rest day :)

thought it would be prudent to take a rest day today for a few reasons:

- i woke up tired
- i'm a bit lazy
- yesterday my legs were aching all over - not the muscles but it felt like the bones were tired. very strange sensation and i'm sure its just from 3 hard days (long run sunday, monday spin plus 8k walking, tuesday 10k run including a track session plus 4k walk)

only one more sleep till I go home for a few days :) unfortunately back at work next week, but 5 days is better than nothing!

EDIT - interesting article on my coach/program writer Sean Williams and his penchant for barefoot running - he hasn't asked us to get the shoes off!

check it out

We are all entitled to a rest day ever now and then.

Very interesting article, last week at Kurrawa there was a lady who was running in bare feet. Im not sure if she ran 25k or 50k but it was on roads and footpaths. Pretty amazing effort.

Miners! :-))

Make the most of your time off with your friends and family back home. Have a great Christmas :-)

I hope Sean doesn't ask us to take our shoes off for our next track session!

Hope you have a good Christmas. See you in the New Year.

Thanks for the link Ellie. Barefoot running is good for you - as well as being fast.
