Rainmaker With those front circles, I felt like I should be casting some sort of spell. Perhaps that's the rain spell... 
2 x 10 overhead barbell presses
3 x 10 banded upside-down push-ups

Walk. Tried for 6km but only made it to 5.98km! In 1hr, 18min. Strange day. Very windy and sunny-cloudy-sunny-cloudy-etc. When I started off, I got quite warm so took off my jacket and just had my t-shirt. Then the clouds came over, the wind became a touch chillier and I put my jacket on again. Then my ears started getting cold. There was a sprinkling of rain which, with that wind, didn't make anything warmer! After a little while, the sun reappeared. But I kept my jacket on. The apparent temperature was between 3° and 5°! As well as 'roos, I saw two bunnies on my walk in two different areas. I seldom see them.
Despite the strong wind...

...the paper daisy is actually pretty much in focus.

Anyway, when I was on the flatter going-along-left-again part, I came across a sign. I guess it was at the trail head and I came from behind. It explained a lot about much of the track I was on. I must confess at times I had found it rather challenging...

Congrats 












We've often thought that centre had it easy! Then on to kicks. 5 instep kicks each leg to warm up, then 10 es in earnest. With the turning kicks, he wanted them fast and powerful. We always start with left foot back, meaning it's the foot to kick first, so my right leg was the support and turning foot. At the seventh fast kick (which also requires a fast and sharp turn on the supporting leg), my right plantaris yelled Nope! and that was pretty much that.
I couldn't do the cut kick but I could do axe kick but only if I kicked with the right leg. When we partnered up for instep kicks on the paddle, that was okay as I didn't need to turn my leg, but with the turning kick, I had a go but could only do it with the right. So darned tired of this. I think it's getting better and then... Well, perhaps it is. Perhaps it plays up just a little bit to annoy me but bit by bit, it's getting there. Fingers crossed. 
Taekwondo training. On Tuesday, I pulled that plantaris again, and it was still giving me bother today, so I must have done it quite nicely again. I realised that if I went to training, there was no way that I would manage to avoid everything that could hurt that darn calf, short of sitting out, so I decided to sit it out at home.
I have learnt, however, that rotating with speed on that leg is something that stresses that plantaris. As is jumping. And ... etc. I did, however, feel quite adult in my decision. See, I can be a grown-up sometimes!
