Training Log Archive: PrueD

Run around Blackburn lake and environs, with a few short hills. I came back to Blackburn last night, appreciating the lack of traffic on the Hume Highway on a Saturday night.
I am getting my Blackburn house ready for houseguests from the US, who are staying for a month, starting later this week. Invis and Jools may know them (Jol, from uni canoeing days, and his wife). If so, they will understand why l have to vacate my bedroom (queen bed) and move into my spare room, which has a smaller bed. They are also vegan, with the exception of honey, so that will make for some interesting meals!

Trail run at Reef Hills. Nice to be in bush, although it seemed very silent. Bruising is now coming out on my leg and hand, which are both still quite tender.

Run around Benalla lake and gardens. I would have preferred to swim but wounds still a bit weepy. Lovely autumn weather here in the NE, although a little smokey.

Run around Benalla lake and parklands. Both knees were a bit tender at the start but improved as l went. I want to continue to pursue my fitness goals. Despite my mishap on day 1 of the 3-days, l definitely felt fitter from my training program this year.

Easter Day 3. After some performance 'enabling' drugs, l felt pretty good. Having a compass that pointed to north helped as well. The old one ( which was actually the new one) got ditched yesterday after the needle started sticking and north was about 30 degrees out. Grrr:(. Anyway, apart from a couple of poor route choices, l was relatively clean and came in about where l thought l should. Life returns. Just a bit late.
