(injured)

Went to the physio today and she said that i can jog on flat ground, no up or down hills. She said i can run next week, which is not long before easter. :(

Cycling 52:46 [3] 18.66 km (2:50 / km) +242m 2:39 / km
ahr:158 max:182

Decided that i should listen to the physio and not run at morialta tonight, so i rode my bike. I did a pretty similar loop to last week, but a little bit further. Did some extra loops at the end looking for Lauren.

Running 39:52 [3] 7.57 km (5:16 / km) +75m 5:01 / km
ahr:157 max:184 (injured) shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 15 #2

First actual run since i did my ankle 9 days ago. It wasnt too bad, but it did hurt a bit. It didnt like uneven ground very much, but that was to be expected. Not sure about morialta tomorrow, i'll see what the physio says tomorrow.

Orienteering 26:08 [3] *** 1.93 km (13:32 / km) +83m 11:09 / km
ahr:141 max:171 (injured) shoes: Brooks Cascadia 4

Putting out mini flags for the line course i set at Narrinyeri. Wore my ankle brace for the first time in about 2 years, and it went pretty well. Not much pain and it felt fairly stable.

Orienteering 17:00 [3] *** 1.72 km (9:53 / km) +64m 8:20 / km
ahr:163 max:185 (injured) shoes: Brooks Cascadia 4

Picking up controls. I didnt do any courses, because i had to help on rego and my physio told me im not supposed to run anyway. I didnt take a compass picking up controls and my direction was still pretty good, even through the green, i was going slower though.

Didnt feel like doing anything after a long day a work. Ankle is getting better, but is still a bit sore. Bruising is gone and swelling is almost gone.

Cycling 8:32 [2] 5.21 km (1:38 / km)
ahr:156 max:170

From my parent's place to paradise motors to pick up my car. Downhill, yah!

Cycling 54:52 [3] 16.68 km (3:17 / km) +290m 3:02 / km
ahr:158 max:184

Cycling at Belair while the others were running. Went up QJ to the tap, then down to the redwoods. I must have less fear than Tyson and Fern, as i rode all the way down the bessa block track! There was a point about 3/4 of the way down where it got a bit steeper and i thought i was going to fall off, but i kept going, Win! Then back down almost to the bottom. I was early, so i went back up to Government house, then to the tunnel and down past pines and a lap of the lake. I got back and nobody was there, so i went back up to the playground and back again. Fun!

Stairs are not good for bad ankles! Climbed about 200 at work today and that was nowhere near as much as normal.

Ankle is geeting better though, the swelling is going down and the bruising is starting to go away. I'll be running again in no time!
