Run 1:15:00 [2] 12.0 km (6:15 / km) +354m 5:27 / km
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Ran up to the top of Okura Pass and back down from the Forest HQ while Jono was being tortured mtbing with Matt's friends. Very hot day. I had to walk the last 5 minutes up to the top but if I'd known it was so close I probably would have pushed it just that little bit further.

Walk 50:00 [2]
shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco IX WR

Walking the loop track at Glenui Bush. Passing time and avoiding the heat.

MTB 1:30:00 [1]

Biking into town with Jono to get souvlaki at Costas and a bit of sightseeing then on to Riccarton Mall to do some shopping. Shopping is not my favouritist thing in the world.

MTB 1:30:00 [1]

Biking on Jono's Dad's old bike round the local streets following Jono so I didn't get lost. The bike was a bit big for me so I had to bend over heaps but better than no bike. We went and checked out Jellie Park which was pretty lovely. A very hot afternoon.

Run 1:30:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Round McLeans Island with Nick while Jono and Matt biked the mtb track twice. Somehow we managed to take the wrong track, doubled back through the bush and ended up running heaps more than was necessary! Was good fun.

Friday Dec 26, 2008 #

Run 47:30 [3] 8.9 km (5:20 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Out to Boys High and back through the uni with Jono. Just following along since I had no idea where we were. Good run. Feeling a little bit more speed in the legs. Weather is glorious.

Note
(rest day)

I was planning a run but woke up feeling pretty shattered and sick. Bummer.

MTB 1:30:00 [2]

Cruising from Jono's touch practice at Edgewater to visit my brother then to my parents and finally to Ee's to perform Rock Band concert! Was feeling heaps more confident on the roads which was cool. Really enjoyed biking for once rather than being so terrified!

Saturday Dec 20, 2008 #

Run 36:30 [3] 6.5 km (5:37 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Morning run with Jono round One Tree Hill. We took a different route up to the summit via the dirt track...way tougher than up the road but definitely good training. Plus I didn't feel so stressed afterwards...always a bonus.

Peloton (Spin) class 45:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Last spin class of the year with bubbles and strawberries! Legs were exhausted after last night at the gym but clearly I still had something left.

Orienteering race (SS - Mt Eden) 39:47 [4] **** 4.5 km (8:50 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Good run (apart from a few at the start where my head was all over the place). Was playing tagging with a couple of people until I must have made quite a different route choice to them on the long leg (5-6) which is, I suspect, where I made up lots of my time. Never saw them again. Good feeling that doesn't happen too often.

Despite having several mini freak-outs, locking my car keys in the boot and all the rest, I still made it to the spin Christmas drinks afterwards. Good work. Maybe there's hope for my confidence yet!

Peloton (Spin) class 45:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Last Monday class of the year. Went hard, felt dead, dripped a lot. Now I need a nap.

Note
(rest day)

I was too tired to do much today. We just paddled out on the boards and wandered along the beach. Peaceful. Oh, and I finished my book so I better get some more sleep in before I get the next one. Books are way too addictive.

MTB 3:00:00 [3]

Biking round Tawharanui with Jono. A bit too much freaking out. Gotta get over it. The hills were pretty tough especially with the long grass. Was good fun when I got a bit more confident (and before I got too exhausted).

Friday Dec 12, 2008 #

Peloton (Spin) class 45:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Legs were struggling today and I felt a bit ill about halfway through after going really hard...hmmm, finished off the chocolate pudding last night with Jono. I should learn from this...rich stuff the night before is not a good idea especially since my stomach on a normal day anyway!

My knee is feeling heaps better now. Hopefully good enough for a run round the farmland this weekend. Hoping the good mood holds.

Peloton (Spin) class 50:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Tough class. Different instructor to normal as Jannelle was away today. It was good though. Legs feeling a bit dead now.

Tuesday Dec 9, 2008 #

Orienteering race (SS - Panmure Basin) 39:59 [3] 5.7 km (7:01 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Pretty much just a run round the basin with a couple of controls round the streets. Nice scenery though. Couldn't run very fast as my knee still feels weird. Will probably keep off it for running for a few more days but it's definitely better than it was.

Peloton (Spin) class 45:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Lincoln actually made it out of bed today to take the class. Went hard and had patches of feeling like I was going to be sick...but that could also be from Debs and I eating way too much chocolate pudding last night! Scored a free sports drink at class - one of those new bright coloured ones (I got the red one). Still pretty sweet though but not as sticky-tasting as some.

MTB 1:30:00 [2] 14.0 km (6:26 / km)

Cruising the new motorway that bi-passes Orewa with Jono, Howie and Cass. Good Fun! Not often you get the chance to bike on the motorway (although it's not all sealed yet) and obviously A LOT of other people realised this as well. There was even a tunnel...although it was not as long as I was expecting.

Rowing Machine 4:30 [4] 1.05 km (4:17 / km)

Gym (Weights and Core) 1:00:00 [3]

It's been a long time so was surprisingly not as crap as I expected.

Peloton (Spin) class 45:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Lincoln didn't turn up so one of the other guys in the class took us...pretty intense! My legs were totally dead afterwards!

Wednesday Dec 3, 2008 #

Note
(rest day)

Was going to run home but my leg needs a rest and I'm feeling tired so made the trek to the bus stop instead.

Orienteering race (SS - One Tree Hill) 1:09:36 [3] 6.6 km (10:33 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco IX WR

Following Jono round course 1. Felt pretty dead, and then I managed to slip and twist my finger. Hurt bad for a few hours but seems okay now. The back of my knee isn't feeling that great now though. I think I need a rest.

Peloton (Spin) class 50:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

It was SO hot in there this morning. Biked myself in to the ground I think 'cause I was completely dead by the end. Felt good though...okay, mostly good.
