Limited running in the week gone as picked up an injury/niggle in left ankle/foot, and then was away in the Wairapara for a walk with the wife. I dunno what injury is but it comes and goes. May go get it checked if it doesnt subside completely.
Monday (PM) - local road, beach cruise 12.3km @ 5.23mins/km
Tuesday (AM) - CBD easy recovery jog - 3km @ 5.30. Lower left leg started to hurt so stopped and walked it back. Iced next couple days. Still not too sure what it was but comes and goes. Kind of feels a bit dead/sickly at times when I put weight on it. Then seems totally fine.
Weds to Friday - didnt train at all
Saturday - Day 1 of Tora Coastal Walk - 14km / 656m elevation - mainly farmland and coastal
Sunday - Day 2 of Tora Coastal Walk. Started with 7.6kkm flat run (@4.45min/kms) down the coast to check out a shipwreck. Then walk for the day was coastal then up to a decent trig and back 16km /491m elevation
Monday - Day 3 of Tora - bush/farmland day - 14km / 572m elevation
Walk overall was pretty good. Not really physically challenging or anything but some interesting terrain and things to see. Wall catered and nice to do something a bit different. -
Pretty light week following the walk, and wanting to give my leg some time.

Still taking things easy but think I could be through it and may have been due to needing new shoes as looking back, I didnt have the same pain during the trails runs and my road shoes had just clicked over 700kms. New shoes acquired....
Week gone:
Tuesday - (AM) easy jog 4.7km @ 5.33min/km. Not great.
Thursday - (AM) first run in new shoes 6.7km @ 4..57min/km. Felt OK and surprisingly a fair bit faster for minimal effort

Sunday- (AM) 14km trail run 440m elevation. Slow as hell at 6.31min/km and really struggled on the hills. Wasnt well fueled at all (banana and a coffee) but hill fitness is clearly lacking. (PM) 12km on the bike to turn the legs over, and 9 holes of golf. -
Think leg sorted. Had more physio mid week working on calf and hammie. Will try for 3 runs this week as the next step. Week gone:
Monday (AM) 5km walk with B

Thanks - yeah was lowest of the day for the division. Had 8 looks at birdie and got 1 so could have been much better. Also 4 putted the same par 5 twice after getting on for two. Pretty frustrating!
