| Running long 1:05:00 [4] | |
| Don't actually know how far this was but it felt pretty slow and it some bits especially near the lake it was reeeally windy which made it harder. A bit more hilly than my last long run which was good I guess, though still fairly flat. Ran down to the lake, to commonwealth bridge and across it and then along the bike path that goes to weston park for a while before turning around and running back.
Had to stop for about ten seconds after 45 mins because my stupid shoulder was hurting heaps again. grr it's soo annoying!! | ||

| Orienteering (Blue Lightning) 30:00 [3] | |
| We had a map with lots of little bits of the main map on it, all scrambled up so that you didn't know which way was north. When you got to a control, you had to find another rectangle with the same control on it, which would be your next leg, and then you had to orientate it just by matching everything up on the ground with the map. All good except for one control where I did a 180 but realised pretty soon. | ||
| Orienteering race (Bruce Ridge) 46:00 [3] 5.6 km (8:13 / km) | |
| Pretty hilly and a bit thick. Fine navigation, just slow. | ||
| Note | |
| Hmm I'm thinking about not going to nationals cross country.. coz it's pretty expensive especially as it's only a few days, and besides, I'll come last or nearly last seeing as ACT is like regionals everywhere else so everyone else will be way better than me. Plus I'll probly miss out on this other camp I was going to go on with school.
Seems like enough reasons to me.. and then I wouldn't feel as bad about wanting to go to this nsw training camp thing. lol soz you probly didn't want to read that but i have to decide by monday and writing it down helped :P | ||

| Running intervals 22:00 [3] | |
| Ran down to oval and did some laps doing the long sides hard and the short sides recovery. Nothing formal or anything but it was dark so I figured I'd just do something on the oval rather than normal laps. Had to slow down on some of the fast bits so as not to trip over what i'm pretty sure were the remains of fireworks from the wkend. lol

| Running 45:00 [3] | |
| dreadful!
absolutely horrible. firstly i had to go by myself coz I was going to go to training but mum forgot to get home from work in time to take me and by the time she called to tell me she'd forgotten it was too late to ride or organise a lift. Sooo i had ran to the bottom of mt ainslie (10 mins) then stretched a bit, then tried to run up as much of mt ainslie as i could, which wasn't all that much and i swear it was twice as big as usual somehow. Then i fiiinally got to the top, (took 12:43 mins) and ran down to the bottom and home (21mins) as i was running i got a stitch - just as i did last time i ran down mt. ainslie! wierd - anyway and then i got to the bottom and kept going until my shoulder muscle that sometimes goes all owwy went all owwy, and the stitch was still there, so i stopped and walked for a little bit to try and stretch it out. So by the time I got home I had decided that I never want to have such a horrible run again. | ||

| Running long 58:37 [5] 11.5 km (5:06 / km) | |
| argh i'm so tired!
I've never run that far before... it was tiring! and boring too. Ran down to the lake, which I think is about 1.5km from my house the way I went, then did two laps of the bridge loop which is 5km, before crashing on the grass. Oops, I mean, before cooling down and stretching for ages. Nah I was too tired I just ran about a hundred metres slowly and stretched for about 5 mins before walking (slowly) home again. I'll pay for that crappy warm down with sore muscles tomorrow I guess. By the way, someone tell me, do you think the intensity rating should be about how fast you were running or the time you were running for or what? coz that was a whole lot of effort for me even though I wasn't running that fast. | ||
