Water Running and Real Running
Tempo session first thing this morning, didn’t bother with a warm up and cool down, just 60 minutes at a steady pace.

For my own amusement I counted the laps and by the end of the 60 minutes I had covered about 7.5Kms 750 meters. I had a massage straight after the pool session, still amazed at the number of tight spots cropping up with very little real running under my belt.

This afternoon I had a run/walk session, I am now up to 16 minutes running, that is walk 1 minute and run 4 minutes for 20 minutes. I covered about 2.8Kms while running and have so far clocked up about 4.7Kms worth of running this month :-)

So far so good, my legs are still behaving.

Between the pool, the massage and the real run I also popped into the Podiatrist to pick up my new orthotics. I had a bit of a walk in them at the clinic and they feel very very strange, which is about what I expected. Now I have to break them in for about a week to 2 weeks just walking about, then I am allowed to start running in them.

Here they are, I told you my arches were freakishly high :lol:

Short and sweet today.
