Body just holding together

Have been a little stiff over the past week, so missing a couple of easy runs to get the body back and some more massages. A stick to the head from a passing Dog walker usually does the trick as it happened on Thursday night.

Tues pm - 40 minutes to StLeonards from Chatswood, looping around some ovals on the way.
Wed am - 80 from home to StL, via the bush near home.
Wed pm - Easy 40 minutes again
Thurs lunch - Mona Fartlek in LCNP. Felt tiring.
Thurs pm - 41 min around Gordon oval, for 10km before a dinner appt. Lady with stupid looking dog, managed to throw stick straight at me. Dogs are not even allowed on the oval. Fair dinkum.
Fri am - 39 minutes from North Ryde, to StL to join Farah for brekky.
Fri pm - Massage

Joining Jan-Willem tommorrow for a session around Centennial.
