fitness: 30min run

distance: 4.48 km, time: 00:30, pace: 06:41, effort: 4/5, feeling:3/5, calories: 389
Still not quite as fast as I’d like, and a bit puffy today. I think 3 days a week is better for improving, but I’m just easing in to it so I don’t hurt myself again.
Next week I should be up for 3 runs per week again, and I should see more improvement. But otherwise, I’m quite happy with this – no pain, reasonable rhythm.

Back on shorter runs so I can get back to running three times a week without lasting pain. Once I’m there, I’ll work on increasing the distance/time again. Today was good: no cramps, no pain, and I ran evenly and well the whole time. Not as far as I’d like to run, but a _good_ run. We’ll see how the knee/ankle/foot/hip combo fairs after this.
(5min warm up, 5min warm down in addition)

Cramps! Cramps! All that work in yoga yesterday probably contributed to calf cramps.
I’m back to 30min runs because I want to build up again slowly. It feels a bit poo to only run 4.7k, but it feels much worse to nurse all those aches and pains from pushing it too far.
It might have been a short run, but my knees and hips and so on are still feeling good, post-run.

interesting reading

An interesting article about governance and the importance of independence for archivists and librarians.
And one about Australian indigenous knowledge and libraries.
It’s bits of research like this that give me the strength to continue my course, despite the terribly poor scholarship of some of the assigned readings. Information management is actually interesting.
