| Hmm, felt fine when I woke up this morning and on the cycle in and resting pulse positively good, but that is a little high for the morning cycle in. Will rest again and hopefully be alright for tomorrow. Sarah is back in still absolutely chock full of chest infection, why do people insist on dragging themselves in then coughing all over everyone?! Go home! |

| Hmm, today I feel that slightly detached nothing particularly wrong but something's definitely not right feeling. Sarah is off with a chest infection and want to make sure I don't succumb, so will have a day off today, hopefully be well for the weekend. |

| After feeling the traffic light love yesterday today they got their own back. And then it rained when I was stood waiting for the change at Orchard Brae forever. Lots. Boo. |

| Gym session first thing, was going to put it off till later after last night's long late trip home, but then woke up at 6 anyways, what is it with this routine nonsense?! But anyways, the session was a hevay set of:
OH Squat 30 kg 4 x 5
Bent over row 27.5kg 3 x 10
BB Lunge 27.5kg 3 x 10 (still struggling to get the right leg shape on one side)
Did 3 x 10 cable lateral raises totally wrong, and then did them right with 5kg
Cable hip ab/adduction 9kg 3 x 10 each leg each way
Cable russian twist 11kg 3 x 10
I don't like this cable stuff, it's boring and takes ages, but it just really cane my lateral muscles in my core, so I guess that's a good thing. |

| Nice easy lunchtime recovery run along the cycle path, down the water of Leith and back via Orchard Brae and Waitrose. Feeling pretty good considering yesterday's burn up and travel. Must be that rest day on Saturday! |

| Warm up & strides 7:00 [3] | |
| ahr:158 max:178 shoes: Shiny silver integrators |
| Less of a warm up than I would have liked before the CSC Final - stomach was not feeling good (should learn my lesson and not go back to the processed food every weekend!) at all and jumping etc wasn't really an option. |
| Orienteering race 49:28 [5]***** 6.62 km (7:28 / km) +135m 6:47 / km | |

| Compass Sport Cup Final at Blidworth. I knew today was going to be an out round the tracks burn up, and beforehand was feeling good in the legs but stomach was not a happy bunny at all. Set off being a bit hesistant, kept doubting my distance judgement and looking slightly short of the control, aswell as going for safe round the tracks routes. This had lost me a minute to Liis by number 4, but then I settled into the pace, got a better feel for which bits of forest were runnable through and which bits you should peg it round. Was feeling the stomach badly by number seven and it was significantly slowing me, and went to the loo on the way to 8, which though lost me 40 seconds I think sped me up more than that for the rest, as then the fastest splits started to come, 8 in total. Not sure I shouldn't have been brave and cut across the last bit to number eight. Hesistant on the way to 10, tried to count invisible broken paths, but from then on really good. Almost lost control at 17 but stopped for 3 secs and realised was bang on target, straight into control after stop. By the end was running really strongly, picking up fastest splits, and felt I could have gone on for another few km. Good race I guess, shame about the stomach at the beginning! 3rd place, just over 90 secs down on Liis Johansen and a super close 7 seconds behind Emma Dahlstedt. Cool. |

| Rest day, rest day! Yey yey yey. Took me six hours to drive home in my last ever trip in Jeff. I'm actually rather sad about this. Poor Jeff.
I do feel rather wobbly today, I really hope I haven't caught the Jon disease. Have cancelled my trip to Leeds this evening and will spend a nice relaxing one at home instead. Mmmm home. |
