Sri chinmoy trail run at tuggeranong (pine island). It was freezing! Went north on towards kambah pool over urambi hills then back along the centenary trail along the Murrumbidgee past red rocks gorge. Really fun! Set off at good steady pace and concentrated on technique. At about 5km there was quite a big hill and I walked up the steep bit, then there was quite a long stretch of mostly downhill. I lost a few places in that section and decided to pick up pace for second half, and once we turned onto the single track I got a second wind and picked up pace. I caught up a few girls and my nemesis and was running really well. I felt good, ran at a good pace and managed to keep it up to the end! Was really fun along the river and I was pleased with how I ran.

Short run around gossan hill and did some taper ints (4x 1'(1'), 4x 30"(30")). Didn't feel too fast but was nice to be out running during the day.

Ran home from work over black mtn. Felt pretty good and enjoyed it.

Yoga at work. Was great

Ran from gymnastics to AIS and met Shannon for another track session. It was windy and freezing but a great session, really hard! Did 5 x1km with 1' recovery (4:15, 4:14, 4:12, 4:16, 4:14), then few min jog then 5 x200m on a 1'30" cycle ( 45", 43", 44", 44", 44"). Ran back to belco to cool down. Very tired afterwards!

Ride to and from work (via lyneham in morning)

Met Lex for second follow up running technique session. Was really good. Notes for future reference:

2 indirect cues (these are better for teaching brain):
1. Don't let left hip drop (keep left hip up with body)
2. Reverse rotation- right arm back and left arm forward
At times, deliberately run without cues to feel difference and note where foot lands.

1 direct cue (for when tired/struggling to do indirect cues):
Small left arm movement and left hand comes to meet right knee.
