A 13km run this morning before it started to bucket down.
Thursday I got in a couple of miles hiking in the afternoon plus a 4.25 mile trail run in the evening. Friday morning I ran 3.25 miles on the same trail and a short hike.
Put the martini on the bench, and lift the bench without spilling the martini (whitch should be full).
So I did this 15km trail race this morning but either got a bad case of cramp or tweaked a hamstring at around the 13km mark :(. Still managed a 75min finish but will have to take things easy over the next week. I don't want to ruin my trail running weekend at the end of the month.
A good mate of mine who was also supposed to run at the end of the month had a bad MTB fall on Thursday and cracked 3 ribs. So that has put paid to his trail running weekend.
This afternoon I went for a 7 mile trail run. It was a warm day so the second half of the run was rough.

Shoulder wasn't helping this arvo. Finally went to the docs and got scan results back. There is a bursa at the top of the capsule between it and the bone and a ganglion in the front of the shoulder. Don't think the ganglion is the issue just the bursa obstructing movement and causing the pain.
So yesterday's injury was definitely a hamstring tweak. Will have to take things easy over the next week.
It also appears I have an Achilles strain as well on the opposite leg. Looks like I won't be running in my Altra's for the foreseeable future and will have to go back to my Inov-8's which have a 5mm or 8mm drop (Trailroc 255 - 5mm; Race Ultra - 8mm). It's a pity because the Altra's were extremely comfortable and had a nice wide toe-box
That's a bummer, Thug.
