| Standard Willans Hill run. Arms were still quite sore from my two pump sessions but the rest of me was feeling ok. The one thing I hate about running in the winter is having to deal with the smoke from peoples wood fires... got my first taste today, grrr |
Wednesday May 30 |
| Running 54:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus |
| After a good dumping of rain yesterday and last night opted for a random run on the streets as I figured my normal tracks would be nice and muddy. Was still a bit drizzley, and the wind was freezing at times. Good to run somewhere different |

| Finished work earlier than I thought I would and went to Pump again |

| Gym 1:00:00 [3] | |

| Definitely going to feel this one tomorrow. Used heavier weights than last week and felt it throughout the class. Great view of the rain pouring down outside during the class. |

| Running 46:50 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus |
| Willans Hill run. Felt really good this morning and the weather was perfect, managed to get away with wearing shorts (still opted for long sleeves tho). I think this must be one of the fastest times I've run this loop.
Off to Albury this arvo, would be nice to have a weekend at home tho!! Next week!! |
Friday May 25 |
| Running 55:00 [3] | |

| Morning easy run (mostly in the dark) with Dad out to the Mitchell Rd track and along it for a bit, then home. Managed to step in two rather muddy puddles in the dark, not happy! |

| Gym 1:00:00 [3] | |

| Made my return to Body Pump tonight after nearly a years absence, probably used weights that were a bit too light but I decided I wanted to be able to move tomorrow. I think my arms will hurt the most :( |

Monday May 21 |
| Running (recovery) 36:30 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus |
| Well this run hurt, not because I was feeling sore from the weekend (which I was), but when I was 5mins from home the sky decided to open... it was pouring (I'm not complaining), then it started to hail!! Ouch!! I ended up having to duck behind a fence until it stopped. Returned home soaking wet |

| Orienteering race (NOL 12) 1:16:30 [5] 6.3 km (12:09 / km) +240m 10:12 / km | |
| shoes: Jalas - new |
| I'm not exactly the biggest fan of this map (but by the sounds of it not many people are!!), always seem to stuff up in the same place and have memories of punchering my shin in 04.
Took it very cautiously to 1 just to get into the swing of lifting my legs over piles of everything. 4 was in the area which I seem to stuff up and did (not too bad thou), I think I must have been a bit to the east of the control but managed to relocate quickly. Anna S caught me at 5 and ran with her until 8. Started to tire on the way to 9, and was rather slow on the last loop. |

|
| Orienteering race (NOL 11) 34:48 [5] 4.7 km (7:24 / km) +180m 6:13 / km | |
| shoes: Jalas - new |
| Was fairly happy with this run, given my lack of orienteering motivation and focus over the past 2 weeks. Started off slowly, struggled to lift my legs over anything. Lost a bit of time at 17, was a bit north and then lost a bit of time on 20, was way too low, ended up relocating off 21 (could see it in the distance). |

| Running 1:00:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 13 |
| Managed to get an hour run in before the training course. Headed back into Nelson Bay and then into Tomaree National Park, ran up Glover Hill (???) and then along some bush tracks. Great morning for a run. |
Tuesday May 15 |
| Running 52:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 13 |
| Morning run at foggy Shoal Bay. From our accom out to Tomaree headland (just a guess at the name) and then along some random track up the hill, legs were quite sore from Sunday. Didn't exactly bring the right running gear - was quite warm and humid |
Monday May 14 |

| Too sore and tired today, plus spending the afternoon travelling to Port Stephens for a 4 day training course..... 'Aboriginal Sites Identification and Conservation'.... should be interesting..... |

| ahr:174 max:202 shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 13 |
| This year hurt a lot more than last year!! Was 24 seconds slower as well, bugger!! Felt really good for the first 10km and was running to schedule, however from then on could feel myself getting progressively slower.
Was hanging out for the drinks at 16km which helped for a bit, passed Dad going the opposite way, he was looking quite comfortable. By the 19km I was gone, started to feel tingley (is that a word?), luckly I'd stashed a water tubey thing in my bra and it got me through the rest.

| Running 1:00:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus |
| Managed to take all my running gear to work today. Nice run along the Murrumbidgee River (or lack there of) and was feeling really good. However there seemed to be a number of random people out so not sure if I'll be doing that run in the future (especially by myself), given it's getting dark early. |

| Not exactly my idea of a rest day. Had to go to Sydney for work, which meant getting up at 5am..... long day! |

| Had planned on doing a nice flat run along the River after work.... however once at the river I realised that I'd forgotten my shoes. Came home and did my Willans run, felt better than I thought I would |
Monday May 7 |
| Running (Recovery) 30:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 13 |
| Sore and tired this morning, struggled walking up the stairs at work!! First day as an RTA employee and spent it filling out forms.
Went to the track to have a chat to Mark. Did a couple of easy laps around Jubilee playing fields and then lots of stretching. |
Sunday May 6 |
| Orienteering race (NOL 10) 1:28:45 [5] 10.4 km (8:32 / km) +370m 7:15 / km | |
| shoes: Jalas - new |
| Most of this race was run to the tune of 'Eternal Flame' thanks to Dave and Ezy.
Felt pretty good physically for most of the race, however my navigation (and confindence) let me down again. Left #5 at a weird angle and ended up on a random track took 2mins to relocate. Was too high for #11 and then lost another 2mins at #16. Enjoyable course thou. |
Saturday May 5 |
| Orienteering race (NOL 8 - Sprint) 20:04 [5] 2.9 km (6:55 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Kayano 13 |
| A good area for a sprint, lots of thinking involved as well. Took a couples of controls to get into the map and where I could or couldn't go. Felt ok running wise, but slowed big time by the finish. In the end I was pretty happy with my result. |
| Orienteering race (NOL 9) 39:33 [5] 4.5 km (8:47 / km) +180m 7:19 / km | |
| shoes: Jalas - new |
| Well this race was a bit of a mess. Legs and brain took a while to kick in after the morning race. Took to first couple of controls slowly to try and get used to reading the details but never really felt confident. Great area thou. |
