Orienteering (ESOA Kids Training) 1:00:00 [1]*
slept:8.5 shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco
Jogging around with a pair doing TD2 training. Easiest coaching session to do yet (as we had a very good adult / kid ratio).
Sudden cold snap upon us now.. glad i brought my gloves.
Run 35:00 [2]
shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco
Home from kids training at MES.
Left the road to go down a path to join the roseburn path, but didnt think to switch my head torch on. Tripped up on sudden large bump in the pavement. Stubbed my L big toe really hard then fell ripping my elbow open and tearing my good Gore top in bits .....grrrr.
Endorphines must have helped get me the rest of the way home without tooooo much pain, cos 'man' did my toe start to hurt once i cooled down inside afterwards.
Wife's parents arived in town today and insited on taking us out for dinner. The walk from the flat to stockbridge was'nae pleasant.

Wednesday Dec 12

Run hills 15:00 [3]
slept:7.0
Run from home to work, bag on back, up that looooong drag of a hill.
Cycle 35:00 [3]
15 mins from work to O-training at MES
20 mins after drinks to the flat.
Orienteering ('Forest' Loop) 20:00 [2]**
Jogged around with Les and Crawford. Tried to sit back, collect tick off features as we went, and let them navigate.
Orienteering ('Urban' Loop) 7:20 [4]**
shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco
Belted it around the loop i'd planned around / through the 'labrynth' of Mary Erskine School Buildings.

Realised that i can travel much faster up flights of stairs than down them.
Practiced planning my routes so as to have smooth run through entry to exit of control sites. Sharp changes of direction avoided where possible seemed to help keeping speed up.

There was was a parent teacher night or some semi formal gathering going on and we got a few surprised looks from people walking about the campus.

The last official weekly training sesion until the new year.

Nice to relax for a few scoops with a few folk afterwards. Think we need more of that (social interaction that is).

Tuesday Dec 11

Core: Stability/Balance 30:00 [3]
Short AM session in the gym.
Not very high reps as the lack of recent consistent training fitness shows through.
made sure to get some 'wobbling' in though
Note
slept:6.5
Planned to cycle a bit in the evening after work but my bike lock key broke in the lock .... doh..
All i could do was walk home. grrrr
