Running
10Km in 53:31, average pace 5:20
This was another cheats rest with yesterday’s run being first thing in the morning and today’s starting at almost 18:00. It was cool enough this evening to head out, I took myself on a bit of a tour of the streets around Blackburn Lake and the Creeklands so there was plenty of shelter.
My calves were still a little tender after last nights massage so I took it easy and tried to avoid any hills. Also on advice from my MT I iced my right achilles for about 15 minutes after I finished. No major issue there, just sightly tender as a result of the tight calf muscle.
Why Tough Times?
Because I have just survived the obligatory 4 days of cranky bum PMT WITH NO CHOCOLATE, you heard right NO BLOODY CHOCOLATE. Surely that is a breach of the Geneva Convention! But, frankly if I started eating the stuff I would not have stopped so I just resisted, with every fibre of my being 
Tomorrow is a bit of a tradition, a guy I work with has a birthday near mine so we always go out to David Jones and buy the biggest yummiest most fantastic cake we can find and share it with everyone in the office. So now you can see why I worked so hard to resist the monthly PMT chocolate pigout, because tomorrrow I get cake and I love cake. And rest assured Phil and I have been engrossed in a great deal of deliberation this week on exactly which cake we will get. The front runners at the moment are Hummingbird Cake (my personal favorite) and Banana Cake, I’ll let you know tomorrow 
Oh yum, Daniel Vettori was just on the news, I am a sucker for a guy with glasses, he needs to lose the beard that he has right now though. I for one, will never be accused of having consistent taste in men
