Cycling 2:46:43 [3] 73.3 km (2:16 / km)
am: Thought I would try something different today instead of riding all the way out to Guildford into the teeth of a howling easterly, so I tried out a ride past the city, through Vic Park, and then Curtin Uni, Shelley, Canning R, Applecross and around the river via Fremantle.
It was a real slog into the wind along Mounts Bay and the South Perth foreshore and I'd almost had enough by this stage (I HATE the easterly). That sort of set the tone for the whole ride - too stuffed from pushing hard into the wind to really get much out of going with the wind. Best part of the ride was whizzing past some road cycling types going up Fraser Rd in Applecross :-) Paid for that excess later on though. Ran into a brick wall going up that longish climb on The Esplanade into the wind and was in survival mode for the rest of the ride (last 12k or so). Mount Rokeby seemed awfully big today.

Cycling 1:00:10 [3] 23.9 km (2:31 / km)
am: An exploratory ride. To the railway, into the city, through Northbridge and then out along the Midland line. Finally figured out a good way through Northbridge. Railway line to Midland is not as nice as the river, but may be useful if I want to travel farther afield.
Changed the batteries on the bike computer - it was playing up a bit so the distance may not be accurate.

Running 39:58 [3]
pm: Ran through Kings Pk to Hale Oval to do some intervals of faster running. Did about 3k on the 'oval', finishing with a couple of 500s (1:56, 1:58). Unfortunately the right groin started to tighten up a little at this point and gradually got worse on the run home...bugger. Wasn't too bad, but not great either. Haven't had any trouble with it for a couple of months and I thought I'd put it behind me. Looks like I'll have to be careful again and hope that it doesn't get any worse, otherwise it'll be no running for a couple of weeks.
Gym 51:00 [2]
weight:74.2kg
pm: Went straight to the gym after the run ... and struggled through. It's so much harder doing it straight off a run.
Weight loss is going gang busters, but unfortunately it's prob all coming off my shoulders judging by how weak I was on the upper body stuff. Obviously reverting back to the classic distance runner physique :-)

am: Easy ride in Kings Pk.

Running 36:24 [3]
am: a run through Shenton Pk and around Kings Pk.
Had a 'Rocky' moment (sans musical fanfare) when I ran up the small hill past the spot where I snapped my flexor tendon last Nov :-) First time I've run there since the day. Its taken nearly a year, but I'm finally just about back to running normally. Still slow and unco ... getting better with each run though.
