20 minutes easy stretching after a 20 minute walk with the dog to warm up the muscles a bit.

Setting out flags in the dark for the last Thursday training of the season. Traffic was absolutely horrendous getting out there so I only had time to hang the first 5 flags by 6:30 then waiting for another 15 minutes for Mark and Anita to arrive. When the others started the exercise I went out and hung another 2 flags before my headlamp battery died.

Picked up flags using Alex's lamp.

Easy interval session half on sand at Britannia Beach and half on paved paths. Fun session but my right knee was bugging me a bit (I think I may have taped my right thigh a bit too tight) and I was feeling beat up still from yesterday's physio.

Went to physio at 11:00 this morning for the first time since NAOCs. I'm at a stage now where I can definitely manage things with regular stretching (for the most part). The problem comes in when I don't stretch regularly :(

Was planning on 20-25 minutes of easy cycling but my knees started to get a little sore coming up to 15 minutes so I called it quits. All of my spidey-sense have been telling me that I'm soon going to regret the lack of stretching I've been doing recently so I decided I'd be better off stretching instead of continuing on the bike.

Did 16 minutes of stretching afterwards. I also did about 5 minutes before hand.

Rest day today though I do plan on getting a good long stretching session in and I'm coaching tonight in Arnprior - last week of programs this week!
