Yeah, yeah, two posts in two days

So, did the pilates class yesterday (substitute instructor who wasn't quite as tough as the usual one, but certainly very easy to look at) which was fine, considering I hadn't been for two weeks while we were interstate. The real trick is going to be getting myself there on Saturday morning to double up.

Also walked the around 8km home from St Leonards, which included some very limited jogging. I use River Road, and cut through Hodgson Park, which cuts through to the top of Tambourine Bay (veterans of the Striders' Ten Bridges run will know it). Hodgson Park has a great little technical single track through it, with a nice soft leaf surface with rocks and tree roots to make sure you're paying attention. It's only 700 metres or so, but I can never help myself through there, I have to run it - it's great fun. Part of the thing that's really got me ticked off with not running is not being able to get out and do some trail running - always puts a smile on my face. I live pretty close to the Great North Walk, where it starts to get interesting, and I've really been hanging out to put on a backpack and disappear up there for a few hours.

Got on the scales - 82.4kg. Work to be done there, but I just need to be disciplined with food and stay off the grog. I need to be under 75kg before I start up again, the less weight the better.

Woke up this morning with some pain at the top of the right femur - it's interesting that I'm not getting the pain or 'unstable' feeling through the right adductor or down the centre of the right thigh anymore. I think the osteitis pubis has backed off considerably, but there is another problem in the right hip joint, either in the joint itself or the surrounding connective tissue.

I'll start back on the joint food tonight, and see how that goes. Can't hurt.
