Tag teaming running and child care this morning. I ran second. It was 8:15 and it was already 25oC when I started. It certainly felt like more by the end!

It's cooler today but i still boiled.

Mattie decided this morning that he wanted to run to daycare too...in his crocs. He actually did really well and ran about 3/4 of the way.. with a few pauses. I asked him if he liked running and he said "yes I want to be like you guys". too cute :-)

shoes: Altra Escalante

Alex has been away for a week and I was starting to get cabin fever so booked the boys into kids club :-) Sadly they only had a 90 month slot free and we were 20 mins late. But it was awesome anyway. I still don’t like treadmill running but it’s better than not running! :-D

Mattie's 400m round the track non-stop! Really impressed with him that he ran all the way round on his first attempt. There was a dinosaur medal at stake though! He absolutely loved it.

Short run to get cards then a cheeky extension on the way home. Handy to have Ian and Nicola visiting so I can get out on my own on a day when the boys aren’t in nursery!

Short run in the Fells. Loved getting out to the fells, it’s too long since I was last there. Not much time and would have loved to run longer, but most definitely better than nothing!

Jamaica Pond park run!

Really fun to try out a new park run and Nicola and I got to run on our own as alex looked after the boys and Ian pushed Jessica. Ian just pipped me but I didn’t have the legs for anything else. We won’t be going every week as it’s a bit of a mission getting there but will definitely go every so often.

9 AM

Running 8:00 [1] 0.75 km (10:39 / km) +21m 9:21 / km
shoes: inov-8 x-talon 212 standard

Boston sprint camp bracket sprint at Jamaica pond. to the start, mostly pushing Mattie on his bike when he decided after 200m that his legs were too tired to cycle. It’s like doing prowler. By the time we made it to the start my hamstrings were killing me!

Orienteering 5:25 [4] 1.16 km (4:41 / km) +12m 4:27 / km
shoes: inov-8 x-talon 212 standard

JP prologue
I’ve never done one of these before and didn’t hear the instructions so didn’t have any plan for tactics at all. Between juggling children we rocked up and ran almost straight away. I was slow!

Running 9:56 [1] 0.55 km (17:56 / km)
shoes: inov-8 x-talon 212 standard

Around Mattie’s “course” with him. He ran loads!

Orienteering 5:50 [1] 1.0 km (5:50 / km) +8m 5:37 / km
shoes: inov-8 x-talon 212 standard

JP heat 1
Easy orienteering and fast running. Tried hard but not a hope of getting the two guys

Orienteering 6:19 [4] 0.95 km (6:37 / km) +8m 6:21 / km
shoes: inov-8 x-talon 212 standard

JP heat 2
This one was really fun. Still with Keegan and the other lad at the end of the first tricky bit but then they flew away when the easy running started.

Orienteering 6:26 [4] 1.06 km (6:03 / km)
shoes: inov-8 x-talon 212 standard

JP heat 3
On my own out front the whole way. It’s funny how the brackets work. The first two I had no hope of getting in the top two, whereas this one I’d have had to really mess it up not to.

12 PM

Orienteering 5:13 [4] 1.0 km (5:13 / km)
shoes: inov-8 x-talon 212 standard

JP heat 4. This was super fun. Fast running with Tyra, Izzy and Kristin right behind me keeping me on my toes. Just stayed ahead for the win but suspect Tyra could have passed me if she’d wanted to.
I thought this was going to mean I went up to heat D but hadn’t realised I was already stuck in the bottom half after heat 1. My times in heats 3 and 4 were easily good enough for higher, but I wa slow at the start where the bag was easy and I hadn’t warmed up. Even though I now (sort of) understand how it works I’m not sure I would have had the legs for anything different!
My watch stopped recording gps part way through this and didn’t record the last one at all. No idea why!

Orienteering 5:24 [4] 1.0 km (5:24 / km)
shoes: inov-8 x-talon 212 standard

JP heat 5.
The first butterfly wing was fine. The second one I turned my ankle running down to the one on the flood light, hobbled and got stuck in a load of brambles, losing at least 10s. Looking at peoples trails it looks like going to the right of the line is faster but you can’t really tell that from the map. Tyra was way (18s) ahead coming out of the butterfly and the gap stayed pretty similar to the end.
Heats 2,3 and 4 were definitely my favourites. I think this was just one too many for my tired body! Great to see Tyra running well and fun to meet some more orienteers :-)

Thanks to alex and ed, it was a really fun day and the kids enjoyed it too!

Running 29:15 [3] 2.82 km (10:23 / km) +3m 10:19 / km
shoes: Altra Escalante

Home to fresh pond. First slow and stop/start as Mattie was on his bike. They he got tired so hopped in the buggy with Ali. Then I was just slow as they’re heavy and I’m tired!

Orienteering 13:20 [4] 2.34 km (5:42 / km) +11m 5:34 / km
shoes: inov-8 x-talon 212 standard

Sprint race - fun! Felt pretty ropey when we got there but peeled up once I had a map in my hand. Took a while to leave as Mattie had lost his stick. It’s tough being 3.

Between the two boys I got 4.5 hours sleep last night :-( They seem to have an auto detect for when I have an important meeting the next day.
Dropped them at daycare then the short Danehy loop again. Need to try to activate my brain.
