A very routine session...
Thursday 02/11/06:
Kept to the usual routine of doing a PM run while Courtney was at gymnastics. It was a lovely sunny afternoon and even at 6pm it was so pleasant to be out. Did the same loop I have been using around that area for a while, due to it being mainly flat and not wanting to overdo things. Also kept it to one (5km) loop and just a bit extra...
Brisk walk warmup: 3 mins
Easy paced run: 33mins (6km)
Brisk walk cooldown: 3mins
Just a very routine turning over of the legs really, nothing terribly exciting to report! Still some tiredness in the legs for sure, but no pain of any kind, so happy with that.
Did plenty of stretching afterwards and still managed to catch the end of the gym class, where they are practising for the end of year demonstration at prize-giving. Very cute!
Made some progress with getting onto a massage therapist in order to start getting a regular sports massage - have been given a recommendation by my physio of a lady who does "mobile" massage and at very reasonable rates. Will give her a call and attempt to book something for next week. Evidently she is very good, so maybe I will have to wait longer to get an appointment, but at least its a move in the right direction.
Friday will be a rest day, then I hope to run both Sat and Sun with at least one of those off-road, but we will see if time allows.

Yeah, get that regular massage going, I love 'em, which reminds me I need to book my next one :-)
So, with end of year gym demo coming up does that mean you are on costume duty, lycra, sequins, bleeding fingers :-)

Keep us informed of the sports massage. It is something I have considered doing when the km's pick up again.

All easy for another week or so, allow yourself to have 2-3 weeks easy and then start building again and refocus for the next goal.

Those short easy runs are so good for the legs when in recovery mode :) The regular massage is a good idea.
