Session intervals (Grass) 34:54 [3] 6.95 mi (5:01 / mi)

A touch session at a park in Brum called "Rabblebarn" Chris (the lad who Tom and I trained with in Oxford was the only other male attendee, the rest were all girls, so we cracked on and worked pretty well together.

He kicked my arrse last week but this week I was more than a match which is encouraging, hee beat me considerably on the first three reps but from thereon in we were toe to toe, or I was slightly in front. Very windy conditions.

He's in shape atm, but normally I'm a bit in front of him in reps, but in terms of progress, this is defo good news. However, less encouraging is the fact that my legs were absolutely killing with DOMS this am and throughout the session prob from the Sunday run and weights which, foolishly I thought I'd got away with. Therefore I'm gonna plod now to hopefully give a good account of where I am on Sat.

Session was:
(3 x small laps/ 60s)/ 90s
2 big laps continuous/ 90s
(3 x small laps/ 60s)/ 90s

Easy Running warm up/down 35:16 [3] 5.0 mi (7:03 / mi)

Quads very sore
5 PM

Easy Running 30:00 [3] 4.11 mi (7:18 / mi)

Easy to the gym, where I planned to do core but spent 30mins on the phone to my dad, then took ages stretching and ran out of time. Recovery was of the essence, which is why I stopped at 30, I think slow running on sore legs can sometimes make them worse

I'm cancelling my trip to Kenya, my Dad saw the consultant today who said he needs the op this month but didn't give a date. Therefore in order to be around an to end the stress of "is it possible to go after the op" I've decided not to go.

I'm gutted as I love the place, it's Hattis birthday while she's out there and it's also cheaper to be out there than farting about driving between brum and Sheffield. But life comes first
