 minutes around home = 9km
Tues am - 45 minutes around home = 10km
Tues pm - 12 by 1 min on and off around
Wed am - 45 min around home = 10km
Wed pm - a flyer from work via the back way, in 64 min = 16km.

back sprung out of shape

Well a few easy jogs landing back last Monday, and on Thursday night after a slow lap of the Bay I went to stretch my right hammie and bang my back clicked. It seems as though I have lost about 10 cm of my stretching capability and my lower back near the spine is hurting on each stretch.
On Sunday I went to the Star for a casual 26km with the 6:20am group and got through it, but felt a bit restricted. Will probably visit a Chiro, although stretching in the past few days has helped a bit, the pain still exists.
