Just a jog....

Wednesday 04/10/06:
Was not feeling 100% this morning, so a good thing the plan was only calling for a 35min jog!
Didn't head off till 6.15am - also a good thing that I had a bit of extra time up my sleeve, due to Courtney spending the day with her Dad today for the school holidays.
Had rained overnight again and although that had stopped, it was rather nippy out.

Brisk walk warmup: 5mins
Easy paced run: 36mins (6.5km)

Today I have noticed a slight tightness in the muscle behind/beside my knee. Luck would have it that I have a physio session tomorrow and once a week from now till the Auck Half, just to keep the legs loose and to deal with any niggles that may crop up, like this one.

Pending getting that sorted tomorrow, I have pretty much made up my mind that I will do the 10km race on Sunday 15th. Have been thinking about it and considering I have had some fast 10km training runs in my build-up, I don't consider doing this race two weeks out from the half will have any negative effect. As suggested, I will keep the rest of that week fairly easy, but will not be losing any fitness by doing so when it is that close anyway.

Good thing is that my little toe seems to be completely cured now. It is no longer sore at all, just looks a bit mottley and brown on the nail, but doesn't seem to be going anywhere! Spoke too soon when I gloated on the Ausrun forum a while back that I had "model feet" despite being a runner!
