Played out at Blue Mountain with Ndobbs. Team trials are going to be awesome. Also plenty to keep the New Haven Nature group interested - an absolute ton of deer today!

What could I do that is fun and exercise related and doesn't require the use of a car this afternoon?

Orienteering 53:46 6.51 km (8:16 / km) +260m 6:53 / km

Yey! Just as I was about to resign myself to the rest of the day in front of Netflix, my Fairy Godparents called and made my wish come true, and took me to play at Sleeping Giant. Thanks Will and Claire! Picked some of the windiest rockiest trails ad jumped around mountain goat like, and scrambled up hillsides. Actually quite warm too. Great fun, exactly what I wanted.
My Fairy Godparents then facilitated my purchase of mustard greens, before cooking a delicious venison stew. They rock.

I lost the battle and compromised by agreeing to half of tomorrow's conference. Boo to me.

Running 48:06 5.47 mi (8:47 / mi) +161m 8:03 / mi
ahr:166 max:184
Today's session was hard, but it has been an excellent week of training and I'm allowed to have tired legs. Ten mins warm up, 23 mins marathon pace around the undulating East Rock track, then jog back. Got into it by the end, first couple of minutes of tempo pretty tough. Boosch, excellent week in the bag.

(rest day)
Shattered today after all the stress of yesterday, going to switch my rest day with tomorrow as there's no early morning lab meeting (yey!). I am finally back on top of everything I need to be though, except for sorting out my Driving test, but that is next week's fun.

Lovely evening run at Maltby Lakes with Marie, Boris and Matthias. Decided I had to turn back so as not to over run for the day, but then promptly got lost and ended up running for only about five mins less than the boys. Oops. But Marie was ultra hardcore and continued for another loop. Maltby is an absolutely gorgeous area, is there really no way we will ever get permission to use it? While I was getting lost I saw a deer and a humungous turkey. Exciting ghetto happening of the day was a pair of small children carrying a bow and arrow with real arrows out of the forest. Not as exciting as Sunday's ghetto happening, where Boris and Jon and I drove past an ancient black guy out training for the morning by walking with a large log balanced on his right shoulder. His calves were amazing.

Fantastic Tuesday morning session (7 x 5 (3)). Definitely made the right choice not to race after hanging on Sunday, as was really up for this. Ran very well, strong, powerful up the hills, and tired but still able to hit the right pace on the last rep. Really fun, gorgeous morning (though still very cold). I'm feeling like a different person. It's great.

Recovery 42:49 7.48 km (5:43 / km) +132m 5:15 / km
ahr:154 max:174
Recovery jog round East Rock and picking up a few of the control points on the way back. Legs feeling a little tired but body much better after an excellent sleep last night.
Strength 33:57 0.0 km
ahr:122 max:157
Back to strength session one! I'm hoping for the next month or so to be a little less hectic and to actually increase the weights at some point! These weights are feeling pretty easy no on everything but the lunge and press.
Recovery 5:37 1.04 km (5:24 / km)
ahr:152 max:162
Jog back home. Weighed myself on the way out, down to 60.3kg now, despite a few takeaways last week. Excellent. Looking a lot more like a runner again too, but still a bit of extra around my hips. Not going to try too hard to ditch it, just eat well and keep training consistently.
