Distance: 1219 m
Time: 00:36:53

Took awhile to get into rhythm but once I found it I started to get bad chaffing around the neck and aborted the swim. I know weak excuse!.our ride but forced myself out and took it easy. Started to feel better after 45 minutes.

Well yesterday was my first day sparring since I went back,I actually sparred a nice guy,about my height, maybe a bit taller,much more experienced,but lighter,he was just toying with me the first round,after that I menaged to land a few good punches.

 

[Kiwong]

Athletics champs today. I did 5000, 100, 800, 200, 1500, 400. All very slow, much slower than at the same stage lasy year, but my back held up well.

Nice Kiwong, was this at a track? Do you run with spikes?

 

[maiato]

I had stopped doing exercise for a long time. but the last time I went to a routine was terrified with the weight I gained in just one year, almost 10kg's!

so I decided to start slowly (not anything serious will happen) this week: 1 - 2 hours to walk outdoors.

I confess that in the early days cost up early enough, but now I am anxious that the morning comes, to leave home. The next step is to go swimming again, possibly next month.

Worst of all is when I go home. doing so proves that exercise is one of the best things for anxiety, at least for a while.

Type: Outdoor Run (Night)
Distance: 16.00 km
Time: 01:29:47
Pace: 5:36 min/km

Been on my feet all day doing house work followed by my long run at 7pm. I'm going to sleep well tonight. Oh yeah never had I experienced chaffing under the armpits until now, not nice!

 

[Kiwong]

Chafing under the armpits, Replica. Ouch, that's got to hurt. I'm getting chafing from my shorts at the moment.

I wore my Nike Matumbo Spikes for the 100, 200, 400, and my Brooks ST-4 racers the other events.

I'm going to confess that after my cross trainer broke, I was supposed to do walking as my cardio. But I've only done it a couple of times since. Two reasons are because the weather is foul and I don't like the people and cars watching me walk around. I know it's not an excuse. I'm disappointed in myself. I'm considering buying a jumprope and using that as cardio but not sure if I'm fit enough to do that for 20-30 minutes straight or if my joints can handle it.

But I'm still doing the strength stuff and still making improvements there.

 

[AsTimeBurns]

I've done one short bike ride on a bike machine in about 3 months.

 

[Deus_Ex_Lemur]

Cardio - early interval training - around area - walk at a high pace and moments of running sprinting for 30-40 minutes today. Couldnt get to gym.

This week is my recovery week so I didn't feel so bad missing my 40 minute run this morning however couldn't skip my ride after work so here it is.

Wednesday 2nd March

Type: Indoor Lap Swimming (Evening)
Distance: 2000 km
Time: 01:05:00

It's heaps better when the lanes aren't busy, felt like I did better today but then *pop* my goggles broke at the nose piece! Tried to swim without goggles but didn't feel safe swimming blind. Someone kindly let me use their spare goggles for the night. Did an extra 200m at the end to make up the lost laps during the session.

this week I had no time to go ,had to do something everyday,only 3 days left if I am free I will try to go everyday.::

Yesterday I ran 2 miles with the least pain I've had in the last year and a half. I think my shin is improving and I may actually be back in full force sometime soon. I won't go all out until I'm positive my shin is a 100%.

It turns out I was told the secret to healing a torn muscle in the shin or ankle area in high school. I remember a guy told me to keep running on it, even if it hurts. Rest wasn't the answer. The pain sucks, but if you don't go through enough pain, it will never heal if the tear is bad enough.

This is fantastic because I was getting to the point where I seriously thought I was done for life. I have never had an injury that lasted as long as this one did, not even close. But now, I believe I'll be back. Maybe this could work out better than before, because now I appreciate having a healthy shin and will work harder than I did before and will get more exercise out of it. I have some guys I want to beat in some 5k races that I've been waiting to get a shot at, and it looks like I'll get my chance to cross the finish line in first place, just like the good 'ol days in high school.

[eek]

I am two holds away on my training board from being able to pull up on all. The two remaining looks impossible-- a 45 degree sloper (more like a slippery slab).

 

[Kiwong]

16km 84:54. Endurance is slowly returning. Still I have a long way to return to full fitness

Thursday 3rd March

Type: Outdoor Run (Morning)
Distance: 6.74 km
Time: 0:32:47
Pace: 4:51 min/km

Even though it's a recovery week I decided to push a little above my normal pace. Haven't done a 'short' quick run in awhile. Felt alright actually, average heart rate was 155 (83% of MHR).

Type: Outdoor Ride (Evening)
Distance: 35.47 km
Time: 1:25:13
Speed: 25.0 km/h

90 minute easy spin. Had to keep reminding myself it's OK to ride slow and not to be tempted to push it when someone passes me. Only problem about riding slow is I tend to get bad saddle sores but apart from that it was very enjoyable

 

[Kiwong]

12km 57:21. Atrcious weather conditons. Torrential rain, the cycle path was more like a river, with standing water and rapids. I finished and looked down with a blood running down my thighs and my socks pink from the bleeding chafing on my thighs. Might've been a fair bit quicker without the rain.

12km (5:03, 4:47, 4:44, 4:53, 4:51, 4:59, 4:35, 4:45, 4:50, 4:42, 4:44, 4:35)

Last 5km 23.24 @ 4:42 Last 10km 47:35 @ 4:45
