A short one

May 3, 2008

Normal trip into the Victoria Market started the day, then before lunch we took Jackie for a walk up at the Greenvale Reservoir Park.

I got a phone call from Alyssa’s mum saying she had decided not to do her cross country this morning, so if I was going for a run today she’d love to come. I didn’t want to do too much, so when Alyssa said she just wanted to do one lap (2.5km) that suited me. We did it a bit quicker again (4:37 min/km), and she handled that no problem. Afterwards, I spent some time showing her a few simple core exercises (Plank, pilates Hundreds and pilates Double Leg Extension), stressing to start off slowly and build up slowly, and showing her how to do them properly.

I think a lazy rest of the day is called for, Geelong vs Brisbane is on Foxtel, then an early night to prepare for the early start and little jaunt around Belgrave-Emerald tomorrow!
