16.5km | Easy Week 6 of 11 I met Dawn Runner & Blkbox bright and early on Saturday for our C2S training run. This week we decided to run out towards Vaucluse including Heartbreak Hill. It seemed to be the walking wounded, Blkbox has had a tummy bug all week, Dawn Runner hadn't been doing much lately and was missing some serious mojo and I was still wheezing and coughing a bit and also hadn't been doing much of late. We worked our way up along Centennial Park and down to Edgecliff and along New South Head Road to Rose Bay. There we stood at the foot of Heartbreak Hill and ambled up. This is where Blkbox's tummy bug caught up with him so with him cramping a bit we had a stop/start affair going up the hill. I didn't find it all that bad but admit that I was sucking in the big ones by the time I reached the top. From Vaucluse we took the downhill route to Rose Bay and then up to Bellevue Hill. Here the cramps haunted Blkbox again so we took it pretty easy through Bondi and back down the Queens Park. Heading up Birrell Street past Waverley College, I noticed my right calf complaining a bit and stopped and stretched. It seems that whatever stretching I did at that point stuffed my achilles because I am now limping about (groan). Hopefully this achilles strain will sort itself out with ice, massage and voltaren quickly so that I can do a few runs this week leading up to Striders on the weekend. It's funny how I overcome one problem and then another one presents itself promptly just to keep life interesting. Mood: --->
