I looked at my weight bench this afternoon while taking a sip of my martini...tomorrow I will throw some steel on the bench.

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.

Exercise is work, no strain no gain. Keep it up.

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.
