Running 25:10 [3]
Got up before school to go for a jog bc I planned to go mtbing this arvo. Just plodded most of the way up David st and back down. There were harriers chalk marks on the ground (i assume) so I might follow them some time.
Didn't make it for riding in the evening, foot too sore and I was stuffed

Running 20:18 [3]
Arvo stint on Wattle, Brigalow and Macarthur. I would upgrade the pace to a jog for the first 8-10mins, then it was back to a plod for the last half. And a real limp towards the end when my foot got very sore. Nice afternoon to be out!

Running 21:20 [3]
Solo arvo plod on OConnor ovals in the snow. Well it's not snow but it looks like it (weird floating white stuff from the trees).
Can nearly walk properly! And I have decided my foot isn't broken after all. But it's some weird thing where all the fluid gets built up in a particular spot. Because when Grant pressed his fingers on the sore area, a massive dent stayed for ages

National Ride to Work Day!
Since I sent an email to the whole staff about the many benefits, I thought I had better participate. So out of 30 staff: the janitor, the only male teacher and me were the ones who rode. Pathetic!

Running 20:07 [3]
Felt worse than yesterday :-(
Grant came with me for a slooooow plod on OConnor ovals. Could possibly be the worst I've felt all year, but can't decide which is worse - the foot pain today or the 24hr stomach bug run back in March.
Feels like my foot is broken, but I hope it isn't. It's very swollen and a bit bruised though, so I had to break my vow not to have any more anti-inflamms. I lasted one day without them!

Running 30:20 [3]
Fel came by to help me hobble around OConnor ovals for a while! Deary me, quads are shot to pieces and foot was killing.
Today at school I even took a chair out to watch the kids do PE. How embarrassing.

Running (Melbourne Marathon) 3:15:04 [3] 42.2 km (4:37 / km)
Got up at 5.30am and had some coffee and porridge (and 2 voltarin 50mg and 2 ibuprofen - in case the voltarin was a bad batch as it hasn't seemed to be working at all in the past week), checked out of my accomm and hauled myself and my 10kg bag over to the MCG. I wasn't feeling nervous or pumped at all, which is the opposite of every other fun run I've done this year. I only went to the toilet twice instead of the usual double digits before a race.
Deeks was getting the marathoners pumped at the start line but I was more looking at the girl next to me who didn't have any shoes on - just some tape around her toes. Well, I thought, surely I'm better off than her!
Lined up near the 3.15 pacer man as I aimed to go out at that pace and see what happened with my hammy and any other variables that could occur!
Started out at about 4.30min/kms and felt ok with that apart from the usual pulling/tugging/pain of my hamstring/bum area. It was pretty bad for the first 20km or so and I kept wondering if it was going to cramp up as that's kind of what it felt like. But anyway, pushed on just in front of the 3.15 bus, had a gel at about 20km. Thought I got a min or 2 ahead of the pace bus through the early twenties, but gradually my km rates were getting slower, quite a few around the 4.45min/km.
Quads started making themselves known around the late twenties, also the mental battle started about here - but I was expecting this at some stage! Kept grinding away, but getting slower (and it was really windy along the foreshore). But my hammy pain seemed to have faded which was great.
At about 32km (10km to go!) I heard someone say "Go the 3.15's" and turned around to see the pacer right behind me! Crap, they had caught me up. Damn, I hadn't realised that. Oh well, the only thing I could do was try and hold on. I tucked in behind him and just kept telling myself not to let them go - I knew I would be happy with 3.15, and not as happy if I had a slower time. It was a real mental battle. The kilometres ticked over and I was hanging on as we started passing lots of people. In fact, I don't think anyone passed me in the last 10km but there were lots of people walking or shuffling.
At 41km the time was about 3.10 so I did the quick maths and realised at the current pace we would finish slightly over 3.15, unless I had a kick. I didn't have a kick and my chip time was 3.15.04
Finishing in the MCG was fun but I just wanted to sit down. Had a PAINFUL massage straight after finishing which I only got to help me run on Monday.
Injuries: third degree chafing burns under my sportsbra, a very sore foot (between ankle and little toe) and obviously sore quads. Hammy? Can't tell how it has come up at the moment
