Massage, running, pilates

Training Plan - 11Km at 6:00 pace Actual - 11Km at 5:40 pace This week - 22.8 Km Just a functional run today, it had to be done but was not particularly enjoyable (though still felt great afterwards!). Rushed home from work, chucked the running gear on and headed out. Big loop of my block up Middleborough Rd, left into Burwood Rd, left into Blackburn rd, wound around a few side streets to get the 11Km up. I don't love running the streets but I was pressed for time tonight so just my imagination and peak hour traffic for company. I did a Pilates mat class at lunch time, it was quite a strong class today and I am really feeling it in the abs tonite, but I am starting to see some definition of the muscles which is kinda cool. I had a semi private session yesterday (just 2 people per instructor) and that was a great session. They know I am a runner and give me some great targeted exercises and concentrate strongly on good long stretches. I had my first proper massage tonight which was fantastic. I have only ever had airy fairy aromatherapy massages before, which are nice but not massively beneficial. Today's massage was quite intense and found quite a few knots in the muscles, particularly the calves which I didn't even know I had and although it was a little uncomfortable at times it was fantastic, I will definitely be back for more.
