Took the stick to my calve and shins. Painful.

Was planning on a significantly longer run but my right heel and left knee started hurting part way though. Stopped for a little to stretch and the knee pain disappeared quickly but the heel pain persisted so I cut it short.

Same workout as on Wednesday. Really struggled with the last couple of situps and found the one legged v-ups tough too. Still feeling it from Wednesday evening and then the hills on Thursday I think. Current plan is to do an unstructured core workout on Monday and then the same structured workout on Wednesday and Friday but we'll see how the week goes.

A little bit of quad stretching before and more afterwards along with a dozen or so weight shifts. Listened to a couple of moderately interesting podcasts while cycling. They got me through.

6 x up nose hill (3x 2 different routes - 390 m and 360 m.

Meant to do this yesterday or this morning but it just wasn't going to happen while staying with Steph and Mark.

2x10 back extension press-ups (15 secs hold)
2x15 hip abductor machine
2x15 situps
2x15 hanging leg raises (bent knees)
2x15 each side dumbbell side bends (10 lbs)
2x15 each side single leg v-ups
2x10 lumbar hyperextensions right arm extended to engage the right back extensors

Super (physically) easy training at SFU with Meghan, Kate, Emma^2 and Christian. Just because I didn't get enough orienteering on the weekend ;)

Super cool sprint campus but I suspect a few extra extra bridge symbols would really help clarify what is and isn't passable on the different levels. There were a few spots where it was impossible tell whether or not you could get from point a to point b.

Thanks for the training Meghan!
