Looks like rain...

Drenched this morning on our easy run to UQ. 12ks about 1hr.

Have been getting shin soreness on the left side over the last few weeks & a tight calf. My running action doesn't quite feel right either. But I think my weekly regime is catching up with me - 2 speed sessions & a long run. Need to drop a speed session (Fridays) & build up longer, slower runs during the week - at least 4 runs a week as well.

Finished last Friday's session with more pronounced soreness. Ran 3x 1k mixed in with 2x 500m. 3.17 first k but started to rapidly tire & relinquished my 2nd position to Pete who tried to gee me up but to no avail.

Tues before ran 1 min & 30 sec efforts in the Gardens. This was fronting up after Monday's 10k bushwalk in Binna Burra & Sunday's 90 min effort (first 60 with Tenz before dropping him off). At work on Tues I got up from the desk & my lower back was sore. Lumbar muscles that continued to stiffen. Got home later, put a heat pack on. Wed better. Weird.

Anyway, Tues is time trial so will go hard but I think the body wants either time off or reduced intensity. Don't want an injury at this stage.
