Wet Wednesday...
Wednesday 13/09/06:
Up at 5.30am again today, then realised that as the plan was only requiring a 35min jog (and even with a 5min walk each side) I could have got away with another 15mins or so in bed...
Didn't actually realise it till I went to go out the door, but it had been raining and the drizzle was just turning into quite a heavy shower... Ducked out without the jacket anyway, as it was quite warm and I just get too hot running in the Asics jacket.
Brisk walk warmup: 5mins
V. easy paced run: 35mins (6km)
I was running very slowly near the end, just to make up 35mins before I hit home, so didn't even bother with a walking cooldown - my pace by then was slower than my walking pace anyway.
The rain mainly let up after about 15mins, but at one stage I was head-on to the wind and rain and had to pull the visor of my cap down low, in order to see where I was going!
Next week I will be going back to my physio for a couple of sessions of work on my lower back, pelvis and buttocks! I still have a few free ACC sessions up my sleeve and as nothing else has presented itself for her to work on, she will do this to see if it makes any difference to my hamstring at all. She is not convinced that this is the cause, but as nothing else has really made a difference, we will give it a go. Shes promised not to go too hard on me!
Tomorrow will be an evening run - back into the routine of taking Courtney to gymnastics - and it will be good to do the loop x2 again - for a quickish 10kms. I intend to wear the Skins for the first time and see how they feel.

Not that they are a cure for a bad hammy by any stretch but you may find that the Skins do provide an extra level of support and help make your run more comfortable.
I felt heaps better than I normally would after speed work on tuesday night and I reckon it was down to the Skins, I hadn't worn them for speed work before.
