On Running
Based on the stats above, it looks like I'm pretty much back at pre-injury running pace.  I was at 8" working my way down to 7:45" when I got wiped out for a whole year.
 
On Physiotheraphy
It was my last session at Physiotheraphy this morning. I have been discharged on the condition that I do strength work in addition to running.  One of the counter staff quipped, "You won't have to wake up early anymore on Saturdays," for the 8 a.m. ACL class.  Ehh...actually, I wake up even earlier to run.  I've been trying to build up the the vastus medialis muscle and one of the therapists showed me a wall squat to do. 

Appointment with an Osteopath, Friday, 25 Sep 09

I went to see an Osteopath for the third time and things seem a lot better in terms of how I don't have shin splints anymore.  However, my muscles were a bit tight from the slopes training on Thursday (24 Sep 09).  The Osteopath showed me some stretches to do in addition to the ones she had shown me at earlier appointments.  She said I could stop doing heat/ice packs my shin since it doesn't hurt anymore.  She said I will only need one more appointment then I won't need to see her anymore.  I like it when things are finite, it means I am getting better.
 
 
 

Monotony at the Track, Thursday 24 Sep 2009

Warm Up
- 3 laps - I walked a little bit while doing warm up cos I was running so slowly that it was walking pace of the lady next to me
 
Training
- Stride 200m, Jog 200m, Stride 200m, Walk 200m

- Reality: My muscles were aching and I got so bored I stopped after 4 sets and jogged around the track for about 11 mins
 
Warm Down
- The usual warm down
 
Comments
- An uninspired run this evening, saved only by the company of nice folks

"Cross Country" - 22 September 2009

We went to the nearby garden to run slopes.
 
Warm Up
- 1 round of 1.1 km slopes
 
Training
- 1 round x 4 sets of 1.1 km slopes, 2 min rest after each round
 
Warm Down
- the usual
 
Comments
It was very dark in the garden and I tried to run near the path lights.
 
It's my first time on slopes since surgery and I got applause when I finished, to which I replied half-in-jest, "I'm just going to that corner to cry now".
 
I was very tired but happy.  My strength and stamina is coming back, I am runnng pain free.
 
Last night I drank water instead of sports drink because I'm trying to reduce my consumption of sugar and carbs.  This morning when I weighed myself, I had dropped 1.2 kg.  Believe it or not.

Have not been running

Thurs, 3 Sep
- Did not go for track training as I went to see an Osteopath and she wanted me to stop running for a few days
 
Sat, 5 Sep
- Did not do long run
 
Tues, 8 Sep
Thurs, 10 Sep
- Did not go for track training as I was down with fever since Sunday and have been put on 2 courses of anti-biotics for Tonsilitis.  Running and anti-biotics doesn't seem like a good idea.
 
 
I'm getting worried for my 10km run and half marathon in Nov and Dec respectively.   Haven't been clocking mileage.
