Wednesday Apr 2 |
| GA run (7am) 1:06:00 [3] 12 km (5:30 / km) | |
| slept:7.5 shoes: Nike Air Zoom Elite 2 |
| Weather: mild, overcast
P/line plod. Legs felt tired (but not sore) from yesterday. Had a couple of walks now and then so I didn't stuff myself. Managed to stack it when I rolled my ankle with about 2.5km to go - bloody hurt and I was so glad I was wearing capri pants and the gravel was wet because otherwise my leg and hands would have been a real mess. Limped home....then got attacked by a wasp when trying to stretch at the car.... then found two leeches trying to get ahold on my back when I got home - what a morning! |
Tuesday Apr 1 |
| Run hills (7am) 50:00 [5] | |
| slept:8.0 shoes: Nike Air Zoom Elite 2 |
| Weather: cool, clear
10 mins warm up, 6 x strides across Waimea oval then 15 x 30s hills up Churchill Ave hill (to the back of a car between green box and next driveway), with jog down recoveries. Felt good - first few were OK, second five were getting harder by the top and the last five were getting harder closer to the bottom. Pleased I was able to keep the same time for all 15 and didn't feel absolutely stuffed afterwards (lthough walked the hills on the jog home!). |

Easy recovery jog along SBR & Nutgrove. Legs felt like they had no energy, especially up any rises. Bit of L hip bursitis to start with. Walked up Fisher Ave. |
