| Wanted to start cranking out some longer kayaks now I thought my arms were getting used to it. but arms still buggered from yesterday. Will need to keep chipping away at it consistently a bit longer. i don't want to paddle "jog" with crap technique just to get some time in. Would prefer to paddle "run" properly as long or as short as I can and just build on that. Also I'm due for some kayak racing. Wednesday nights perhaps? |

| Went hard from Panmure basin upstream. Good session. I think this kayaking is real good for bodies failings. The short hammies and sciatic nerve (which is probably contributing to torn calf and chronic archilles problem) is getting a good stretch, the hips are pushed and uncomfortable but that just helps them maintain the range of motion, and the stabilising muscles etc for the dodgy hips are getting a bit of a working over too. |

| In town beside Karyn and Dr Dave in the double. Was pretty slow so easy to do the distance but did a few sprints at the end so still a good work out. |

| First time in single for a while, was obviously not used to it, had to work real hard to stay steady and keep paddling. Felt like I was going real hard and good, but time was going so slow was amazed only half hour cos it felt like 90!. was stuffed but the end. Just went from Shelly beach around the island. |

| hips chronically sore. Worse they have ever been. Hobbling around for the last few days, Looks like i'm limping from my calf but its the right hip thats fucken painful. Every now and then (getting up from siting) something clicks and its absolute agony. happened in bed too and I was couldn't move for about a minute because I was stuck. Got to get calf sorted so I can go running again and get back on top of it. I succumbed and took a antiflamme one of the days. |

| road hard down to Hellensville to pick up my car. Calf muscle instantly sore and swollen afterwards. Gutted, I thought riding would be ok. or maybe I just did too much yesterday with first run and piling on the heel raising exercises. |

| First run since screwing calf. Felt not bad. did a Thistle chipping/running session for about an hour. maybe this stop start technique wasn't best form of running for first session? but gave the pussy run a purpose and some satisfaction. |

| Physio on calf. Can't believe how good it is after 4 days of snow boarding/crashing and some walks. Can start exercising and hard core strengthing now. |

| Since the last post I haven't done much "training". Done about three rides, pulled my calf muscle on one riding with Amber. Didn't realize how bad it was for a few days but since then haven't done any riding. And was quite happy not to do any orienteering or running. |
