Friday

Another very slow jog around Blackwattle bay and over the ANZAC bridge - easy week due to half marathon tomorrow - first "race" in over a year - could be very slow??

Thursday

Short slow jog over Anzac bridge - Left knee immediately hurting again - possibly patella tracking - when wearing worn Mizunos - but only shoes I have that I can realistically wear for half marathon on Saturday....

Wednesday

Iron Cove loop, a little faster in 1:02 - was struggle at lunchtime with a bit of a breeze over the water - still unclear if I have a virus - but at least 2 ongoing injuries are slightly improved.

Monday/Tuesday

Monday - quite slow - again lap of Iron Cove in 1:05
Tuesday - very slow jog for around 5km - trying to rest up in case I decide to do a half marathon at Penrith on Saturday...

Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday....

Thursday - a bit improved but still quite slow lap of Iron Cove in 1:03 - (expected at least this time after 2 rest days!)
Friday - lap of the harbour - slowish in 1:50
Saturday - Iron cove loop - very slow again - 1:09
Sunday - lap of the harbour - really struggled and had to stop to massage very sore toes,(in different shoes)took a very slow 1:55.

Sunday/Monday/Tues/Wed

Sunday - very slow 1:05 around Iron Cove - felt very tired and injuries getting worse.
Monday - even slower 1:09 - difficult maintaining a slow jog,very much a lack of motivation at the moment.
Tues - no run just totally tired and pissed off
Wednesday - no run again.

Thursday/Friday

Thursday - Slowish run around the harbour - taking 1:50 - running in old Asics - stiffnes to side of right calf continues but left knee slightly improved with change of shoes.
Friday - went for a sort of job interview in Kingsgrove so jogged very slowly from Glebe in about 1:07 then returned even more slowly as out of energy when arriving back at 3:30 having not eaten since breakfast.....

Wednesday

Managed to get around short loop in about 1 hour - but found it very hard work - still feeling tired and running on empty a bit.Tried old Asics as problems with side of right calf and left knee continue.

Sunday/Monday/Tuesday

Sunday - long slow run.Did lap of harbour and upon meeting another runner on the approach to Gladesville bridge - ended up adding a lap of Iron Cove bay.Stopped at the end of Iron Cove - for a drink/chat for 5 mins before arriving home in about 2:15 - but apart from the lap of Iron Cove - a pretty sedate run.
Monday - did the usual short run including a lap of Iron Cove bay - and was a little disappointed in the 1 hour it took.
Tuesday - felt energyless from the start and the usual short loop turned into more of a jog then run only managing to get out just before 1pm - taking about 1:10.Hope I'm not getting the virus that seems to be being caught by everyone - especially around the share place I'm living....

WED/THUR/FRI/SAT

Unable to maintain speed wed - and finished tired in 1:01
Thursday - worked - 4 hours but still too tired after to run...
Friday - just a slow jog to Randwick/Centennial Park - back through city...
Saturday - managed 57 1/2 mins for Iron Cove loop despite windy conditions - so not too bad after rest days....

Tuesday

Finally managed to crack the hour for the Iron Cove bay loop - a "blistering" 58 mins - Managed to run at pretty much optimum speed for the majority of the run - easing slightly when too much in Oxygen debt and although a general feeling of lung bursting pain - felt a lot better than of late.

Friday - lap of the harbour from Glebe - via Piermont,Harbour, - Crows nest - Burns Bay,Fig tree,Gladesville,Iron Cove bridges - return to Glebe in 1:46 - OK apart from usual terribly painful toes from about 12km on.
