Wet and wild

Started the day with a massage with Easy Tiger in town. Wasn't too bad, although I seem to be tending toward some issues with the inside of the calves, which may be following on from some slight weakness in the adductors - imagine slight bowlegedness, if you will. Suggestion - plenty of squats, particularly one legged and on the bosu board. Been meaning to drag that back out, tough with these cold mornings, though...

Shocker of an evening for training over at Kensington, with wind and light rain that eventually turned pretty heavy. Considering the rain during the day it wasn't too bad underfoot, although there is a patch at the north end that is starting to get gooey under foot.


Got through a cool and breezy warm up, and feel particularly wooden through the drills. Schedule was 3 x 1200, which went 4:18, 4:14 and 4:08. Slower than the last 12oos I ran which were off the back of a 2400, but given the proximity to Gold Coast and the atrocious conditions, to be expected, I guess, and it was good to push home in the last rep.

It proceeded to absolutely tip down two laps into the cool down. Mohammed and I had finished earlier than most of the squad, who whilst they had completed their intervals, were condemned to a very wet cool down. Kids, this is why you do your cool down as soon as you can...
