Sat
Went for a gorgeous run with Fi on the Boulevard, it was lovely. Noticed that my quad felt a bit twangy on the downhills and thought it must have been waking up after hitting it into the tree on Tuesday. Stopped and stretched it out and kept going. It felt ok.
Got back to the car and jumped on the bike and nearly fell off with the pain that shot up my quad. It was so tight it felt like it was going to tear every time I turned the foot over. Worst pain ever. I put the bike in an easy gear and tried to ride it out on the flat. After about 10 mins it was no better and I was putting all my weight through the handlebars to try and ease it over.
We called it quits and went to a cafe for a pre breakfast tea.
Sun
I was the only person to show up for the strongman session. I was glad they still ran it for me. Leg seemed to be ok but I didn't do anything to overly load the quad.
Heavy session, nearly spewed.

M2W
SAT
Went for a short solo run to test the legs. Not surprisingly I was feeling very sore and tired after a very heavy week. I didn't do too badly so decided that running with Fi might work. I forgot that she runs fast so we did a bit of run a bit of walk and a lot of talk. She's my favourite.
PM
I was following the Warny on Twitter and listening on the radio and getting super excited by the coverage. My goodness, that is a hard, hard race and I have massive respect for everybody who lined up on the start line to give it a crack. I got so excited that I needed to go for another run to burn off some energy.
I felt alot better than in the morning and did an extended P Park loop quite happily.
SUN
Went for a quick run before family lunch. Felt good, was a shame I had to head for home so quickly to get ready.

New tricks
Fi and I ran down to and along the beach this morning. I was very tired and my legs felt very heavy after a pretty big week.
We ran for 1/2 hour and then walked back to breakfast. It was another gorgeous morning, such a nice way to spend it with a lovely friend talking about all manner of things.
run 1/2 hour
walk 1 hour

Beach in the morning
I ran from the Tan down to Beach Rd this morning. Melbourne turned on the charm. Moon set on my right, sunrise on my left, still bay reflecting a pink sky, traffic lights glinting on the Westgate, Spirit of Tasmania in the dock and stand up paddlers gliding softly by.
I was so taken with how pretty it was that I walked out onto Kerferd Rd Pier and stood there for a good 10mins.
Rach kept me company on the run back and kept me honest.
7km
PM
Wow, my legs are sore.
skip 100
box jumps 10
single leg step up to squat 3 x 10 each leg
2 16kg kb step up 3 x 5 each leg
2 x 16kg kb bulgarian split squat 2 x 5 each leg
enough.

White Weddings
I took a rest day on Friday, picked up Amy's new bike and headed home.
Sat am
It was a super gorgeous morning in Bendigo. I ran down to Lake Weeroona and then met Dad in town for breakfast.

Beautiful Beach Rd
The running girls met at Beach Rd this morning for a change. It was very lovely, the air was warm and I was surprised to notice that it felt different. Melbourne's a small city, but the air at my house, feels different to the air at the Boulevard which feels different to the Beach.
There was no wind, truly gorgeous.
I probably ran 6km but I'm not sure because my GPS wasn't working.
PM Backyard
Our last chance at tree ups tonight as the trees being removed tomorrow.
Deck squats 2 x 20
box jumps 3 x 20
step ups 2 16kg kb 3 x 20
step downs 3 x 5
tree ups 5

Minutes and ten downs
Oh golly, I'm out of shape! My legs are soooo sore, I was trying so hard to disguise from Jeff how sore I was but he worked out pretty quickly that I'm soft at the moment.
I had so much fun running with Fi this morning, what's a little bit of DOMS between friends? (ok, alot).
We did 20 repeats of 1 min sprint, 1 min jog recovery. My sprints weren't very sprinty but I still pushed out what I could and got more than a little vommy. All up I did just over 7km in 40 minutes. Not bad, but not great.
Pm at the Gym was tough. I chose the 12kg kb to my shame, but the black spots and vomit feeling makes me think I made the right choice.
round body pass 20 ew x 2
OA swing 20 es
OA swing 10 es
OA swing 9 es
OA swing 8es
OA swing 7es
OA swing 6es
OA swing 5es
OA swing 4es
OA swing 3es
OA swing 2es
OA swing 1es
From here on in, I'll call that pattern '10 down'.
cleans 20 es
cleans 10 down
jerks 10 es
jerks 10 down
LCCJ 10 es x 3
LCCJ 5 down
the end.

Weekend fun
Saturday Oct 1
Finally, finally I was well enough to go for a run with Fi. We nearly headed to the pool because I wasn't keen on running in the rain but after a rudie nudie change in the car because the weather was fine I was good to go.
We started from Swan St and headed along the flat boulevard to Walmer and then back, I lasted 50 minutes and I was so sore afterwards that I spent the day in Skins.
It was so lovely to be running with Fi again, we had alot of life to catch up on. Lucky Fi had a lot to talk about because just running and listening was more than enough effort for me.
I'm happy with the distance, I've got no idea of pace because we both went Garminless.
Sunday Oct 2
Daylight savings started last night so after a bit of a sleep in I woke to a beautifully sunny spring day. Hmmm, trail running or a ride on the Boulevard? I decided to get on the bike as I'd already run this weekend.
I didn't do a mega ride, my heartrate was super high and I was at threshold for the entire time. I rode for an hour in beautiful sunshine and when I'd been swooped 3 times was happy to turn for home.
I was all alone for training in the backyard, and again in the interests of sensibleness eased myself back for my first strenght session in weeks.
500 skips
100 bodyweight lunges
100 bw dragon lunges
100 bw squats
30 pushups
I'll see how I pull up tomorrow.

want you back
I went for a run this morning. Finally. It hurt. Alot.
I've got a lot of work to do to get back to usual fitness and then alot more to get to race fit. I wish Jeff still lived here but he doesn't so I'm going to have to work it out myself. First stop, regain usual good health. Second, don't overdo it with impatience.
Dist 6.5km
