Run from Clare's, with Clare and Katelyn (until I had to walk home), and James for the first 15 seconds.
I had low expectations of this run as my feet and ankle have been giving me some grief. a weird pain in my arches that's a little like plantar fasciitis but in the arch rather than under my feet, and a pinchy pain the front of my right ankle. The arch pain I can manage while I run, but the pinchy pain turned up after about half and hour so I had to walk home from there. very annoying to have another injury to worry about. I really just want to get on with training.

R ankle was a bit sore after running last night, and back has flared up a bit. The endless cycle of injury management continues.

Its been a while (more than 2 yrs!) but I've decided to reinstate the anzac park time trial to Thursday evenings. The course has had an adjustment - the track on the hill behind the dog park is gone thanks to some works for the new tunnel, so the course now goes in front of the dog park and along the concrete track until the other side of the creek - both on the way out and back. I don't think this changes the overall time of the course that much - its a bit quicker running but also a bit longer.

I was hoping to get under 30 - established benchmark for an early season run. The run itself felt pretty bad, and that by the last few hills I was barely running, but the time was reasonable.

I ran with Lauren and Ingrid - their first run and they survived.

Short interval session at SMT, with Lauren and Ingrid. It was cold, and motivation was non-existent, but dragged my ass out anyway.

Aim was to do a reasonable session without irritating my stupid ankle. Got through the session, but it was a bit sore on the run home.
Pyramid session - 400 (1:28), 800 (3:03), 1200 (4:46), 800 (3:04), 400 (1:87), 400 (1:23).

rediscovered an app where you can measure heart rate by holding your finger over the flash on your phone. that is about the level of effort I'm capable of first thing in the morning, so might try to track RHR for a while and see if it tells me anything.

hot yoga class. took Helen along this week for a laugh. she did really well and only needed a bit of extra instruction - mainly regular reminders to breathe.
