Easy evening run around Cork

Morning run incl. 5x100m sprints. Legs very sore from Monday's gym session!

Run in the Dark Cork 5K. First lap nice & easy, second lap a nightmare due to slow pace walkers all over. Impossible to overtake them in some places and a few times I just had to stop and wait. Quite anoying. Also, no signs to the finish and so many people on the first lap that I just missed the turn and had to turn around.

10x1min/1min intervals on wet grass. Irish winter is gradually hitting on us. Just horrendous weather. Heavy diagonal rain and strong winds. Quite special feeling to fight against the storm all alone in the darkness!

First strength session since last winter or something. Felt so incredibly weak! Legs all shaky after just few basic exercises. Did heel raises, one leg heel raises, lunges, squats and one leg squats with barbell and with varying weights, then balancing butt exercises stepping down from the step board with 5kg weight, one leg dead lifts followed by heel raise with 5kg weight, Galen Rupp lunges, hamstrings in a machine and with Swissball, leg presses, some jumps, core, and upper body exercises. Have to join a gym and do this more regularly! Swim and sauna afterwards was pretty nice :)
