| Feeling good. I like early starts so much better than late ones! |
| orienteering race 1:00:00 [4] | |
| |
| So much trail running, I really wanted to push it today. And I felt strong (finally). Very clean run, good flow, and changed pace when I needed to. Very proud of running all but a couple of steps up the hill at the end. |

| Never felt like I really got into a flow today. Also didn't feel any zip in my legs. Long drive last night may have something to do with it. |

| Walked for 80 minutes today (not all at once). Much of it hills and some of it pushing Bridget. All of it rushing! My legs were definitely feeling it, so I figured I would log it at 25%. |

| A bit worn out, but it still felt ok. Up Hurricane Mtn Rd to the water tower, then cut through to Crown Ridge, and back around on the roads. Nothing in particular is sore, just generally tired. |

| With Dad, and on my own at times. Up Hurricane Mtn Road, and Hurricane Mountain, then up the Black Cap Trail to the Red Tail Trail, and down. I did all the switchbacks and Dad went straight.
Felt pretty good. Not fast on the hill, but plenty of endurance. Uphill logged separately .... |

| |
| Bridget sick. Woke us up too many times in the night. I spent the whole day feeling lousy, wondering whether I too am getting sick, or whether it was just lack of sleep. She didn't want me to run on the treadmill, so I didn't.
Arms, abs and back. Used the 5lb weights for the arms today. Think I'll feel it tomorrow! |
Monday Apr 17 |
| running (treadmill) 55:00 [3] | |
| ahr:148 max:162 slept:7.0 shoes: Pegasus 2 |
| 11:30am, watching the marathon! Kids on the computer and in front of the television ... only way I can be sure they don't start fighting while I'm running!
Felt good once I warmed up (which took 2 miles). Got below 7:30 pace in the last third. Did some inclines at 4 and 5% ... all at 1% or 1.5%.
Glad to be running, as I missed out due to Bridget being sick yesterday and needing plenty of parental attention ... |

| 3pm. Beautifully sunny day with a little breeze. I felt like I could keep going and going as long as I didn't push the pace too much. Still, it wasn't plodding. Had to stop when I did as Andy also needed to run! |

| orienteering tempo (sprints) 50:00 [4] ** | |

| 2 sprints. Pretty clean, just two errors - one bad compass and one overrunning (not adjusting to the scale). Caught both of them reasonably quickly.
Took splits, but don't have time to put them in! |
