Recovery.

MONDAY 18/7/05, 11AM, 5K, 7 HOURS SLEEP

5.1K in 25.43 on grass at the Marist sports fields in Brisbane. Felt tired but got better as I warmed up. Main physical symptoms from the 100K- some quad stiffness, mild ITB soreness, and very sensitive knee joints- jarring my leg sent a bolt of pain through the joint. The knee tenderness gradually went away during the week but was still occasionally noticeable on Thursday, and the ITBs were still a bit sore on Thursday also.

TUESDAY 19/7/05, 7PM, 6K, WEEK TO DATE 11K, 4.5 HOURS SLEEP

Flew in from Brisbane, busy day at work, ducked out after work for a run office->Waterloo Park->return on a cold night. Felt tired on uphills as expected. DId 6.1K in 30.29, so 4.59 pace.
