Tuesday 21 June - 25min run; 4.11kms (6.08min/km pace); 6.30pm
An 8am meeting meant that I had to do move my usual morning run to the evening. I decided to wimp out of going out into the cold so I headed to the gym.
Started out very slow but gradually increased the pace so the last 4mins were at 5.30min/km pace. I was getting a little tired and bored about half way but then it occurred to me that I was running easily and pain free. After that realisation, I was a very happy gal and the rest of the run seemed easy. I could have kept going but I have promised myself that I will obey the 10% rule (well, at least until the C2S). Although my shins were pain-free during the run, I iced them when I got home just to be sure. So far, so good. I am a very happy gal !
Wednesday 22 June - 45min spin class; 7.15am
My "killer quads" did not feel very happy this morning. Monday's weight session and Tuesday night's run left my quads feeling very tired and heavy this morning. It took about 10mins before I started to feel strong again. Another tough session with the Satanic Spin Instructor. Unfortunately my gym has decided to not only reduce the number of spin classes but to make all classes only 30mins (grrr). While the gym is adding pilates (which I love and swear by), I'm not quite sure how I am going to add an extra spin class (given that I've been doing 2 x 45min class a week) not to mention a pilates class....yikes !
Edit: have moved my session with Satan today to tomorrow night so that I can have lunch with Mr Jen today. Can you blame me ? :-D :-D

Glad to hear the orthotics and new shoes are working. Don't go mad now.. slowly and steadily is the way to pain free running! Just wish I'd follow my own advice...
Hi Jen_runs!
wanted to scream out hi at Nowra on the weekend but having never met you b4 that might be a little weird that and having no breath!
Cheers Run2Become
It will be good to meet you Jen_runs.
I should look something like the picture of me on my Blog.
See on the Gold Coast.
