Time flies
It's been a busy week with a couple of days in Wagga and I've been keeping up some activity.Thursday night was stroke correction at the pool and there are definite signs of improvement. I might actually get above a snails pace one day.
Friday I tried out my first 8/12 session. See discussion here. A tough session and I had to resort to counting strides to get the timing right. Felt like I'd done a good workout afterwards and it was a good way of testing out my hip which didn't object to the faster pace either.
Last night it was Razor's 30th birthday party which involved eating lots of Lebanese food and socialising with runners and non-runners alike. I managed to fall over at the end of the evening and managed to scrape my toe, and bruise my knee and hip as well as tip red wine on myself. I hadn't even been drinking that much, just missed a step!
Ellie and I had arranged to meet at the park at 7.30 for a run. I wasn't sure what the hip would be up for but managed an hour and 9km at a nice leisurely pace around the park. We put on some vanity fartlek when we passed the squad although we agreed we were probably wasting our energy as our surge would still seem extremely slow to them!
Hip held up pretty well, it's not 100% but each run seems to be less sore. Easy does it for another week or so and then I should be OK. It's another busy week this week, with a dash to Brisvegas tomorrow and then off to Perth for a few days on Tuesday. I will attempt to keep up the exercise and the blog!

echoing my friend who has commented above today was a good run! :)
seriously thanks for keeping me honest and keeping me company. a lifesaver!
(and lucky you had a black top on - no one noticed the red wine!!)
Glad to hear that your hip held up well, despite the fall ;-)
Have a great week - might be time to schedule a PG trip to the Lindt cafe next week...
Nice to see that your injuries are slowly getting better. Glad your fall didn't do any further damage, and that your went well this morning.
The 8/12 discussion has really fired up on CR, interesting to read :-)
What a tradgedy - wasting wine like that....
Nice run Ellie - hope the hip holds up ;-)
I'm glad last nights mishap didn't cause to much damage. I must say you handled it with grace. See you soon.
Don't blame the step. I saw you trying to throw red wine on that Greek floosy.
A pity you didn't do it whilst running - would have made a great CR falling down story.
Interesting you could get through the 8/12 session - it sounds edgy for injuries. Good luck with it. I'll wait to hear the 'experiment of one' results :)
Vanity Fartlek,
Very nice style that!
I bet they were probably fooled anyway!
Have fun out on your road trips!

"vanity fartlek" i love that!
thank your for your comments on my blog regarding intervals, it really got me thinking more and I am going to arrange my schedule so I do them on a day when i can get to the track in daylight.
Good to see the hip is OK. Best of luck with the 8/12 routine. It will be interesting to see the results.
Unlike Ewen you know the proper place to fall down is at a party not on the track.
Fingers crossed with your hip mate! Fingers crossed!
It can be tough, but good to hear you fit some training amongst the socialising and work! Happy travelling.
Pity Brissie was just a fleeting visit, hope you get to stay a little longer next time so we girls can catch up for coffee or a wine. We promise to take you somewhere without steps ;-)
Lulu you would probably beat me in the pool these days - its been so long since I've dipped a toe, let alone get in and swim.
Hope the hip continues to behave....

I like the 8/12 session on the stationary bike, Lulu. My lower back hated it when I tried it while running!
Yeh, time flies, about time we got an update (pot calling kettle black).
