Progress

Posted by Gadfly , 09 October 2008 · 70 views

Well, after a break from running over the long weekend (forced break as orthotics in for adjustment)....and enjoying a lovely time in Orange (Gadfairy has decided she would like to live there)...and sleeping in too long yesterday so I missed my chance to run...........i set out this morning around the bay.   Lovely run.   Feet are OK, but a little sore in places with the new orthotics, enjoyed Vivaldi again and kept to my slower pace.   I felt like I could have gone a little faster today without ruining my 'slow' plan, but didn't.  

Had class tonight and our trainer commented she thought that I was looking fitter again and it was time to push me a little more.........I agree, that it's time to start pushing a little and stretching the distance once a week, and the speed on another shorter run each week.  

Looking around Orange on the weekend, I'm a little concerned about the hills ....and the comments on the Orange half thread from this year - will I be up for the challenge to make Orange my first half in March?   I really don't think I'll do the Sydney in May.....  but maybe the Canberra....... still unsure.    :o  

Tossing up whether to sell the treadmill.   It hasn't been used for at least 9 months now.....but I'm fearful that once I sell it....I'll get injured or something and need it.

Not sure whether I'll run tomorrow morning or not - might give my feet a day to settle after the new orthotics and go on the weekend.

Swimming lessons in the morning with Gadfairy and then a quiet day for last day of school holidays....has been a nice one.

Glad to hear you are back into it and feeling better.  What classes do you do?  Are they running related?  (Thinks to self, could do with some classes if there is such a beast!!)

It's an outdoor group training class.    I have done it for 6 years now!   Mostly once a week, but occasionally I go twice for a while.    I started off in 'Mums and Bubs' when Gadfairy was 12 months old, and then once she went to school, I switched to an evening class.    It is a great way for me to keep motivated, get some fresh air and we do anything and everything from boxing, running, weights, core work, cardio sessions, pilates type exercises with a ball, circuits.....whatever.   I love it!   :p
