2 runs logged

Well, not an ideal week, though it is difficult to log my runs from the soccer training when the the runtastic app doesn't work and it is difficult to get a exact distance and time when you do intervals. I guess I did four or five on tuesday on a 30 min. interval session with God knows how many during playing. Though I did run for almost an hour then. On a synthetic pitch. Which, for the second time in a row, didn't go well for my lower calf. This time it was my left achilles.

I had to take Wednesday off because of that and taped my leg for thursday when I lead two groups of the soccer kids to some stair running, I did two 30 min session taking it easy with first group since I didn't want to aggravate the leg. I did get carried away with the second group and ended up doing a few sprint duels with them. It was fun, but I really felt my hamstrings on friday so I struggled through a sluggish 10K. They felt thight and I generally felt wooden and slow.

Today I skied about 6 K's which was quite an effort because of poor technique and not being used to skiing. A great exercise and I'll feel my shoulders and triceps tomorrow. After that I spent most the soccer training using the vocal chords with only a few minutes joining the kids on the warming up and cooling down.

Then I had a meeting in the city centre and thought I'd squeeze in a run. I ran the same route as friday, but this time I was flying. But after the meeting my lower calf felt raw and fearing a strain I walked most of the 2 K's back.

Hopefully I'll get more mileage next week, I'm aiming for a 60K week and hopefully I'll get some good long runs on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. perhaps 15, 15 and 20, because I think I'll get 10 K's in the training on Tuesday and Thursday.
