Rough few days with a dam cold passed on from the kids. Felt bit poorly on Sat morning so skipped the circuit session in favour of still being alive to go to the test match. Sunday was rough and today no good either so have had to postpone legs plus my sunday run. Woe is me!
-
It does suck when you get super busy or crook - but a good idea to get yourself well before getting stuck back in. Good to see you had your priorities straight and went to the rugby!!

So realised last night that today was last day of the powerade challenge and I still hadn't puta tie on the board for the 9km. Second issue was that I hadn't run for over 3 weeks due to being sick and then too busy. <br />
<br />
So 8am this morning I was out there. First part out there was good and made the turn for home at 18.20 but got some nasty cramps on the way in and pretty much just hit the wall. Walked for 3 mins and then pushed on home in just over 42mins. Not too bad but wish I ad done it earlier as def have a sub 40min in me -

yeah rolling out hurts at the best of times!! after the run and that lighter work out your legs should be pumped in a couple of days. Balancing rest between intense cardio (running/sprints) and leg workouts can be tough. Sucks when you are amped for the gym or a run and your body just says NO!<br />
<br />
...but being men we just do it anyway!! -
