I am a girlie !!
Thursday 06/07/06:
Definately colder again this morning, but dry roads, lots of stars above and I could even hear a rooster crowing in the distance! Maintained a nice steady, comfortable pace throughout today, at least it was comfortable cardio wise. But by the return trip, my legs were feeling anything but comfortable! Not only was my r. hammy very tight again (prob due to the colder temp) but my l. inner ankle/shin was also very sore (prob where physio worked yesterday) not to mention my calves being tender (definately where physio worked yesterday!) and to top it off, my r. knee has been niggly and I've never, ever had knee problems before! I tell you, if I was a horse they'd definately have to shoot me! Will have a rest day tomorrow and get the physio to take a look at it too, as it is still sore at times (even without movement) and seems very "clicky" on the kneecap. Hate those days when things just don't feel right, but putting most of it down to the treatment from the physio yesterday...
Brisk walk warmup: 5mins
Steady paced run: 30mins (6kms)
Brisk walk cooldown: 5mins
Even though I have run the same 6km route 3 days in a row, every day has felt different and I don't get bored! Mind you I have varied the pace each day and I always manage to experience some little thing that makes each run unique. Today it was this:
As I was running along one of the main roads, which is still rather dark at 6am even with street lights, I could see two cyclists coming towards me. I was on the footpath by then, them on the road. As we drew almost even, one called out to me "Too cold out here for the girlies today mate!" It took me a second to digest what he'd said and by then I'd called back "Morning guys!"
I'm sure at the sound of my voice, one almost fell off his bike!! Not that I can blame him for his mistake, I probably do like like a man what with my black beanie pulled low and I have very short hair right now! But I definately had the last laugh at his rather sexist comment!! ;-)

LOL - I look like a boy when I am running, less than impressive measurements coupled with compression crop top do not flatter :-),though one kind soul told me once that if all boys looked like me he would be gay. Weird compliment but I'll take it!

LOL :oD your post makes me chuckle... I once got followed by a police car while running because I looked a bit suss in my black beanie, black tights and dark top, But I did have a reflective vest on! :oD
