Saturday

cycled to the city (not far), did pilates class, cycled to uni (12 to 14 kms roughly).

Then did about four hours work before heading out for a run.

Walked to a nearby oval, did a few jogging laps and some dynamic stretching to warm up.

What I call dynamic stretches (whether that's what it is or not) was:

6 lunges, 6 controlled knee raises, 25 long strides, 25 but kicks, 25 strides jogging with knees as high as possible - all that X 3

Then 8 X 400 m intervals with walk recovery of 200 to 300 m.

Still found this hard but a bit better than last time. I think a better warm up helped and perhaps even having done some cycling helped.

Walked back to uni and meant to stretch a bit while I worked but I had a lot to do and wanted to finish so I kinda forgot! Opps!

Finished after 10 pm and cycled home. It's an easy cycle home mostly down hill. Pity I couldn't get home earlier though. I'd like to be able to get back into early mornings again but it's difficult when I finish late at uni.


Still loooooving the pilates! I've been told by one person already pilates is a girls thing but believe it or not it was developed by a male boxer!

It's makes it sooo much easier to feel when and which muscles are tight and to understand what pelvic stability is and how to maintain it. I'm a HUGE fan already!
