Sun/Mon/Tues

Still resting awaiting news of op...

Tues/Wed/Thur/Fri/Sat

More rest days - resting injuries/awaiting small op....

Sunday/Monday

More rest days due to ongoing Plantar and hamstring issues - lack of motivation following no toe surgery being possible for a couple of weeks more.

Cap'n Cooks lookout

Very dissapointed not to have the minor operation I desperately needed on Friday....very de motivational as I had planned to rest these other injuries after the op.
Will have to wait a couple of weeks now and so decided to give the Trotters run a go this morning.Run itself went OK but Plantar fascia to Right foot and Hamstring on Left leg sore for the rest of the day...

Wednesday - rest

Had to miss 6@6 due to hammie problem and tiredness....

Tuesday - speedwork.

5 X 1000m in 3:46, 3:33, 3:32, 3:33, 3:29.
Good session - had to go easyish due to ongoing Left hammie problem.

Sunday - The Orchard run

Was knackered in this and it became an exercise in running on empty - finally finished in 2:58 - not helped by 2 falls that had me adding to the catalogue of injuries/grazes.Hamsting on Left side very sore for rest of day.

Trotters - Fragrant Gardens run.

Only about 11.5 km and felt pretty good apart from having tight calves and hammies and struggling on the up hills along Hastings road - just made up by running faster on the downhills which I don't think my legs appreciated too much.Forgot towel again so no swim afterwards...

3 Peaks race - Tasmania

Another go at this event and after 4 days underways relieved that we're now finished.Sailing conditions were slow but the benefit was that we got to do most of the running in daylight.Run legs went pretty good and having a strong running partner made for better times then last time.
Only 10 other teams this year compared to over 30 - 2 years ago so most of the time we had little company as the race spread out.Feet and legs held together surprisingly well and apart from a few falls - one damaged elbow and a few grazes the only injuries.
