My back problems ended up caused by compensating for foot problems which turned into total pain in my heel every step by Sat afternoon (like PF pain) so I took the whole weekend off running. Discovered that when I wore my runners (with orthotics) I had no pain so wore shoes all day Sat / Sun. - even thought about sleeping in them :lol: Today pain seems gone (bare foot that is) but wore my runners to work anyway (thank heavens I can!). Plan to try for 10K tonight since I missed my LSD. If the foot starts hurting I'll loop back home and play it safe. Don't want to 'lose' my first half at NCM so hoping that I caught it fast and can keep it from getting bad! I am optimistic though and it is a beautiful morning!

With nothing to really train for I guess it is time to start thinking of something like the 20 min challenge.

Will likely start doing short runs daily with a 20 min minimum.

Clinic night. It's 6 or 8km I think, likely tempo paced. My legs feel good for 21+ km yesterday... thank goodness.

What a whirlwind weekend. :shock: It's Monday already?!

G'day,
I walked out the door at 5:10 a.m. and it was pouring rain. I halted, thought seriously about going back to bed and running in the evening. I realized that would likely not happen, so I cut my run a bit short instead. I went out for 6K and I'm still feeling far too sluggish. I felt somewhat akin to a wet dog by the time I returned but it is so great just to get out there anyway.

Way to have at 'er Dan!

I got a circuit workout in already...and I'm contemplating heading out the door for a quick 4K tempo.

Then I have to tackle the kids' bedrooms. They tend to tidy up, but every now and then the parental units have to do a thorough clean and organization. Today is that day! Hopefully I can get both rooms done in time for them to come home from school and undo all my work. :roll: :wink:

Rest day for me after running 10K in the Sporting Life 10, and walking another 7+K in the Bell walk for Kids.

I love rest days! :D

Back in the proverbial saddle after a busy weekend (lots of painting, driving and rugby!) and a few days off to let my knees heal.

Happy to report that I ran 6K this morning with minimal discomfort (mostly just from the scrapes) and biked into work this morning. I was a bit anxious on the ride, but I'm hoping my confidence will build back up.

Tonight - 80 minute spin followed by a brick run and some strength.

A swim at lunch and then a spin on the bike.

I may try taking my bike outside again today - it is supposed to be 14°C and sunny today :roll:. I am getting so sick of the trainer, but I am not willing to ride through snow again...

Havea great day everyone,

Plyometric leg workout at the gym this morning...I can see results! My legs are actually getting some definition from the combination of running and plyo workouts!

Have a great day everyone.
