Run 44:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3
A slightly shorter loop through the Domain since the bush tracks are starting to get too dark with Ayr Street thrown in through the middle of the run. As usual Jono powered ahead up that but I wasn't too far behind I guess. Felt icy this morning so I was glad of the long pants I'd got.
Skiing (Snowplanet) 2:00:00 [1]
An after work dash out to Snowplanet with Jono to use up our 2 for 1 vouchers before the end of the month! Much improvement on Saturday but I got really cold otherwise we would have been out on the snow longer instead of drinking coffee in the cafe!
Monday May 26, 2008 #
MTB 20:00 [2]
To and from the gym in the rain although it wasn't too heavy at this stage. I need gloves.
Gym (Weights and Stretches) 1:00:00 [3]
Feeling a bit stronger than of late. Good session although I was watching the weather a bit out the window in the last bit dreading the ride back in the rain.

Looking at bikes with Mark. Finally found one...yay. But have to wait for a couple of weeks before I can pick it up. Jono picked the same one so we'll have to customise them so we don't look like twins!
Saturday May 24, 2008 #
MTB 2:30:00 [3]
Round some of the red and blue tracks in Woodhill with Jono trying out the Avanti soft tail test bikes. They cushion your ride heaps! I want one!! Anyway, I've definatly got more confidence and control but a long way to go yet.
Skiing (Snowplanet) 2:00:00 [1]
Learning how to ski...awesome fun but the end to one mammoth day.
Friday May 23, 2008 #
MTB 20:00 [1]
To and from gym. Getting more confident on the roads.
Peloton (Spin) class 45:00 [4]
Got the last bike...right in front of the instructor. Damn, no slacking off! Pushed it hard especially on the sprints...thought my lungs were going to explode! Naturally they didn't and I was fine but it was interesting.
Gym (Weights and Core) 30:00 [3]
Thursday May 22, 2008 #
Climbing 1:20:00 [2]
Climbing with Debs and Dalen. My muscles are still throbbing since Dalen was obsessed with the overhang tonight much to Debs and my horror!
Wednesday May 21, 2008 #
Rowing Machine warm up/down 9:08 [4]
Fairly torturous but I've gotta try and get it back under 9 minutes again!
Gym (Weights and Stretches) 1:00:00 [3]
Ice Skating 1:30:00 [2]
Had my skates sharpened so it was like sliding across the ice with no control (to hell with stopping!). Couldn't do that much except attempt to blunt them down a little (always strikes me as weird that when your blades get too blunt you have to get them sharpened (okay, that makes sense) but then once they're sharpened you have to blunt them a bit before you can use them properly). Didn't help that I missed the warmup while the guy at the workshop was looking for my skates.

Run 52:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3
Early morning with Jono round the Domain with an extra loop coming up Ayr Street...been a while since I've run up there. Ankle felt a bit weak but nothing too bad. Slow on hills but feeling a bit stronger. It's a bummer the mornings are getting darker since we're gonna have to find some new routes with the forest getting a little dark these days.
I was feeling decidedly ill last night so nice to be in the land of the living again this morning.

Rowing Machine warm up/down 9:11 [4] 2.0 km (4:36 / km)
I haven't done this in ages!
Gym (Core and Stretches) 10:00 [3]
Not a good morning.
Sunday May 18, 2008 #
Orienteering race (OY4 - Shanks Pony) 1:25:41 [4] **** 5.0 km (17:08 / km)
Not that tricky but pretty physical. Felt quite dizzy and tired out there today. Crossed the wrong branch of a stream at one point and got stuck!
Saturday May 17, 2008 #
Gym (Weights) 30:00 [3]
Supposed to be longer but we got sdetracked on our cycle in to the gym.
Yoga 1:00:00 [2]
SO good! Could feel an easing of those aching muscles in my neck and ribs. Still painful but a lot better.
Friday May 16, 2008 #
Run 11:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3
Run to gym in the mist. Don't even ask what time of the morning this was. I was moving fairly fast as K'Rd and Grafton are not exactly the most friendliest of places. Biked home while Jono ran but that was cruisy.
Peloton (Spin) class 45:00 [5]
A bit uncomfortable on my shoulders but otherwise I didn't feel too bad.
Gym 10:00 [3]
Various exercises with Jono.
Note
My neck, shoulders and rib cage still hurt a lot but nothing seems to be too bad. I just can't laugh 'cause that's too painful!

My neck especially still hurts like hell from last night's fall...not good.
Wednesday May 14, 2008 #
Run 36:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3
Through the Domain with Jono as per usual with the shorter route home. Feeling stiff probably from yesterday's spin.
Ice Skating 1:00:00 [2]
After a really hard fall early in class I was taking it easy. Feeling bruised, pretty sore and real shaky but hey, I'm in one piece this time (at least I think I am)! We didn't really stay on afterwards as Jono wanted to try on figure skates.
Tuesday May 13, 2008 #
Peloton (Spin) class 45:00 [4]
Could have pushed for 5 but probably not the best idea yet.
Gym (Weights and Stretches) 30:00 [3]
Attempted to do something together with Jono but I hate his program and he hates mine!
Monday May 12, 2008 #
Run 42:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3
Just the usual round the Domain with the added loop on the way back. A bit on the cold side but nothing too bad yet and at least it's still light in the morning.
Sunday May 11, 2008 #
Orienteering race (OY3 - Stags Roar) 58:37 [4]
shoes: Jalas Black FLX
Score event at Woodhill. Pretty shocking navigation on 3 of them including the one I had to drop since I'd gone too far off course somehow. It was nice out in the forest though but feeling pretty lightheaded.
Saturday May 10, 2008 #
Ice Skating 1:30:00 [1]
With Jono, Sandra and Natie. Too busy to do much except skate round in circles and attempt not to get knocked over by out of control kids with metal frames!
Friday May 9, 2008 #
Peloton (Spin) class 45:00 [4]
Good pacing today.

Feeling tired and down. First round of injections tomorrow so hopefully I feel better soon.

Gym - Cardio warm up/down 11:00 [4]
Gym (Weights and Stretches) 1:00:00 [3]
Ice Skating 1:30:00 [3]
First class of the term. Considering I hadn't been for a couple of weeks I felt remarkably confident. New coach taking the warm up which had us stipping layers within minutes!
Tuesday May 6, 2008 #
Run 40:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3
Round the Domain the opposite direction (now THAT was a first believe it or not...Jono's idea and I can't believe I'd never really thought of it!) and then back via some weird detour. Felt good this morning and no niggles anywhere. Just still slow...but not as slow as before.

Peloton (Spin) class 45:00 [4]
Boy did I need to get out of the house and have a break and this was great. Used all my anger in the ride.
