(injured) shoes: X-Talons 190 (red)
warm up to the start of the training
Orienteering 50:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: X-Talons 190 (red)
did a head to head middle training session...had 2 middle loops. I went with Imogene and we did opposite loops...it was in all the felled tree part near potluck...i was pretty useless at running through all of it, and funny niggles started to flair up a bit :/ navigation was ok...bit average in places though...
Running 26:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: X-Talons 190 (red)
just went for a jog around the sand dunes and did a bit of map reading and the last 2 controls of the 2nd training...ran out to the beach and checked it out too :P
Didn't want to do the next training, as I felt like the first one was enough for me, and I was not keen to go back into the crap stuff...my body was a lot more happy with me running on some even ground :)

Running warm up/down 30:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Asics GT 2170
14min warm up and 16min warm down...
when i started running today, my legs just felt so tight, but not like i need to stretch them, it felt like they were expanding :/ was quite hard to get them moving for a while...also had a really really loud water belly which was so annoying! so overall not the greatest feeling today training :S

Running intervals 14:00 [5]
(injured) shoes: Asics GT 2170
10x30sec hill reps with 1min recovery back down the hill...was so tough! Have realised im a lot less strong and fast as i was last time i did them on the mt eden track...when i was at home, i did 30sec with 90sec recoveries so this was a bit tougher, and a bit steeper...wasn't too bad though when doing them despite all the other factors :/

oh wow...so i took rather long on this course today :P
It was out at Waiuku, and the boys somehow convinced me to do the long one...i really should have done the shorter one, it was just really physical, and after a long training yesterday, i really struggled...to make matters worse, i made huge mistakes too which was so silly...the map was rather dodgy which put me off a lot!!
towards the end i was just walking quite a bit which was bad :/ although was determined to actually finish unlike a lazy bum i will not mention the name of :P

Did a Long training out at Woodhill...
was really fun :) made a few silly mistakes, but nothing too major... got quite tired on the last loop...so was rather slow :P
We had a loops bit in the tricky mushroom road part, and I always stuff this area up...so i told myself to concentrate and slow down if i have to and it worked...there were a few hesitations, but nothing too silly :)
Overall fun session! Haven't done one like this in such a long time!! Was soooo smashed after!! :P
Oh and Greg is awesome for putting out TP controls before we ran :D

Running 1:05:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Asics GT 2170
went for a run with Duncan and James...went through the Domain and some parks...Blisters were blimmin sore, but could sort of run through which was good...although part way through my feet went a bit run because i was running different because of the blisters and i think i tied my shoes a bit too tight :/ it actually felt soo weird and kind of painful, so I was quite slow for the others in the end :/ Also James took us through Newmarket park to explore...turns out they havnt finished it, and we went through so much mud!! My shoes felt like bricks afterwards and the mud wouldnt come off...good strength training i guess :P worst thing was is that my new running shoes are no longer shiny white!! :(
despite all the weird pains, felt alright physically...wish I could have run same pace at the end tho :/

started off running to no. 1, but i just couldnt, so i jogged downhills and some flat and had to walk up hills...it hurt so blimmin much!!
So I decided to cut a huge part of the middle of the course out and just jog/walk it just to get some orienteering in...but the blisters were screaming at me just a bit :/ dammit!

Tried to run without the orthotics today to see how the legs were...they obviously were still sore from the last wk...but they didnt get worse and wernt too bad..so maybe it is the change in mechanics or whatever...maybe i should gradually get used to them :P oops...hope legs feel better soon...they still quite tender, esp on the down hills...
went up and around mt eden...then through epsom campus and around kate shephard park, then round the streets...back around the tracks on mt eden and a loop on the tracks at the bottom and home...such a beautiful day!

(injured) shoes: Asics NImbus - turquoise
tried to take it really easy on a run...felt much better and was beginning to feel ok to run...stretched once i got to the domain...but then about 20-25min through, both legs started feeling really sore and quite strained...i kept getting slower and slower...it hurt quite a bit :/
Now that both legs are sore, I sort of feel like it could be my orthotics...guess its changing how my legs are working...hmm...what to do...I will talk to my podiatrist about it :P its annoying coz the foot is feeling awesome with the orthotics, but not the legs :/

fml...tried to go out the door, but quad must be a little strained from the other day at the summer series...i didnt even run fast? may have been when i twisted my ankle...may have pulled something funny?... it just hurt too much, so went back inside all depressed :( was supposed to do a long run...i am sick of resting...maybe something is telling me to not run? maybe i should have a year off oing and running or something...i just dont know anymore...grr
