Week 5...
23/6 – 22k Easy cruise. 2hr 26sec. 222m gain.Today was a super buzy day at work with new processes going in place and a heap of work ahead of us. It was great and made the day pass quickly. This mornings run was a good hit out and pretty stock standard these days. I was pretty stoked considering my big week last week. My left butt cheek was pretty sore though due to my stack efforts yesterday! Classic! I also ran this morning in Altra Superiors 2014 model and SOCKS! Shock horror! I still have a little soreness in my foot so just want to be sure that my foot isn’t injured. Better to be safe than sorry!24/6 – AM - 20k Standard pretty run out to Palmwoods. 1hr 49min 19sec. 296m gain.PM – 3k Check out some trail. 18min 4sec. 119m gain.This mornings run was a pretty stock standard effort with no real problems. It is so pretty running the back way to Palmwoods, nice and quite with hardly any traffic. Today at work it was full on all day and it really drained me so I headed out for a little afternoon shake out. I felt pretty weary, but didn’t realise the elevation I got over such a short distance. Pretty happy with that. I am well and truly on track this week for my Run for the Sun goals and I just need to keep chipping away through the week as I want to have the base of my k’s done before the weekend and when we move. Exciting times!25/6 – 21k Easy backup. 1hr 57min 42sec. 297m gain.I took it nice and easy this morning on my run due to running twice yesterday. All went well and pretty uneventful outing, which was nice. Cruised along. Today was also a beautiful day and I enjoyed it a lot. Everything is happening with the big move pending which is exciting but apart from that, business as usual. Blessed day.26/6 – 21k COLD cruise. 1hr 57min 39sec. 332m elevation.This morning was COLD! SNAP! So so cold! I got a real nice run in though and am actually really enjoying the new Altra Superiors on the road with some socks! Thanks again to Injinji Performance Products for hooking a brother up! Awesome online store yall should check out. The rest of the day was good however I am getting pretty drained at work due to these new procedures. Looking forward to the end of the week and getting settled into our new place. I had a super productive arvo too getting the house sorted before we ship out. Should be a super fun weekend ahead. Love it!27/6 – 20k Quick leg turnover. 1hr 47min 56min. 218m elevation.Todays run was fun and a little tough too! I head out pretty easy as it was COLD again! I focused on my leg turnover on the uphills, ensuring I maintained the same cadence as the flats and downs. I turned around and head for home and slowly picked up the pace. With 5k to go, I really tried to keep a good solid pace which I was really happy with three quarters of the way through a decent run and at the back of a reasonably big week. I clicked over some good k’s and finished strong. Happy with the run. I was pretty drained at work and it has been a big week. I am pretty darn stoked to see the back of it and enjoy the weekend. I just relaxed at home this arvo and tonight ready for some more running on the weekend and our move. Can not wait!!!28/6 – 15km Last loop of Kiel Mountain. 1hr 22min 54sec. 335m elevation.29/6 – 22km Up Buderim, down to Mooloolabah and back. 2hr 1min 8sec. 345m elevation.The last two days have been ridiculously hectic! We moved house on Saturday and started unpacking……and continued into Sunday, and the rest of the week no doubt! It has been tiring and pretty stressful and I am pretty over it but it has to be done. On a running front, I got a good easy 15k in Saturday morning around my little Kiel Mountain loop. Beautiful morning out. This morning, I went from our new house and did a great run up Buderim and down to Mooloolabah. I then returned my same journey. This was a nice run and might become one of my favourites! It has been another big week of running and I only have to make up a short run tomorrow to make my goal of 500k for June! So so stoked with that! Apart from not having gas on at our new house yet (AH!) it is super nice and should be a lot of fun living here! Great week, good times ahead in Buderim!Weeks Total – 144.1km. 13hr 14min. 2162m elevation gain.
