8 AM

Trail Run 2:43:00 [3] 18.06 km (9:02 / km) +353m 8:13 / km
ahr:143 shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 (bl/orng)

Goldfields Track, Castlemaine. Group run organised by Julie. Spent most of the time off the back of the group watching the HR screen and trying not to fall too far behind. Worked in my favour when they all overshot the turnoff at 4km in. :-)

My back started to ache badly at about the 9km mark, and a short time later I split from the group and cut off the upper part of the loop. I had just got onto my target road when they came up behind me, so that worked really well. Then an endless 4km slog in a rapidly-heating morning back to Castlemaine.

Drugs and lunch at Saffs before heading back to Bendigo on the train. Sixty four hours recovery time. Thought I'd turned that off - apparently not; it's just going to tell me every time, isn't it.

9 AM

Achieve It (powerflex) 1:00:00 [3] 1.5 km (40:00 / km)
shoes: ASICS Super J33 (yellow/pink)

The start of a stinking hot day. I was the only one silly enough to jog a lap.

6 AM

Trail Run 1:19:51 [3] 10.13 km (7:53 / km) +99m 7:31 / km
ahr:140 shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212 (bl/orng)

Wildflower Drive. 6:30am, in lieu of another boxkick session. First proper run for the new Garmin. Had the screen on heart rate - I was staying in Zone 4 (and walking when it went over), but these numbers seem really low. Is this old age? 73 hours recovery time. Good Lord.

ETA: I have now turned the recovery indicator thingie off. There are just some things you don't need to know.

7 AM

Street Run 28:00 [3] 4.0 km (7:00 / km)
shoes: ASICS Lyte 33 (blue)

New Garmin. Same old body. My 4km route is still exactly 4km (the watch vibrated at me as I walked around the corner). It appears that I need to mentally recalibrate my heart rate calculations though - I may pretend to myself that I am still young(ish), but the watch quite bluntly told me that I am an overweight middle-aged woman, and that 140 - 150 bpm is quite sufficient. And that I need 26 hours recovery time. WTF?!

9 AM

Achieve It (boxkick) 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: ASICS Super J33 (yellow/pink)

Wore the watch, but didn't have it recording. Heartrate stayed moderate, although the session was hard work. 12,227 steps all up.
Figured out what one of the screens was showing me - the weather! Cos, you know, I can't figure that out for myself by sticking my head out.

6 AM

Achieve It (time trial) 29:40 [3] 5.0 km (5:56 / km)
shoes: ASICS Electro 33 (pink)

God, I am so unfit. Needed several walking breaks. I didn't feel particularly out of breath, but the new Garmin (shipped this morning :-)) has a HRM, so maybe time to play with heart rate training again.

Achieve It 30:00 [3]
shoes: ASICS Electro 33 (pink)

Warm up/down, etc.

Note

Stats for the statisticians: 1365 km for the year, which is about average. Only 63.4 of those were orienteering (must do more!). Trail runs accounted for 25%, and the rest were street runs and Step Into Life cardio sessions.
SIL session count = 233. An average of 4.5 per week, including the Tuesday boxkick classes that I've been running since April.

7 AM

Street Run 27:00 [3] 4.2 km (6:26 / km)
shoes: ASICS Lyte 33 (blue)

Elmo.

9 AM

Achieve It (instructing) 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: ASICS Super J33 (yellow/pink)

Not too hot, not too cold. And 14,758 steps in the bank by lunchtime.

Note

Ordered a FR235 on sale at JB Hi-Fi. The 610 behaved itself this morning (scared straight!), but I reckon every 6 years is a good upgrade schedule.

8 AM

Street Run 27:00 [3] 4.1 km (6:35 / km)
shoes: ASICS Super J33 (yellow/pink)

Elmo. Spent a few minutes wandering around the camping/picnic area down by the river. Totally quiet and deserted apart from the birds and myself. Someone's planted a lemon tree off to the side - good luck with that! although it looks pretty robust.
