Easter day 1. Not a lot of improvement in the decrepit leg after yesterday but didn't seem worse. Running actually seems a bit easier than walking on it although it takes a little while to warm up and pushing the shin through thin branches was painful. Didn't really warmup a lot apart from the hike to the start and took the first few very steadily, silly mistake at 2 mis-reading the description and going to the wrong side of the boulder. Going into 6 thought I might be drifting low but was in fact a bit high and not in the gully. From there was navigating well, although couldn't keep up with muzza and ian anderson who caught me around 7 once we went into the tougher terrain towards 12. Overall this could have been a little better but was happy with the navigation.

Event: Orienteering Easter twenty10 Carnival
 

Still very sore in the leg, but it doesn't seem to get worse with running so took a couple of voltarens before the start. Wasn't moving very fast, jules went past at no 5. Was going fairly well but somehow got on the wrong side of the building at 12 - just lost touch with the map somehow and lost maybe 2 mins going round the wrong way. Lost another 20s or so taking a long way round at 18. Was happy to have got round, tomorrow will be a bit more testing.
Thought the courses were good, hope we get to use the map again sometime.

Decided that I'd better see if I could run or not so went to Bilbys after work. Usual smallish Thursday crowd along with Jim who is staying at Danielle and Gaz's place. Ok on the warm up and run-throughs. Just did a short set of 2x800, 2x400 at a bit over 4 min km pace. Mechanically felt everything was fine but the decreptitude region was quite sore. Big lap with jim to warm down, then came home and had a couple of shannon sweets.

Another rest day, shin still really sore. Little Hoggster had to investigate as I was hobbling around at the rego-bag packing session and declared it to be decrepit, or something like that. The recommended treatment is to coat it in voltaren gel and then gladwrap it

Ankle still a bit swollen so will rest it a bit more
