I’ve got my new orthotics, and they’re in my new shoes. Following the podiatrists advice, I only did 5km today to see how my legs felt with the new foot accessories. I ended up going out quite quickly, and had a comfortable run, so much so that I was hoping to go under 29 minutes for the 5km. Just missed out, doing 29.28 minutes, can’t complain about that. Sinner was a bit sluggish today, and my right shin was a bit tender. Not sore on the area where I had/have shin splints, but on the adjacent muscle which was bruised twice on Wednesday night, once when I walked into the A Frame at dog club, and once when I walked into the edge of the wooden futon at home. Don’t think orthotics can help that discomfort.

Poor Guinness hates me going out without him!! I can hear him crying as I walk up the driveway with Sinner, and I feel terribly guilty. I’ve decided that I’ll be working with each dog for two days a week. Sinner and I will do our long run on Monday and Friday, and on Tuesday and Thursday I’ll do Couch to 5k with Guinness, but I’ll go out fast to try and improve my speed. Guinness won’t mind at all, he’s got such long legs and covers the ground so smoothly, I’m sure I could do a 10 minute 100m sprint and he’d just cruise along beside me.

 Hubby suggested this morning that it’ll be nice when we can go out for a run together. I said I’d see about a babysitter for a couple of hours, and we could go up to Mt Mee.  Might do that sooner rather than later, it’d be nice.

Going camping this weekend at Tin Can Bay and will have a run around the foreshore where the dolphins play. Should be very nice!
