Sunday Nov 18

Running 32:16 [3]6.5 km (4:58 / km)
am: Fairly easy run in Kings Pk. Good to be able to turn the legs over. I did the flattest run I could and took it easy in the first 15min. No problems with the hip, although I can feel that its not quite right. I'll get an assessment tomorrow.

Saturday Nov 17

Gym 1:02:00 [2]
weight:75.8kg
am: Usual gym session except for the step-downs. Still sore from Monday's effort but much improved since Thurs.
Core stability 42:00 [1]
pm: Usual core stability stuff

Friday Nov 16

Note
(injured)
No run today. I'll have to get this hip problem sorted. Last time it was 3 months before I was running properly again. Even though I'm still running OK without pain or discomfort most of the time, I know from past experience that it can quickly get to the point where you can't run a step without pain. Once it gets to that stage you're really stuffed.
Spinning 20:00 [1]
pm: A little something to keep the system ticking over without putting too much load on the hip.

Thursday Nov 15

Running 37:25 [3]7.8 km (4:48 / km)
am: Another short run to test the hip. This time not so good :-( It was fine for some parts of the run, but felt as though it was close to giving me problems at various times. Then had to stop a couple of hundred metres from the end when it started to hurt... rest day tomorrow.
Gym 45:00 [2]
weight:76kg
pm: Usual gym minus the bike and the squats and other quad exercises (still too damn sore in the quads to contemplate any of that shit). I had to back off on the weights for the leg extension and leg press. Couldn't move the leg press at the normal weight and had to double check that I hadn't accidently set it to a ridiculously heavy weight :--[)
Diet is working a treat.

Wednesday Nov 14

Running 31:02 [3]6.5 km (4:46 / km)
am: Short run in Kings Pk. Was careful and slow at first just in case there was an issue with the hip. Warmed up OK and ran the second half at a good speed. I suspect the problem is muscular and that massage and stretching will probably fix it but will still take it easy for the next few days.
Core stability 41:00 [1]
pm: Core and postural stuff

Tuesday Nov 13

Running 26:00 [1]4 km (6:30 / km)
am: Slow jog around the streets and into Kings Pk to test the hip. Wasn't good, but wasn't bad either. I had the feeling that it was on the verge of giving me grief so I kept it fairly slow. Might test it again tomorrow.
Gym 43:00 [2]
weight:77.1kg
pm: Gym, part 2. No leg extension though. Too sore in the quads!
Diet starts tomorrow. I'm ballooning ... maybe its the heavy food I'm eating :-)
