| Pilates 35:00 [2] | |
| (injured) | ||
| An advanced pilates workout. I handled the easier parts ok, but my body wasn't quite up to the advanced workout. My abs are already feeling stronger, but I'm still quite sore around the pelvis and hips. | ||
| Orienteering 40:30 [3] 8.9 km (4:33 / km) | |
| (injured) | ||
| Street orienteering at Quarries Park. The map was reconfigured across Merri Creek and into Westgarth, meaning that it was truly home terrain.
Controls at Mason's primary school, playground and at the end of my street made navigation very easy for me. This run was essentially a test for me to see if I should continue to train with pain, or have a rest period. The warm up was a real struggle. It felt like a constant stomach cramp for the whole way, and I couldn't get any pace up. I started the race slowly, jogging for the first 10 minutes. The pain eased slightly, but was still there throughout. I increased the tempo to 4m/km for the second half, but it was not at all enjoyable. I did enough to win, but I felt terrible. It seems that I can run if I absolutely have to, but I can't race properly. I'll talk to my physio on Monday and see what he says. Unfortunately, Queensland is looking very doubtful at this stage. | ||

| MMM Winter Romp
A nominate your own time event with no watches allowed. I nominated 34:59 for 2 laps of the tan. Apparently my first lap was exactly 17:30, so I was on target, but I finished in 34:40. I thought that 19 seconds over 35 minutes was pretty good, but it was only good enough for 5th place! I'll have to wait another year for my chance at the $30 Rebel Sport voucher and the perpetual trophy. Even after stretching, my oesteitis pubis was quite sore on the warm up. It was bearable on the first lap, and fine by the second lap. It seems that if I just push through the initial pain that I can continue to train. It doesn't seem to be getting any worse. | ||

| Running 45:00 [3] 9 km (5:00 / km) | |
| (injured) | ||
| King's Park - Perth.
Started at 6am to get a run in before the funeral. An early start the day after a long flight, and being injured all gave me good reasons for this to be hard work, but instead it was quite the opposite. I found that after stretching for 15 minutes and doing pilates, the oesteitis pubis pain was manageable. With only minor pain, the run was very enjoyable. I headed up from the bottom lake/playground, up the broadway, through the botanic gardens around the war memorial, around the old Kullmann house, tennis courts and back along the sandy tracks through the bushland. Signs of spring were in the bush. The wattle was out, along with kangaroo paws and many other wildflowers. The green grass on the sandy tracks has started to brown off, and there was some warmth in the air. | ||

Thanks to mum and dad for flying from Adelaide to Melbourne to look after the kids. | ||
| Pilates 25:00 [1] | |
| (injured) | ||
| Core strenthening - this time without the video.
This was after the flight to Perth, so I was a bit tired and tight. | ||
Tuesday Aug 26 | ||
| Running intervals 1:00:00 [4] 12 km (5:00 / km) | |
| (injured) | ||
| The kids are in childcare/school today, so I'm back to the office for a rest! The good news is that I will be able to catch up on orienteering emails and get some lunchtime training in! I'll try to fit in some real work in there somewhere too.
Ganly session. 500 800 1000 1000 800 500. Felt some groin pain all the way down on the warm up. I wasn't sure if I would do the session, but it got a bit better as I continued. By the first 1000, it didn't feel too bad. I was a bit restricted in movement, but the constant pain had almost disappeared. I was able to complete the session feeling the best I have in the last 2 weeks of running. The test will be when I get back to the office this afternoon and walk around after I have cooled down. I'm just about to do a test walk down the corridor to the printer. It wasn't great, but it is not getting any worse. | ||

| Pilates video
I could feel some good stretching and straining in my pelvic region, so it felt like it was doing some good. | ||
Sunday Aug 24 | ||
| Running 1:00:00 [3] 12 km (5:00 / km) | |
| I got a run in today thanks to Warren and Tash for looking after the kids.
My groin still hurt a bit today when running. I tried to stretch a fair bit before the run, but it was still quite uncomfortable. I pulled up a little sore, but not as bad as after the run on Friday. | ||
