| Mostly walked my first W21A course, carefully balancing my enormous mucus-filled head on my neck. Luckily it didn't fall off because i never would have found it in the chest-high thick prickles that covered most of the map. Glad i wasn't trying to race it, i don't think running would have been any faster, and would only have been incredibly frustrating. As it was i quite enjoyed my potter in the sunshine, and didn't make any real errors. The course was 6.5km and i did 7.9, but most of that was avoiding green rather than being lost.
I used attackpoints today, for the first time. As opposed to using Attackpoint, which i have done for 6months now but is quite different. Also i read the contours properly and hardly used my compass except to check general directions (to avoid my contouring-all-the-way-around-the-hill trick from last time). So it was a useful run, if a bit prickly.

| Ur yuck. I can't even say, oh, at least i got that assignment finished, because i slept all day and didn't start it until 4. But i did do some long-anticipated bike fixing which is a Good Thing. |

| With ngaire, mark and joel. Had a lovely lunch in the sunshine at the Jarrahdale general store (which makes great food! Will have to keep that in mind) and then did a long loop at langford park at chatting pace. Good fun, especially since i was all mucussy and not in the mood for anything harder. |
| Run 50:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Feet |
| Not in the mood for fartlek so jogged from home up and down the grass strips to the beach. 30min there. Plus all the circling in the beach session (which i tried to run properly but not hard) and a cool down after. |

| Usual stuff. Felt crappy but luckily john had killed everyone with the fartlek session so i still caught them in the cardio bit |

| Hard to get going today. Dog played chicken with my foot for a while and then systematically ate most of a rubber ball. Mmm nutritious.
10min warmup
3 x (5min hard 5min harder 5min easy)
10min cooldown including 3 sets of single leg drills. Right leg is so uncoordinated! Left leg feeling smug.

| Faster than usual, partly due to the new moving parts on my roadie, and partly because of the commuter on my tail. I caught and passed tRicky again today. It was pretty easy because he was going the other way. |

| To running. Nice easy ride until i realised that the pool is further away than home, and that i had gone the long way accidentally. Easily caught and passed Evo, who was going so slow that it looked like he was riding in the opposite direction to me. |

| Painful run 20m behind John, Stu and the dog. Lots of hills (thanks john!) and soooo cold. Got trapped in the hot shower afterwards hoping alan carpenter wouldn't find out. |

| Slept horribly for some reason. Rode to the bike shop, got a flat with 1.5km to go and decided to ignore it. While they are tut-tutting at my bike maintenance (couldn't find track pump or chain lube this morning so it looks particularly unloved) they can also tut tut at (and hopefully fix) the flat and any dents in the rims. Stupid bike. Left it locked up outside runners world so hopefully someone will steal it and leave their cervelo behind. |

| the bike guy said "i hope all that dirt wasn't holding your bike together" haha. Bike guys are always so funny. He sabotaged my bike too, and didn't warn me. When i put the brakes on, the bike stopped, all of a sudden. Stopped briefly and scarily balanced on its front wheel, before deciding not to kill me after all. I was a bit careful after that. The wheels go round a bit better now too, and the chain doesn't stick to the jockey wheels. |

Didn't have a watch so i had to run with Liz, except once when Brian came up behind me making such frightening noises that i managed a big finish sprint. |

| slept:8.0 (rest day) |
| Luckily had a long work day today so even if i could have moved, i wouldn't have had time to train. Hands and wrists are so sore i couldn't brush my hair or use a pen, and everything is aching. I guess it was quite a high impact day. For me it was worth it but john didn't make it to swimming which i guess was the icing on top of a day he already didn't much enjoy. Will have to remember that in future when applying pressure... |
