Oh Hi!!!!!

Sorry for the delay.  I went out for a run on Saturday and I've just got back................ *POOF* Wakes up *POOF*.

Yeah, sorry for that I have been tired and grumpy and you'll see why.  I have been recovering [from a hangover I hear someone from the back shout, but no] from my first INJURY!!!! AAARRRGGGHHH!  Was actually fairly worried as I haven't played rugby for a few years now and have since softened up even more than I was. It was really really smarting and thought I was going to be out for ages.  Fear not though my dear readers as I'm pounding again!!! STOP IT, I'm pounding the pavement.  Get your mind out of the gutter!

Ok, so a weekend, albeit delayed, in review.

05 Aug 48mins Easy flat COMPLETE but slow joe was Hooroo!!!  Really was a plod

06 Aug 48mins Hills COMPLETE A tough hill run but done effectively

07 Aug 48mins Hills COMPLETE!!!!! BEST RUN EVER!!!!!!!!  Exactly the same as the day before but boy-O-boy was I driving it Waikato, well not Waikato this season, but Driving it Waikato like the Season they won a game!!!!  Really upped the pace up and down the hills and nothing could stop me.  Still buzzing from it and it was nearly a week ago

09 Aug 110mins Hills INCOMPLETE!!!! Yes, 2 incomplete long runs in a row.  I was over at The Mount for the weekend and was on the second lap of the Mountain and both my calf muscles went at the same time!!!  I could feel something was wrong but there is usually something a bit sore when running and it usually goes away but I was plodding away and within two steps both went pop pop.  FANG it hurt man!!! Naturally I crouched down into a ball and started to weep uncontrollably... nah, but I was ticked off!!  Thing was, I was passing a couple of real bunnies when it happened and I just stopped dead and was staring at them like a right noddy.  Anyway, after I waved them by I limped back to the car.

So not a successful weekend but the good thing is, they've come right and I'm running again, a little tentatively but still running.  Weekend picked up though as I  met a chick who dug me and we're off on a date on Friday... again at The Mount so will run there on Saturday morning this weekend.

Righto this week I have:

12 Aug 48mins Easy flat
13 Aug 42mins Hills
14 Aug 48mins Hills
16 Aug 120mins Hills

Hoping there isn't a hitch with the run on Saturday.  Looking forward to it though.

OK then, good luck for the All Blacks against the Springboks and come on Waikato, surely you can beat Manawatu.

Hope you all have a good week and I will try and prevent a delay for next weeks review.

Ciao
