Jog over to physio's then home, with laptop containing backpack...

Plyos at physio's office. I am really terrible at jumping rope how they want me too- I always do two little hops per rotation, they want just one, but a little hop, not a big one, which means you have to spin the rope really fast. And then I miss.

Event: WCOC Five Ponds meet
 

Warm up run around Lake Bray at Mt. Tom. Was staying in contact with the map as I ran, and then couldn't find a boulder where I wanted to. So searched it out, which took embarrassingly long.

Ran around the south of the road bit of the Western Mass Rules event from last fall. Felt not good going up hills (breathing issues), but otherwise wasn't too knackered from the illness, so hope I'm nearly healthy! Went pretty well, and also didn't wear brace by mistake and still didn't crunch ankle, so psyched about that!

Skips and squats. Everyone loves someone wierdo jumping around their parking lot!

C • I always think about doing ... 3

Still feeling blah from cold, little running to and from errands.

10 min abs
1 min back
~4 min ankle exercises

I am totally crap at doing balance tip toes. One of my exercises is to raise up onto tip toes on one foot and then balance there for 10-30 sec. 10 is pushing it at the moment...!

Little mid-afternoon jog. Lovely weather. Ran around, did some plyo exercises, saw two turtles scamper away into the pond then swim. There are also some really impressive cherry trees in blossom around campus. Woo!

Ill since I woke up with a sore throat yesterday. So just chillin til it won't feel really bad to breathe hard.

Got back into physio because someone else canceled. Was shown bunches of exercises to do. Mission: really, frickin' strong ankles. Here I come!
