Palmdale

Very pleasing day running wise.Managed to run for 1 hr:36 mins.Ran easy with fellow Trotter but was still struggling to keep up on the steep hills.Big step forward today.

Trotters 10km time trial

Was hoping for 40 mins but had to be content with 40:32.Set off pretty pedestrian as aware of lack of any serious training and it was quite humid.Toes felt OK so all things considered was reasonably pleased.

Narara station

Just a short 26 min jog tonight.
Right knee a bit sore so iced it for 15.

Narara High School

36:47 tonight.Really pushed on as hard as possible throughout.Conditions were still quite warm.
Quite pleased to have run second best time over this course.

6@6

Didn't blog yesterday due to workmen chopping telephone line-but did jog for 35 mins.
Did 6@6 tonight and have got to be pleased with 23:38 a 29 sec improvement over last week.
Toes felt fine too.

Narara High School

Felt pretty ordinary tonight as did the legs/toes.Reaction was to push harder and was pleased to finish the run in 37:51.

Just a slowish 38:56 jog tonight.Felt a bit tired and couldn't take advantage of the cool conditions.

Toes held up really well.

Legs far better tonight and slightly cooler conditions made for a better run in 38:21.

Narara High school

36:59.6 - Felt good tonight in cooler conditions.
Finally feeling like some fitness is slowly returning.

Narara High school

Same 8km course but an improvement to 38:14.
Mainly due to cooler conditions and ran in old worn out Asics as new New Balance shoes,(2 pairs),are not working out too good.

Narara High school

40:08 Tonight even though I took a slightly shorter course.
Found it very hard going in the heat-about 8km according to Map My Run.

Increased the distance tonight slightly and ran for 39:38.
Was still quite warm at 6PM but felt quite good toes were a bit sore towards the end.

Narara station

Back to basics tonight-very slow -protecting the sore Right toes in 25:48 .
Will be a slow recovery.Right knee also bad and iced it after run.

Rest day

After overdoing it yesterday resting.
Had Right toe pains today and general weakness.Will have to ensure I don't overdo it again.

Carrington Loop

Bit off more then I could chew today.
Went off really slow as I'd decided to do a longer run.Today was really hot and after 30 mins I suffered badly.Finished the run in 1:02:59 with very sore toes and a quick lesson to take up longer distance a lot slower.The toes really will need a lot more healing time.
May even take a day off tomorrow.

Short and sweet.

I was really amazed that I managed to improve again on yesterdays time but did the same run in 21:33.Yesterday being cooler and the wet weather keeping the pollen at bay.Also I worked 9 hours today so was convinced that I'd fail to improve but surprised myself.
The run is getting so short that I'll have to try and up the distance a little next week.

Narara station

Got up late and had slightly sore Right toes during the day.Decided to keep to the short run and in cool conditions ran 22:27 a couple of mins quicker then yesterday and quite a bit faster then my first run back.I don't feel hurried to get into shape as it's summer and will try to build slowly as the toes still have a lot of healing to do.
