I ran the same run I did with my brother and dad on thursday but this time I measured it because they said it was 8km but with a time like 37minutes I was not convinced (even though I pushed myself so hard). So I measured it and it was 7.4km. So 37 minutes was still a really good time and still really happy with that. Even more so because when I ran by myself I only ran 10 seconds slower. Today I ran 10km and I went running with my new orthotics. They felt terrible. I really should not have run with them for such a long run. Especially where I run because I run around the bridges from South Perth (home) to the causeway around to the city and back across the Narrows bridge then back home. I could not cut across due to water!! So I had to stop twice (once to stretch and another to take the orthotics out). My shins are sore and have big blisters on each foot. I should have known better since I am a podiatrist. However with two stops my time was not too bad (53 and half minutes).
I have added some cross training into my training, a) to give me some variety in training, b) not so much strain on my legs. So yesterday I did a 30km bike ride.
I have been eating really well but craving lots of foods lately and getting very hungry. I think it is because of all the long distance stuff I am doing. All in all a pretty good week. Will weigh myself monday so I hope all is good on the scales.

Well I better be off. Have a great weekend all.
Love Amy
