Too much DJing, not enough dancing. Boo.
But felt ridiculously tired – think I’m _still_ (despite earlier evidence to the contrary) fighting the last grains of that cold.
fitness: dance work
feeling: good, duration: :00,
Steady, solid work. Still have crappy cold and blocked ears, so breathing got a bit difficult. But the rest of me is ready to get running again!
fitness: a nice walk
distance: 3.5km, feeling: great, effort: 2/5
No exercise since last week, after a weekend away. Fighting the last bits of a crappy cold – the first since I started running months and months ago! But this was such a beautiful day, I just had to walk.

I’ve come down with a crappy cold, but it didn’t stop me doing dance work. Which is either a sad indication of how little effort I put into it, or a glorious testament to my awesomeness. Or the awesomeness of cold and flu tablets.
Also: hamstrings. Sore in so many ways.

Better time, better distance. But dealing with a nasty knot of cramp in my left calf which started on Sunday during dance work. Will rest and stretch, rest and stretch.
Got puffed, got snotty (it’s spring!), but think I’ve finally ditched that annoying slumpy bug that was bringing me down. All-strong, all the time from now on.

Slow, steady, nothing exciting. Developed knot in left calf at end of session
fitness: social dancing
duration: 1:30, feeling: good
Social dancing. More vigorous at the beginning, less exciting as things progress.

Nice – windy and sunny and warm

Had some minor knee aches yesterday and thought perhaps I shouldn’t do the 20min running block of wk5r3 today, but I couldn’t help myself. Will see if I pay for this. Think knee pain is related to failure to do knee exercises on weekend. Bad, bad elite athlete.
Found the longer block fine, though I worked a bit harder than I thought I would. Overall, I’m fitter than I was the first time I did this, but I have lost a lot of fitness since I finished c25k the first time
