just a sec my timing machine is beeping and wont stop and i can't figure out how to turn it off! ahhh it's going to haunt me forever. anyway. it was raining! i must have looked like some little blue martian with a face and skinny legs sticking out :P ahh my hair is dripping on my keyboard. yepp it was okay..just jogged around the pinnacle. everytime i thought about my running i realised that could go harder and i would for a bit then i'd drift off and think about something else and slip back to the original slow jog. uhuhhh. showertime! | ||

| Running intervals (spaghetti) 16:00 [4] | |
| slept:8.5 shoes: asics something gel something | ||
| spaghetti intervals, thanks to coach josh.
after picking my "flat" road (the hardest bit) i ran along it at varying speeds, for varying times :P i'll just copy the thingo from joshwaaa's hope he doesn't mind: 1.30 recovery jog, 1.30 sprint x 2 1.00 recovery jog, 1.00 sprint x 2 0.45 recovery jog, 0.45 sprint x 2 0.30 recovery jog, 0.30 sprint x 2 0.15 recovery jog, 0.15 sprint x 2 yepp. it was pretty good, now that i'm home i think i should have gone harder. because i feel pretty good. i should be exhausted. blehhh. anyway, i didn't make it back past my starting point :( maybe because i found a hill in the middle of my flat road! so i ran down it on the way there and then i had to run up the hill on the way back. i'll try and find somewhere flatter next time. yep it was fun. | ||

| a set of 4 X 1.2kmish O intervals. set by coach grant :) controlled (dodgily, how embarrassing) by nomi and luke. lol. they were in the wrong spot.
but it was fun. my quads were tired at the start because luke and i ran up the pinnacle while setting. but warmed up quite nicely. and yeah. funn. and then the whole gang ( minus coach grant, sam richard and el lukeo) came for dinner and showers then went to olle's viola recital! they were doing some major rabbit extermination at the pinnacle! big machinery, fluoro pink tape, the works. so there were lots of rabbits just chillin'. as there homes had been squished. and there families killed. luke knows what i'm talking about! but all in all good fun! and a nice day to go with it :) (time includes breaks at the next start) (i think, yes coach grant? otherwise i thought we were going sooo much faster than that) | ||

| Orienteering race (sunday series) 2:05:00 [3] **** 7.4 km (16:54 / km) | |
| shoes: o shoes | ||
| sunday event at badja.
well, it was pretty terrible. well absolutely terrible. number 1 was ok, i was a bit..behind it. humm that doesn't make sense. i went a bit far on the track because it was a bit confuso, so i was to the left of it and came across. but hit it then. number 2. no no no horrificness coming. i dunno. everything should've gone right but it didn't! i went to the boulders and up the gullio but i came into the marsh, and i should've relocated from the fence and trees and such but no! i had to be a sillyhead and not be logical. so basically it was dreadful. in the end i found it but ahhhh. i must have been so brainless and not concentrating to screw it up. gahhh. it took forever! up to number 8 was pretty ok. a little mistake on 4 but noticed quickly and got back on track. thennn! number 8 - 9, i made a silly route choice, well at least i think so. down the hill, along the gullymarshything where i fell in!! so i squeltched along and past number 12 into the saddle past one knoll, two knoll into the gully and down. but i think i should've gone over the top. save the wet feet. mm it was pretty good from there to 16. but then! number 17. it took me foreeever to decide which way to go. and it was all okay up to the track, slowlyyy up the hill though. then i lost focus and got scared by the herd of sheep and drifted off. so i ended up coming around the opposite direction than i intended. and it seemed to take a long time! from there on it was pretty okay as well. yepp. all in all, quite a saga. gahh i just want to go and do it again correctly! | ||

| shoes: asics something gel something | ||
| weston park O, first saturday series.
pretty good, but legs felt first like jelly and then like concrete (because of ballet) and i forgot to slow down coming out of the clearings into the bush so i had to make myself slow down and pinpoint my location. which took a little bit. but running was pretty okay, once i had warmed up. a little bit of stitch, cos i ate straight after ballet and went straight to O. and tested out my steroids. can't tell if they made a difference :P funnnn did some unicyling. | ||

| shoes: asics something gel something | ||
| another 6:30am run, not as cold because of cloud cover. i wore an odd assortment of garments anyway, as i figured no (sane) person would be over there so early.
anyway, i ran from my house, around the pinnacle to the steps side, up the steps side, down the opposite side, back up the same way, rest. down the side 90degrees to the steps, up again, rest. repeat X 6 the rests were about 30seconds, stretch a bit and stop puffffing. rarr so tiring. i need to practise this. oh and coach grant, i got a bit dizzy at the top of the hill. does this mean i should eat something before i go out (a banana and some steroids (blue powerade)?) | ||
