| Hadn't tackled my Willans Hill run in a while and it showed, I struggled up the hills big time!!

(we introduced a lolly jar into the office 2day, filled with old favourites... sherbies, fantales, red skins.....) |

Tuesday Nov 21 |
| Running 59:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom |
| Decided against a repeat of yestie arvos hot run and got up in the morn instead (prob a good idea as it's already 36 degrees at 1pm). Standard run up to Mitchell Rd and home again. |
| Cycling (Mtb) 25:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom |
| Got home from work and Cameron was just about to go for a cycle, so decided to join him. Was a nice and easy ride, Cam's been sick since getting home from Canberra on the weekend, so the pace was just what I needed. |
Monday Nov 20 |
| Running 37:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom |
| Summer is here.... got up to 36 degrees in Wagga today (forecast for a tasty 41 on Sunday, our clubs Xmas random relays may be interesting), had cooled down a bit before I went for a run around the Lake, a bit of cloud cover at times helped, wish I hadn't complained so much about last weeks cold weather!! |
Sunday Nov 19 |
| Running long 1:30:00 [4] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus |
| Morning (well 9.30) run, was strangly humid and had warmed up a fair bit by the time I got home. I guess I'll be going a lot earlier in the morning from now on, goodbye sunday sleepins :( |

| Running race 29:15 [4] 6.4 km (4:34 / km) vdot: 43.2 | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom |
| Last road runners for the year, thankfully not as hot as last week. Was hoping to go under 30mins this week, and was very surprised with my time as it didn't feel like I was running that well. |
Friday Nov 17 |
| Running 35:00 [4] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom |
| Back home and was hanging out for a run around the Lake (living in town didnt provide too many enjoyable running routes, guess the weather didnt help).

Thursday Nov 16 |
| Running 58:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom |
| Morning run, was so so cold and windy plus I only took summer running clothes to my Grans so I suffered, my hands still felt frozen by the time I got to work |
| Cycling (Mtb) 20:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom |
| Ride from in town out to the burbs. Main aim was to get my bike home. Managed to catch Mum (she did have a good 5 min start on me) cycling home from work. |

Tuesday Nov 14 |
| Running 1:02:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom |
| Decided to try out the Wiradjuri track today. Joined it at Flowerdale Lagoon which is looking surprisingly good at the moment, then went along some random dirt roads before going through the City Club golf course (keeping my eyes peeled for stray golf balls) and then straight up at back of Pomingalarna Hill, this part was rather painfull!! Enjoyed the downhills home!! |

Monday Nov 13 |
| Running 40:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom |
| Didnt really have anything in mind this arvo, just went for a run around Central Waggaish. Ended up running around the MTC, which took at lot longer than expected (only managed to find myself down one dead end lane way!) stopped off at the Duke of Kent Oval on my way home and did a few surges. Right Hamstring was feeling a bit tight at the start. |
Sunday Nov 12 |
| Orienteering race 35:33 [4] 5.6 km (6:21 / km) | |
| shoes: Jalas - old |
| Local event at Pomingalarna. Was a pretty basic course (it's kinda hard to set anything harder than an Orange out there). Was happy with my navigating, no errors. It was actually raining which made it all the more enjoyable |
| Cycling (Mtb) 23:30 [3] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom |
| Cylced home from Pommy, I'm house sitting at my Grans in town this week. Came back along the Wiradjuri walking track, was quite nice, will hopefully get a run along there later this week.
Spent 2 hours in the afternoon out at the Uni with Dad field checking for the map for the NSW Sprint Champs we're running next year, should be a good area for the event |
Saturday Nov 11 |
| Running race 30:33 [5] 6.4 km (4:46 / km) vdot: 41.1 | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom |
| Road Runners at Wagga Beach/Nth Wagga. Not exactly the run I had been hoping for. Felt great for the first km or so, but then I just couldn't seem to breathe, not sure why, it was a tad humid down on the flood plain. Slowed down a fair bit mid-way and Dad caught me, he pulled me along for the rest of the run |

Tuesday Nov 7 |

| Plumpton hill and back. Slowly adjusting to running in the heat, had a head wind on the way out which was annoying but good on the way back! |
Monday Nov 6 |
| Cycling (Mtb) 10:00 [2] | |
| |
| Cycle to Jubilee Park
|
| Running intervals 40:00 [4] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Zoom |
| Finally made myself go back to intervals. Got there to find out that they have closed the athletics track until Feb cos they are re-seeding it. Ended up using the adjacent rugby oval which someone had marked a 400m loop.
long warm up and stretches.
4 x 400m with a 200m recovery
cool down and stretches.
Felt pretty good considering I havent done any intervals since August, ooops.
Much rathered running on the rugby oval than the dodgy grass track, less risk of spraining an ankle!!

| Road Runners at Wagga Beach. Felt much better than yesterday, head ache finally gone. Struggled with the heat today (I guess thats what you get for running at 1pm). We had a nice dip in the river afterwards thou, could have just about walked across the river its that low at the moment :( |
