21km Run
http://runkeeper.com/user/adrianmiles/activity/24634278
2:06:05
Avg Pace: 5:59min/km
Good run, got to run over the new Iron Cove bridge, which altered my planned run a bit. Much better than my 5km on Friday!
Monthly Wrap Up:
Wk 1: 35.9km, Wk 2: 41.5km, Wk 3: 49.7km, Wk 4: 57.7km Total: 184.8km
Pretty happy with the start of the year. I think my best month in km's was 92.

12km Run

1:09:16
Avg Pace: 5:45min/km
Again took the Lunars for a spin. This time no problems at all. Band aids on where I had gotten blisters last time. And again, calf tightness. This is getting repetitive isn't it? ART tomorrow night will hopefully loosen them up for the next month.

1:14:22
Avg Pace: 5:42min/km
13km's in the Lunars, not a great idea. Could feel some heel issues again, blistered on right little toe. Still got out a few ok paced kms around the top of the bay. Can really feel the 36km's I've put in over three days. This was much more difficult than my 20 on Sunday.

6.5km Run
http://runkeeper.com/user/adrianmiles/activity/24102666
36:40
Avg Pace: 5:35min/km
Bit faster than I should have been going, but the legs felt pretty good after yesterdays 20km, so why not. Felt a bit fatigued (muscularly) around 4km. No heel issue, but ice bathing the feet again.
The ongoing saga between me and my lunaracers feels like it might be getting resolved. Put a little square of extra cushioning in the back of the right show and it seems much nicer. I think being in the Luna's is what had me running a little quicker. Still, the Nike Free Run+ did a pretty sweet job yesterday. Will continue to rotate. Want to get a new pair of Free 3.0's. Will need to dust off the piranhas every now and then too.
Pre: WPC, Creatine

Avg Pace: 5:50km
Felt pretty good. Need a calf work over though.
PM: 1.5hrs Yoga @ BodyMindLife, Rozelle. Actually pretty hard. felt a bit of DOMS from Sundays yoga - particularly through the hamstrings. Hopefully tonight worked a bit of that out, or maybe made it worse... Good day.

PM: Yoga @ BodyMindLife, Surry Hills, 1.5 hrs of sweatiness. Felt great afterwards.

9km Run
http://runkeeper.com/user/adrianmiles/activity/23328528
51:11
Avg Pace: 5:28min/km
Very humid and warm midday run around bicentennial park. Legs are definitely feeling the last few days and had to work pretty hard. Third day in a row of running which may well be a first for me. Have done 31km in three days whereas my average distances in the preceding 6 months were around 20km per week. What looked like being a horror week has turned out ok. Will put some easy km's in tomorrow to bump the week up to 40km and I'll be happy with that. No real long run though which is a shame. I know I wouldn't have coped well with the mountain run if I'd gone up, seeing as I was working hard just on the flat, but sucks that I missed it.

1:13.58
Avg pace: 6:11km/min
Avg HR: 147 (78%)
Max HR: 159 (84%)
Quite slow. Legs felt dead and heavy and couldn't really get any pace. Just want to keep getting the km's out. Hopefully will make my required 40km this week. Am missing the first Running Wild event for 2011 which sucks, but with the heel the way its been its not worth doing an unbelievably hilly 21km, possibly DNF or at least destroy my heel further. However, it is feeling pretty good now. Iced it before I ran and will ice again. Ran in old Free 3.0's and am getting some blisters in new places.. GPS went crazy and added an extra km - so no splits.

10km Run + KB Swings
AM: 20kg KB Swings. As many reps in 5mins
Reps: 130
Good way to get the HR up. Need more strength in shoulders and wrists. So humid.
MIDDAY: 5km http://runkeeper.com/user/adrianmiles/activity/23180221
Solid tempo, very hot midday run. Ran in old Nike Free 3.0 and felt pretty good.
PM: 5km http://runkeeper.com/user/adrianmiles/activity/23189400
Very slow pace, jogged while my wife rode. (She had a bit of difficulty negotiating the roads - doesn't help there's virtually no brakes) A bit of discomfort when I first put the shoes on (old Nike Free 3.0 again) Very sweaty day all up.

Achilles Bursitis
Self-diagnosed. Loads of ice. Don't know what I'm going to do with the shoes as it seems like they have directly caused the problem.

Ran in the Free's. Achilles was ok but just took it really easy, certainly not rubbing like in the Lunaracers. Legs felt a bit dead.

16km Long Run

1:34:55
Avg Pace: 6.02 min/km
Avg HR: 162 (86%)
Max Hr: 182 (96%)
Ashfield to Woolstonecraft. Good run, but had some problems with my feet and the new shoes. Big toes got pretty bad to the point where I had to stop to try and readjust the shoe on my right foot, problem was on the left too but to a lesser extent. Then towards the end my achilles was rubbing so badly on the back of my shoe that I had to take my shoes off to walk when I arrived home (Caught the train home). Disappointing as I like these shoes. I could feel that it was 'digging' in a bit when I first started. Will experiment with band aids and lacing technique.
Other than that a good run that I haven't done before. Got to go over both Anzac and Harbour Bridges, beautiful views of the harbour, some wicked hills right at the end. I've done 36km this week which was my target and probably the most I've done in a long time.

Kettlebell Strength Workout
10 Goblet Squats
5 Swings left
5 Front Squat/Push Press left
5 Snatches left
10 Push Ups
5 Swings right
5 Front Squat/Push Press right
5 Snatches right
Recover for 60 second and repeat for 3-5 rounds.
Only did 3 rounds with 20kg in the rain as its been a while and I don't want to get hit with too much DOMS. Good for the conditioning aspect as well which I like. Snatches felt much better and didn't bash my forearms around as much.

5km Tempo Run
http://runkeeper.com/user/adrianmiles/activity/22412212
24:25
Avg Pace: 4:52 min/km
First run in my new Nike LunaRacers which felt really nice. Maybe I should be a little ashamed of myself, but I actually really liked having a bit of cushioning! Compared to the Free's that I have been running in these are a lot more 'snug' but are a little lighter and a lot softer underfoot. I probably dont have the same proprioception as I would, but then I dont feel as much of a muscular shock through my lower legs either. Anyway, the real test will be on the weekend when I try do 16km.
Maybe its the novelty of new shoes but I just felt comfortable and when my runkeeper app said the first km was under 5min I thought I'd have a hit at a tempo run instead of the easy km's that I had planned. Good run with some impressive (for me) sub-5min splits.

Kicking off 2011 with an easy 5km and some new tracking software. Some tightness left ITB and still some soreness in right shin which came from nowhere a week ago. Acupuncture tomorrow and then another massage later in the week. Trying to find some good therapists to work with.
