I've been trying to remember to streeeetch more this week, but legs still feeling pretty tight and soles of my feet were tingling last night which is not a good sign. I did pilates class this morning and then swimming with 2yo grandson, so didn't run till this evening after dark. I was wearing my new shoes (Nike Atlas) with no problems at all with...

After the 35km on Monday my legs were feeling it quite a bit more than usual, which is probably a combination of
1. stepping up distance and intensity last week
2. running long distance on concrete and bitumen after several weeks mainly on dirt
3. shoes getting a bit old
I did a 10km recovery run on Tuesday morning (M-19) and really struggled, not only no...

What a glorious Sydney morning it was! I left home at 6am and headed around the bay (said hi to JD down there) before following the well beaten path along Victoria Rd and over the Anzac Bridge to Pyrmont and the city. This was actually the most unpleasant bit of the run, with exhaust fumes and traffic lights. Once I got across the Pyrmont bridge to the...
Yep, I sooked out of the 35km this morning. At 3am my R hammy was still quite stiff so I decided to award it 24 hrs to recover from Saturday's twinge. Kept very busy with catching up with the family and life in general. Hamstring definitely feeling better tonight so the alarm is on for 5:30am and I'm rummaging around online to find the new marathon...
Wow 2 months since the last blog entry. This has been a very busy period indeed for me with work and travel, but pleased to say that I'm going to be back in Sydney AND taking some time out for the next few months. I've taken the plunge and entered for the Sydney Marathon on 19 September, hence the marathon countdown theme you'll see emerging in...
I'm sneaking this blog entry in between writing a paper for my conference in Malta next week (leaving on Tuesday), dealing with the aftermath of my trip to NT last week, and just generally feeling a bit fatigued and migrainey. I was supposed to be in the Woodford to Glenbrook cheersquad today, selling CR gear, but I woke up this morning with migraine...
Since I was here a month ago the dry season has well and truly arrived thank goodness, so although it was quite warm it wasn't very humid. I ran as usual at first light, on bike paths and a bit of dirt trail near where I am staying.
Not too much difference in pace from yesterday, my legs were feeling stronger though, as can be seen from the steady...

The cold weather that is! Frosty this morning out here!
I should report that I've done 2x3km runs and a 1hr walk this week, all no problem. My pilates class on Thursday revealed my quads and glutes fatigued a lot earlier than usual.
This morning I did 4km down to the Bay then did 5x100m on the usual oval about 1km from home but decided not to...

When I woke up yesterday morning my legs were feeling pretty much back to normal. 
I did a bit of a stroll with family at lunchtime, which involved climbing steps either side of the overpass... and although power was noticeably lacking, I had no pain or stiffness at all, so I decided to follow the programme and do the 3km recovery jog. It was...

Just back in Sydney after a great weekend away in Southwest Rocks. What a beautiful part of the world! The road is so much better now than it used to be, we will try to get up that way more often.
Sunday was perfect in just about every way, right down to getting my lucky number 4 as my race number. As blog readers will know, I have been planning for...
