I found myself feeling a little sore and heavy this morning when I started off on the run. Again, I have found myself starting a little later than I had hope, being on the road by 5:40am but with me being on holidays, I don’t mind the later start. I can probably attribute the soreness in the muscles to yesterday’s activities, I went to Treetop Adventures in Yanchep National Park and spent a few hours climbing various high ropes obstacle. It was awesome fun, but think it has had an impact on the body having moved in ways that it is not used to!
I knew that the run was not going to be as fast as yesterday, not only because of the soreness but because the first kilometre came in quite slow at 6’20”, almost 40″ slower than yesterday. However, once in routine it got a little better. I was thinking about the longevity of the run and the known hurdles that I will have to come to ensure that the full challenge is completed, I think the first big hurdle will be the first weekend – how am I going to get a run in on the weekends, and what will this look like? Will I commit to trying to doing another 12km run, or treat the two days as more recovery / easy days and do a lesser amount to give the body time to recover a little?
I found my attention turning to this research paper that I am going to be writing on TIPE. I have started collating the ideas for the various segments. My intended approach is to try to start it either tonight or tomorrow night, probably by first laying out the subheadings and starting to write one of the sections. This will either the introduction looking at Pastoral Care and Welling structures, they important roles school can play in delivering programs that enhance wellbeing due to their unique role in society in provision of a holistic education and confusion / challenges in implementing and delivering programs due to an unclear definition of wellbeing and the complex challenges faced by students, staff and school administrators, or looking at the role parents and fostering supportive relationships plays. I am setting myself a deadline of trying to have the paper done by Friday week, fingers crossed I can get it done!
