Little warm up and warm down, I'm shocked i did either it was so hot.

Park event #2 at Raymond Terrace. Alot of running, and it was deceptively tough running too. Mown grass, some wind and little embankments and stuff took it out of my legs alot! Still feel a bit stuffed up in the head!!?! Don't know why it's still around but i doubt anyone felt too brilliant running today anyway.

Course Long - Splits

Short easy jog with mum from home. Feeling alot better but still not 100%, still have blocked ears and blocked nose/back of throat. Felt good to get out for an easy one to loosen my legs though! A few running drills after.

Body blitz at the gym. A bit of a different class today which was nice. All of me is so shaky! Saw my doctor today and he gave me some antibiotics so hopefully my head clears up pretty quickly now.

Training at Balickera Hills set by Barnett. Still suffering a bit of a cold but i started running feeling and navigating pretty alright. Definitely didn't pay enough attention to the green though, it was pretty accurate and i could've saved a bit of time if i actually made sure i went around because i'm a bit of a weakling in the thick stuff sometimes. Started to feel a whole lot worse at the 35min mark, and by 50mins by body had had enough. Legs were still feeling relatively ok but my head was just super ugh. Enjoyed it but in hind-sight perhaps today wasn't such a good idea.

Jog to the start for a warm up. Just walked back to the car after so no warm down, oops

#Newcastlepreseasoncampwahhhht with Macey, Sal, Steve, Rob and Andrew. Did a Middle distance at Southams Road set by coach Josh who braved the march flies to be there for support, hero. Really good course and i thought quite nice terrain one i got used to the spider webs. Relatively happy with my orienteering, a bit unsure in the circle of 13 and 15 but that was just me being a bit iffy without having tapes. Felt good physically early but had a few coughing stops and fatigued a bit. Had to skip the second session of the day to go to work but i'm definitely still not 100% so it was probably a good thing anyway. Pretty gross muggy weather!

Bit of strength at the gym, much more enjoyable when there aren't so many intimidating lifting types there and more old ladies. 10min of rowing and then a bit of everything strength. I think the running yesterday may have been a bad move because i woke up with a bit of a chesty cough going on :( I thought it was definitely on the mend but this will do me today!
