Easing into the hills

It was a lovely morning - the still before the storm for tomorrow! - so i set out for a run to the beach which was just over 4km, then ran up our Marlston hill 4 times with walk down recovery, then a slow 4km jog home. It was actually quite warm and i felt it on the way back with a headache! So it was lots of water and some protein shake for me after wards, a new vanilla flavour which is nicer than the banana i had before. I had 2 35 minute walks this afternoon so feel a little tired at the moment! but with wet weather tomorrow it was good to have lots of time outdoors.

My heel is aching a little reminding me of the overuse injury over the past 6 months - plantar fascitis which i have only just gotten free of mainly due to rolling my ankle and not running, some proof that everything must happen for a reason whether good or bad. So the reminder of me to watch out for it to reoccur is lingering in the back of my mind. Better keep off the running tomorrow.

In the meantime i have bought the Cadel Evans biography. He is such as inspiration winning the Tour De France after all he has been through! I can't wait to read it, i have certainly caught the 'Cadel fever' :)
