Walk 1:35:08 [3]
shoes: Merrell All Out Charge
From home up Huntsbury and down Farm Track. Yep, can still walk uphill fast no worries. Jogged round the tops and back down again.

A bit of a jog with M from SOT down to and up Latters Spur for an explore then down the Harry Ell. Still a bit funny on my left leg when going up hill and still feeling kinda sick and empty.

Round McLeans Island in the mud with M. Yay for doing exercise! So exhausting. Ate even more today but it's hard work this eating business.

Walk 32:00 [1]

M took me for a super slow walk out behind My Somers. It was exhausting! I did manage to eat 3 meals today though. First time in days.

Started feeling feverish during the rogaine talk last night and was pretty bad by the time M got home. Never really made it out of bed today. Not feeling much better. Make it end!!!

Up Rapaki, passing Al on my way up as it turned out. Then down Huntsbury. By the bottom I felt pretty weird. I never seem to learn to listen to my body and I always get carried away chasing people down on Rapaki.

Just the usual foam rolling and a little bit of strength and stretching.

Road Bike 1:30:00 [3]
shoes: SH-WM43
Fun times with M skidding our way up Rapaki on the skinny tyres (listening to all the usual tandem jokes people think are so original/funny) then along the tops and down Evans Pass with a bit of a detour on the way home. Then we ate all the leftover cheesecake and it was delicious. M is awesome by the way.

M was at code camp so it was just me for good times up Huntsbury, along the tops on the road to the top of Mt Pleasant then down the MTB track and back along the road then down Farm Track for a giggle and a gander at the filmset in the valley. I felt like I could have ridden forever. I didn't want to go home. I really want to be able to ride a road bike again.

Early morning cruise up Rapaki and down Huntsbury. Glad I took my down jacket to put on at the top. It's lonely doing these things by myself but in many ways it's probably better this way (unless M comes too and then it's double the awesome!).

Walk 30 [2]
Round the river and the park. I'm so over winter and doing almost everything outside in the dark and the cold.

MTB 30:00 [3]
shoes: SH-WM43
From work along Colombo St which was rather hair-raising with the road surface all pulled up so the cars all going a bit crazy and doing crazy manouvers then up Dyers to SOT. Feeling the burn in my thighs!
6 PM
Rogaine 1:56:42 [3]
shoes: Icebug Aceleritas 4
With the great M(!!!) who started with an explosion of speed and I was dying to keep up but I managed to reign him in. Could feel my achilles being funny so was trying to sort of cruise but that's quite hard mentally when your brain is trying to send power down into your legs! M's knee imploded by the bottom of the valley though so we could slow right down which was good for both of us at this point. Nice slow trip back up the hill where, apart from getting stuck in the school, we still managed to get some points despite our crawling speed.
9 PM
MTB 16:00 [3]

Back down the hill with M feeling starving.

MTB 58:00 [3]
shoes: SH-WM43
Racing up Rapaki (actually got told by one guy that it wasn't a race...perhaps he didn't like being passed at high speed by a girl?) with M chasing along behind me. Didn't take him too long to catch up because he's a speed demon. Obviously he got to recover once he caught me whilst my lungs were burning for the rest of the climb! Round the road then down Huntsbury and home in time for the theatre!! I love the theatre.

Up to Vic Park in the calm before the storm.
1 PM
Rogaine 2:00:00 [1]
shoes: Icebug Aceleritas 4
Freezing my hands off chasing the ladies at the clinic round Vic Park. So so cold. Was a bit of a wakeup call for some of the girls in regards to their gear. So glad Nora convinced me to let her drop me home afterwards instead of riding back down.

Run 1:45:33 [2]
shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)
Really didn't want to run today as my achillies was saying hello but I had already told Shayden I'd take him for an adventure so yep, that's what happened. From bowenvale up the valley and round the back of the sugar loaf and those hills then back down through Vic Park. He loved it. Luckily he was struggling on the uphills so it wasn't too much strain on my achilles at that point but it wasn't ideal.

Run hills 1:09:18 [4]
shoes: Salomon S-Lab Sense 5 Ultra
Early morning hill repeats up the bottom half of Rapaki (x2) then a detour to get home again. Feeling extremely sleepy so not very fast but I put in the effort.

Some hilarity on the tandem with M riding up Whaka Terrace (holy moly that's steep!) and some other random climbs and all that. Poor M got some serious cramp though :-(

From work up Huntsbury to the rogaine. Feeling good on the bike but supremely anxious about coaching.
6 PM
Rogaine 2:00:00 [1]
shoes: Icebug Aceleritas 4
Taking an awesome bunch of ladies round the night rogaine. One of them fell off a cliff which was a rather hair-raising experience but she was fine and laughed a lot. I hope they have an awesome time at Spring Challenge. Greatly admired their team work, spirit and courage to try something well out of their comfort zone.
9 PM
MTB 45:00 [3]

From the rogaine up Huntsbury and down Rapaki. Was nice to be alone in the quiet of the night.

Run 4:06:30 [3]
shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)
From Orton Bradley up Mt Herbert then round the back of Mt Bradley which was quite terrifying as it had turned into a ridiculously slippery ice skating rink. Took me forever but I made it to the Packhorse in one piece...just. Felt a bit tired by then from being so tense but didn't stop for too long as I was rather cold. Did another loop through the tracks at the bottom at the end. Really must run out here more often...preferably when it's not so icy.

Road Bike 2:45:00 [3]
shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR
Feeling pretty good today and the weather was pretty glorious (although still pretty cold) so we cruised along the tops all the way out to Godley Head then down Evans pass for hot drinks and delicious food before checking out Glenstrae Road to see if it was as steep as it looked from a distance...it was.

Run 1:21:50 [3]
(sick) shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)
Finally made it out for a run in the late afternoon so it was a bit of a race against daylight...for which I can't quite work out who won since it was pitch black by the time I stumbled through the little bit of forest at the bottom of the valley! Felt pretty good most of the way until partway down the hill again when my stomach started hurting again and I had to slow right down. Just took it easy the whole way.

Up and down Huntsbury a couple of times on the tandem with the Great M. Fantasising about living up on this hill. Coughing up a storm.

Run 18:46 [2]
(sick) shoes: Mizuno Wave Inspire 10
Jogging to work (or at least to the supermarket on the way). Seemed like I spent an awfully long time at the traffic lights getting freezing cold hands.

Walk 45:00 [2]
(sick) shoes: Mizuno Wave Inspire 10
Nice little wander up the hill a bit and down via the supermarket with the awesome M.

Early morning jog up the Harry Ell and round Coronation Hill in the pouring rain. Got mega stomach pain on the way down and had to stop and die by the side of the track for a while before very slowly making my way back down :-(
