Run 1:39:02 [3]
shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)

Fun times with the WEIRD gang up Kennedys. Slowly (very slowly) starting to feel my legs improve I think.

6 AM

Run 39:20 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Inspire 10

Morning shuffle. Did a bit of a faster bit up the stairs (and got a CR...yessss!) but nearly threw up at the top. Not ideal. Then cruised the rest of the way.

Monday Aug 29, 2016 #

8 PM

Strength and Conditioning 30:00 [3]

Went for a walk along the river and through the parks with M before doing the usual stuff. Not feeling too good today.

With M on the tandem from work up Dyers and down Mt Pleasant. I have no strength on the climbs any more.

Run 1:15:22 [3]
shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)

Bit of an adventure over by Lyttelton. My legs are still so unresponsive.

Tuesday Aug 23, 2016 #

6 PM

Run 56:29 [3]
shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)

Still feeling like my legs are made of wood or lead or something so running up the bus stop track was an odd choice. Was nice to be out though. Lifted my mood. Life is quite stressful right now.

Monday Aug 22, 2016 #

Note
(rest day)

Too tired, too achey, too over it.

Sunday Aug 21, 2016 #

8 AM

Run 1:40:31 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Inspire 10

From the house to Long Bay (I got lost so it was further than it should have been!) then along various tracks out to the Okura River and back. Felt so tight and sluggish but managed to keep myself going. The views were nice and it was quite novel to be in a tshirt and shorts and still a bit warm but I'm glad I don't live up here any more...even if they do have vegan doughnuts.

Saturday Aug 20, 2016 #

Note
(rest day)

It's hard work eating all the food (vegan doughnuts!!!) and playing with babies. Actually, it is hard work tossing babies around. Trying to pretend that it doesn't hurt my wrist but actually had to retreat to my room to silently scream for a while.

Run 37:59 [3]
shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)

Jogging in the valley. Not feeling so good. Anxious about the cat.

Strength and Conditioning 30:00 [3]

The cat was waiting for me on my return so that was a relief. Since the run was so short I did some pilates stuff. It's hard work.

Thursday Aug 18, 2016 #

6 PM

MTB 1:15:00 [3]
shoes: SH-WM43

With M from work up Huntsbury and down Rapaki. My thighs are so tired and stiff.

Wednesday Aug 17, 2016 #

6 PM

Run 1:37:52 [3]
shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)

Running so terribly and so slow and feeling pretty awful. My legs are so tired. I am so tired!

Tuesday Aug 16, 2016 #

5 PM

Road Bike 1:44:00 [3]
shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR

Cold night riding with M on the tandem up Mt Pleasant and along the tops then down Dyers. I brought my nice warm jacket with me for the descent...a wise move.

Sunday Aug 14, 2016 #

10 AM

Run 1:57:06 [3]
shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)

Up the valley and along the tops to a little bit past the Kiwi and back. Such a nice day with perfect views of the Alps.

3 PM

Road Bike 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: SH-WM43

Because who doesn't like checking out a new road right?

Saturday Aug 13, 2016 #

6 PM

Walk 50:00 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Inspire 10

Nice little walk partway up Huntsbury with M once the rain had finally stopped and I managed to tear myself away from code.

Run 51:21 [3]
shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)

Early morning jog up the super frosty valley and down Farm Track. Really nice morning.

Wednesday Aug 10, 2016 #

6 PM

Run 1:08:19 [3]
shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)

Arrived at Zeros at 6:07pm after waiting for M who decided, at the last minute, that he wanted to come. No one was there, so after a quick debate we drove out to Halswell and went for a nice little run there. How is M so fast with no running?

Tuesday Aug 9, 2016 #

6 PM

Road Bike 1:23:00 [3]
shoes: SH-WM43

On the tandem with M up Rapaki and along the tops then down from Mt Pleasant. Soooooooooooo cold on the descent. Took a long time to return to something like a normal temperature!

MTB 57:00 [3]
shoes: SH-WM43

Round Bottle Lake with M because we were too pansy to do the MTBO at Macleans Island. It was still freezing. My right thumb was too frozen to change down gears very often (and definitely with no speed) which was a bit awkward.

4 PM

Run 26:13 [3]
shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)

Quick little blat up the valley from McCormacks Bay on my way home from being social. Feeling pretty good and pretty happy to be out and running - it's a very pretty, fun little valley.

Saturday Aug 6, 2016 #

11 AM

Run 1:29:08 [3]
shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)

With Lara from Lyttelton. It was cold and quite a lot was covered in slippery slippery snow or slick mud. We found some awesome tracks though. Feeling so much better and it was awesome to have company.

Friday Aug 5, 2016 #

Note

Planned to get up early and go for a run, or if still in pain then a walk but the night was so bad I just stayed in bed curled up in a ball. This should not be normal.

Thursday Aug 4, 2016 #

Note
(rest day)

Girl stuff making life too painful to function.

Run 52:44 [3]
(injured) shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#4)

Wednesday night run where we got dropped so quick by the non rogainers! Tootled up the Harry Ell then onto Old Dyers and down Latters Spur. Cold. My foot seems okay as long as it doesn't land on a particular angle. Achillies is a little tight but a lot better than I expected. But it was all like my body had completely forgotten how to run or like I'd never run before in my life. Kinda weird!

Tuesday Aug 2, 2016 #

6 PM

Road Bike 54:30 [3]
(injured) shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR

Cold ride up the valley on the tandem with M. I want to go back to the hot desert.

So tired. So cold.
