Feeling a bit better, and nice to be outside. Went rock climbing at the smoke bluffs with Alison, Pascal and Pascal's friend John (not to be confused with my brother). Thomas sat with us on the rock part of the time too:

Running with Thomas in the evening. He was doing 200's, so I did 400's with short rest so I would start with him. Feeling out of shape, and maybe a bit sick.
1:26 (1:05 rest)
1:24 (1:05 rest)
1:25 (1:06 rest)
1:24 (4:03 longer rest, waited for thomas to do another, and change his shoes)

Warm up, rests, and short warm down

Sore throat, slept a lot hoping to stave off full sickness...

Balance, hops on shuttle, lunges, and thera band stuff at physio

So, I showed up at the CS team soccer game thinking maybe they would need a girl for part of the game (at least 1 female has to be on the pitch). Turns out no other women were there to play... so I played offense the whole time (1hr). To say I was playing soccer may be a bit of a stretch, but I got better when the guys started telling me what to do... and yelling at me to run at people with the ball, or stick annoyingly to the guy on the other team furthest back ;) I had the ball for maybe a total of 10s.

Lunchtime stretching / core

Fast walk to warm up, some silly walks and a tiny bit of jogging to warm down.

1 min on, 1 off. Started slower, the ankle was a bit stiff... but it seemed to loosen up, and it felt good to push a bit (also I think it felt more controlled with better form at higher speed).

C • Hurrah! 2

On the elliptical later (looked at middle distance map for about 10 mins in middle), and a little bit of free weights after while I waited for my face to stop sweating quite so profusely...

Got hr up around 170-180 ish for the last 20 mins.

Pool running with Mike, saw Katie there...

6 times 3 minutes (1 minute rest)

Lots of exercises at the physio

On the elliptical, did 20 minutes then had to let someone else have a go... so did some core/weights, then 20 minutes on the stairmaster, then the elliptical was free again. Looked at a middle relevant map on the elliptical, and a long relevant map on the stairmaster that thomas had drawn some quick courses on.

Good lunch session of stretching and core
