| shoes: New Balance |
| Happy that I was able to improve about 20sec on my last run, even if I was sick then, but I haven't really been training a lot recently since i've been sick. Also felt good and not to hard with no one to run against but myself. |

| Running race (Zone Athletics Carnival) 2:27 [3]0.8 km (3:04 / km) | |
| shoes: Spikes |
| Was sort of happy with this run since i've been sick for the past 2 weeks, First 3 sort of smashed me 1st was, 2:13 and 2nd and 3rd were 2:16. It seems like we have all the good people in our zone. |
| Running (Zone Athletics Carnival) 1:00 [3]0.4 km (2:30 / km) | |

| Ran about a 3 sec pb, so i'm happy with that, came 2nd. The guy that won broke the record and ran 53, |
| Running race (Zone Athletics Carnival) 6:12 [2]1.5 km (4:08 / km) vdot: 42.8 | |
| shoes: New Balance |
| Took this real easy because only 2 people turned up for it in my age and my legs were pretty tight from the 400m which was the event straight before. This turned out to be my last event for the day because I decided not to go in the 3000m because I didn't really want to do it at regionals and it is sooo boring on track. |
| Running (To Kung Fu) 10:00 [3]1.78 km (5:37 / km) | |
| shoes: New Balance |
| Didn't feel real good running down some of the big hill on the way down, cause my feet were hurting a bit, took it alot slower then normally even though I don't take it too fast usually anyway |
| Kung Fu 1:00:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Spikes |

| Basketball 35:00 [3] | |
| shoes: New Balance |
| Won the game. It was a bit annoying though becuase our game was 5min shorter then it is normally because someone injured themselves in the game before and was on the court for ages. Feel a bit duped that they only took 6 min off that game which the score was already obvious in and was running real late. Refs were pretty awful, probably cause we sort of knew them and they were tring to be funny or something, i don't know. |

| Felt really weird playing cause I was really tired after setting my alarm to 5:30. Even though i didn't (couldn't, hehe) get up then it did disrupt my sleeping a fair bit. Our team scored 14 3 pointers. One of our guys was going off, not sure if he missed, he got 7, another got 6, and one of our big guys got another. Still lost though because the team we were versing was pretty awesome. |

| Running race (Regoinal Cross Country) 24:50 [4]6 km (4:08 / km) +100m 3:49 / km | |
| (sick) shoes: New Balance |
| A bit disappointed with this one in that I have been sick for a week and was sick today as well. Came 8th meaning i'm 2nd reserve. The person who came one in front of me beat me by less 50m. I know him cause he lives here in Armidale and does Cross Country on Wednesdays when I do and the last time we both did the 5km course I nearly beat him by 2min. Maybe he wasn't giving it his all then, he's improve alot quickly or me being sick all week disadvantaged me alot, maybe a mix of all three. Didn't really feel like I was really running well until the last 1 and a bit km downhill which I decided to just see if I could catch 8th (I was in 10th) who was about 100-200m ahead of me give or take. Got him and had to sprint a bit at the end to make sure he couldn't get me. The winner ran 20:37 and I think he may have one nationals last yeah or something. Ran 12:09 first 3km. |

| Started doing my Warm Up on and off starting 2 houts before. I was trying to get stuff out of my throut by doing some sprints and stuff. Slightly successful, but made my mouth really dry and didn't quite get it all out. I think I may have tired myself out a bit because my legs were a bit tired when I started running the course. Maybe not used to it after a week of basically nothing. |

| Did 3x2laps with 2 fast runs/nearly sprints per lap, Not sure of the splits for each one cause I kept messing up my timing. My recoveries were about 1-3min not absolutely sure though. My lengths for each 'sprint' were about 100m but on my last 2 laps I increased the fast parts, therefore also decreasing my rest. Felt Good. |

| Running long (Tempo) 1:13:15 [5]12.5 km (5:52 / km) | |
| slept:3.5 shoes: New Balance |
| Kelly's Plains. Ran out the first 6.25km in 29:15 but then had to change the tempo's I was sort of doing on the way out, which was a jog then run hard between two distinctive objects to a walk then run, because I was sort of dizzy and not feeling to good. My first thought was dehydration because I hadn't had much to drink and I'd just had some hot chips beforehand which didn't help, but then it was probably partly more tiredness from my lack of sleep last night. Was intensity 5 because of how I feeling, didn't really have a lot to do with the amount of effort I put in, because I didn't put in a lot for fear of getting injured, etc, cause of sore muscles and dizziness |

| Having another rest day today because I had eistedford. It was the compositions section in which I came equal first with two other. Yeah shock to me too. I was heaps surprised cause there was an awesome pianist piece and clarinet, piano piece which I drew with. I was able to beat one of my friends who is a heaps good all round musician. I don't know how this happened cause I didn't think my piece was that good after hearing the one before me. Big Shock, but cool I spose. |

| Running (Cross Country) 19:18 [4]5 km (3:52 / km) | |
| shoes: New Balance |
| I was pleased with this pb, cause it shows my training is paying off and that I can improve even when the conditions aren't perfect (the ground was a bit slippery from recent rains). I am looking forward to how much I improve in two weeks time, because next week I am only going to do a shorter run because I will be tapering off for regional cross country on friday. I was feeling slightly dizzy at the end of this run, proberly from lack of water or food throughout the rest of today. |

| Lost by just a couple of points I think but not really sure how much cause with about 45sec to go I got a good head butt in the nose which made it bleed like crazy so I didn't really get to pay much attation to the game after that, partly cause I couldn't see to much with the amount of tissues. Some people were wondering if it was broken cause of the amount of blood but I don't think it is cause it isn't crooked, bit swollen though. Still really sore and only just stopped bleeding. I think the intensity at the end was about 5 but not for the rest of the game. |

| 11c shoes: $40 O'Shoes |
| This Long Red Course was made up of the Short and Micro Red Courses with a map change in the middle. I was really happy with how I was going for the Short Red (4.5km, 145m climb) and I got to the map change in 35min but I really didn't quite get many great in the Micro (2km, 80m climb), which shows with my slower time for that part. I started off going to #11 cause I only read one of the 1's on the map but realised when I'd pretty much made it there, this cost me a couple of minutes and I didn't get much better over running some and getting confused on #9. Even with my mistakes I think I still may have had the fastest time, not sure though and I was happy with the way I was running. |

| 11c shoes: $40 O'Shoes |
| Really Disappointing after my good start. I think I just lost a lot of my momentum and maybe also it was a bit more technical and maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind with some of my stupid mistakes. |
