Training Log Archive: Pippa

Blue course with Ella and Katy. Unfortunately Ella was extremely cold and wouldn't walk which meant I had a double load for most of the course - Katy in the baby bjorn on the front and Ella in the backpack! Great remedy for a sore calf!

C • nice weights session! 1

NSW Middle champs. Kinda distracted by various other things...namely children. Missed my start and then couldn't remember which class andy entered me in and I thought the starting people said W21's (turns out I was in W35's). Didn't really matter as I only did up to the spectator (3/4's) as my calf was getting worse. Very hilly with loads of controls

Disaster struck today. We organised ourselves so that Andy (who has a sore back) & his mum would take the girls over to Maki's 3rd b'day while I would run there. My calf started to tighten up about 10mins into the 70min run so I stopped and stretched. Then 20mins into the run it went - I was a long way from Cathy's and too far from our place to make it back before Andy left. Didn't have my phone on me and the only person I sawing didn't have a mobile. So my aim was to hobble/walk and try an intercept Andy in the car. Made it to Badjalong Rd and walked along there towards Jase & BA's house (my backup plan). Luckily as I just started to head down the alleyway I saw our blue car - Yah I was saved. Andy stopped - I had to squash in the back between the 2 girls and off to Maki's party we went with a grumpy mummy.

C • injury curse 2

Farmhouse loop with Pippa. Under pressure to get this run in but managed just. At least I didn't get wet unlike Andy who ran into work once I got back.

midday run in the sunshine with pippa around the farmhouse loop

Pippa and I ran up Mt Painter slowly with a few walking bits

Farmhouse loop - felt ok considering the lack of sleep last night - even Pippa caused us trouble with an upset tummy :(

Kangaroo paddock loop with Pippa who was on a recovery run as she had already been out with Andy on a hilly 45min run. The rate I'm training I may even be fit enough to keep up with the Dees when they return from their overseas holiday in a month's time.
