 | RUNNING race (Blodslitet) 5:00 [3] | |
| |
| Started well, got into the map and then......... |
| Note | |
| (injured) |
| I slipped over, there was this stick/stump sitting up out of the ground about 500mm, that I fell on. It penetrated the skin under the armpit.
I lay there for a min thinking something was not right, there was some blood and a lot of pain, so I had to get back to the assembly area, about a k, once I got back there, I sat down, and promptly fainted.
This put the wind up the organisers, when I came to, they had a car organised, and 3 chaperones, we went to Daylesford Hospital, cant remember much, except it seem to take ages. Once there, the concern was wether it had gone through the chest cavity into the lung, and wether I was bleeding internally. All the test seemed to indercate that all was OK, but as a precation, I was taken by ambulance to Ballarat Hospital for Xray, no internal damage, so that was good. But then, they still had to operate, to remove any foreign matter, got out of the theatre about 8pm, and given the all clear, looks like it penetrated 60-70 mm, but no major damage, no running exercise for the rest of the week.
Oh Well, I was lucky, it could have been a whole lot worse |

| |
| 16k Cross Country race at Geelong, didn't really want to do this race as I am doing the Blodslitet tomorrow, but they wanted a 5th runner for the team, so how could I say no. 4k laps, 1st lap in 15.45, so far so good, then 16.00, things arent to bad, was not really racing it, everyone else in my team was in front of me, so I knew I was going to come in last for the team, 3rd lap in 16.30, that didnt sound so good, total time was up to 48.15, so I badly wanted to go under 65, so held it together and ran the last hill hard, another 16.30 lap, I was happy with that, but as I was so exhausted, I did not warm down, Oh Well, I will pay for it tommorrow |

| RUNNING 20:00 [3] | |
| |
| Big day tomorrow, so headed out and did a lazy 20 mins. About 9.30 at night, up to the OTH pub and back |
Wednesday Jun 20 |
| RUN 1:20:00 [3] 17 km (4:42 / km) | |
| |
| As I didn't quite do a long run on Sunday, today was going to be longer than a normal Wednesday run.
Left home at 3 pm ran down the creek, past Weerona and out to Epsom, then the back rd to the saleyards, and onto the Nursery, where I picked up the work truck for deliveries tomorrow and drove home.
Felt like I was not going to make it early on, but at the end i was feeling stronger, glad I got the most inportant run for the week out of the way |

| INTERVALS race 10:00 [4] | |
| |
| Tuesdays is Interval day, and as I am on a GFQ (Get Fit Quick) program, I thought I should do some, Checked out with the Keely boys what was the go, so met them at Lake Weerona at 7 PM, yes in the dark, and it was cold as well,
Was meant to be a 1/2 Mona session (2 x 90secs, 2 x 60, 2 x 30, 2 x 15), but as i had dropped of the back going into the 1st float, and as I did not have a watch, I could not tell when to go to the float, so it ended up more like a 10 min time trail for me, at these I got out there and gave it a go, with 2 thermals on |
