62 Days until University Games!!

I had some very exciting news from yesterday, i have booked my flights to Adelaide!! In 2 months time i will be there with other UWA students ready to represent our uni in many different sports! I have almost paid my fees in full there is just one thing left to do... be ready!

With only 62 days to go i had  a little panic over the weekend that i might not be ready to run in time with my training and my plantar fasciits. It has been getting better and thankfully i have been able to have 4 runs the past 2 weeks in Kings Park which have been great AND i have been able to walk afterwards :) But i need to do some track running. Our uni timetable is not very understanding of an extra-curricular activities we may have so i have been getting up around 6am to head to the UWA gym before uni starts... except now we are starting at 7.30 some days at the hospital and finish lectures at 5 where do i fit in training?? But where there's a will there's a way. I have to admit it has been difficult getting out of bed at 6am on those cold mornings but i have a goal in sight and can see me there, it helps a lot :) I'm so glad i can just walk across the road especially getting up at 5.30am for a 6am Pump class! I have changed a little from the bike to the cross trainer which works a few different muscles as well as the rowing machine, anything to keep up fitness while not running as much and i hope it is working!

On the way to the UWA gym 6.15am, Winthrop always makes a pretty site

I had a lovely track session yesterday with JME group. Well when i say track i was running on the grass next to the track, sort of a teaser but it was better than nothing, and i just love training with a group :) The others were doing 200m reps some with hurdles, i so badly wanted to join them! but i did sneak in one hurdle jump and felt proud as the coach seemed impressed with how i jumped it! well i didn't do badly which was something :P i still really want to try the 400m hurdles at uni games though!! It reminded me of when i did the 200m hurdles at little athletics a lot, i love the feeling of jumping over them it makes me excited :)  

So i will try run 2 times a week for now on grass and with some stairs to get my speed and power back up, keep going on the cross trainer bike and pump classes and just maybe i could try a track session next weekend??? (finger and toes crossed!) i will play it safe, i have a mission...
