am: Long run out to Bold Pk and return. Via Kings Pk, Rosalie Pk, Shenton Pk, Shenton bushland and Challenge Stadium. Slow at the beginning and felt like I wasn't properly awake. Thought a few times about turning back once I got to Bold Pk, but kept plugging away and eventually got into a steady rhythm and ran the hills in Bold Pk reasonably well. Became tired towards the end and the old left ankle problem started to play up so I left out the bonus lap of the local park that I usually add on to get the time up to 2hrs.

am: Recovery run in Kings Pk. Waddled around for the first half and eventually got going.

md: Usual stuff at SportsMed Subi

am: Through Shenton and around Kings Pk. Sore in the right VMO. Stopped a couple of times to massage it but that didn't seem to help. Was looking like I'd have to pull the pin and head slowly home when all of a sudden after about 25min it loosened up and was fine for the rest of the run ?!?!
I tried out a new pair of shoes today - with forefoot gel. Hopefully they'll help the forefoot soreness I've had on and off for the last 6 months or so. Managed to get them in a 4E fitting, which seems to be a must these days.

C • Good work 2

pm: Turning the pedals again

am: 10k variation of the usual Shenton and kings Pk loop. Legs were a bit tired this morning

pm: At SportsMed Subi. Noticed some soreness in the quads. Only did 2 sets of single-legs squats instead of 3.

am: Usual loop through Shenton and around Kings Pk. Still sore from the fun run, but I've now improved to the stage that it doesn't affect my running

pm: Usual stuff

am: Another recovery run. Still damn sore but I warmed up a bit better this morning. Noticed some soreness at the top of the tibia after I finished. Didn't bother me during the run, but it was quite sore after I stretched. Noticed it on Saturday as well. Hope it's not the begining of some nasty problem.

pm: Usual stuff at SportsMed Subi. Not too bad. No soreness in the quads and glutes. Only in the muscles I'm not specifically trying to strengthen. Must be time to expand my range of exercises. Maybe something for the calves :-)

am: Recovery run in Kings Pk. Slow at first. Sore in calves and adductors despite plenty of stretching last night. Good thing is the glutes and quads are (apparently) OK.
