Lleyton Hewitt

Saturday

AM-Aborted an attempt to run after 30secs, not quite right, suspect when it's 100% it'll be something I never have to worry about again so I'm erring towards overly patient with this right heel.

PM-Strength + 40min bike

At the end of my tether with the monotonous torture of the exercise bike, pretty sure it isn't contributing anything anyway. Might try a run tomorrow before I get any heavier, 75.5kg's today.

Sunday

AM-9km 39:59 (4:26km's) Solo at Joeys

Immaculate grass 700m laps, very grateful for a little taste of how the other half live. I was conscious of the heel but it didn't deteriorate as the run progressed, pretty sore now though. I'll see how it feels in the morning before deciding on the next step.


PM-Strength + 30min bike including 10x40sec hard/20sec easy


Loving watching the Little Aussie Battler still fighting hard and celebrating like a big kid after winning a seemingly minor 3rd round match at the Aussie Open against a young Canadian. Lleyton has been on the tour for 15 years, 2x Grand Slams Titles, 80 weeks at number one, 3 operations in the last 2 years and he's still fighting tooth and nail for every point.

He appears to be approaching career best form, even getting some cheap points on his improved 1st serve but he is in big trouble tonight vs Djokavic. The amazing big bodied athleticism of Federer, Nadal, Djokavic, Murray, Tsonga and Monfils has taken the sport to a new level.

9km for the week.
