Didn’t Stop me

Filed under: Uncategorized — emruns @ 9:05 pm

There was a little horse race on in Melbourne today so a lovely public holiday for me :-)

Apparently it’s the race that stops a nation, though I must confess that I was probably dozing on the couch at the time and I can’t remember having ever seen a running of the cup, horse racing doesn’t do it for me really, apart from the day off that is.

And considering I probably was sleeping at the time I suppose that invalidates my post title too.

I got my B12 shot yesterday morning, though it’s still going to be a week or so before I start to really feel better. I also had another dose of shock wave therapy on my hamstring tendon, I’ve got another injection and shock wave session tomorrow morning.

Running is pretty much just maintenance at the moment because I am so wiped out. Sunday morning was a rather horrible 15km slog, gross, kept getting a stitch, couldn’t breathe properly and just generally horrible. Monday I ran 9km at Lysterfield, quite humid and I slogged around slower than usual. Today it was 2 minute hill reps at Jell’s park, 6 in total, not fantastic but not too bad.

I am off to Cairns on Thursday morning, definitely planning on running while I am there but I’ll take each day as it comes. I am due an easier week anyway so I’ll do what I feel like, get a heap of rest in and hopefully these B12 shots will have kicked in by the time I get back.

Wow, very uninspiring at the moment, I want my mojo back!
