5km | easy | no watch Week 2 of 13 Yep that's three days running in a row for me. Another minor milestone in my short and so far unremarkable running crusade. Lessons learnt ? I was feeling fresh and bouncy on Tuesday night so I decided in my wisdom to go out hardish for the scheduled 5kms. No problems usually but rather than having a day (or two) off before my next run, I was due to run the following two days. Yes, I should have taken it easy in my first busy week in a new program. Doh ! Second mistake was doing intervals in the dark on the uneven surface of Queens Park. I don't think that it did my ankles any favours. Subsequently, my shins were a little cranky with me last night and some urgent attention of ice and voltaren gel was required on my return. I'm feeling OK this morning apart from general fatigue in the ankles and most muscles below the knees. I'm due to run 7km on Saturday and 8km on Sunday which leads into a light week before the Sydney Striders 10km at Olympic Park. I might move these runs to afternoon to give the old legs an extra 12 hours to recover. We're heading up to my Dad's at Umina in the morning for the weekend, so I'll do my runs up there. Should I venture over to Ourimbah on Sunday morning and run part of the Orchard Run with a constellation of CoolRunners ? No, that would be the third mistake in a week. One threepeat is enough I think! ==================== EDIT: I forgot its FAT FRIDAY.
