Run hills 1:01:34 [3] 11.0 km (5:36 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 4
Round the outside dirt track of OTH then up to the summit via the dirt track and down the road twice then the long way back adding the extra climb. Felt surprisingly okay considering extreme lack of sleep and a sore back and neck from lying funny all night. Such beautiful weather and I almost went for a third time up to the summit but thought the better of it which was wise 'cause I felt rather dead by the time I got home.
Run warm up/down (run/walk) 10:00 [1]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 4
Note
Must have been tired as I fell asleep in the garden while I was supposed to be on guard duty (stopping the cat from attacking the puppy and vice versa). Hmmmm...

Yoga 1:00:00 [2]
Note
Spent the afternoon chasing and playing with the dogs at the kennel and then racing round after Keisha at home. She tired me out! Awww :)

Peloton (Spin) class intervals 45:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB
Quite possibly the hardest class ever! The sprint was earlier than usual so we finished with 2 long, hard climbs but I'd already wiped myself out on the sprint so it was a painful and exhausting finish!
Squash 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3
With Anna again. We had a good ball which helped but we were definitely better than last week! Awesome fun but we didn't play for so long 'cause the weather outside was too nice to be wasted...
Walk 20:00 [1]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3
With Anna up Mt Hobson in the gorgeous sunshine :)

Rowing Machine warm up/down 8:40 [4] 2.0 km (4:20 / km)
Wow! Started super fast, slowed down after the first 1000 metres then put in a last ditch attempt in the last 400 metres when I realised it could be possible to break my previous fastest time. Helps having a little anger and excitement floating around!
Gym (weights and core) 1:15:00 [3]
Perhaps a little too much talking and not quite enough doing! I need to learn the art of doing the exercises and counting the reps in my head at the same time as holding a conversation. I am not a natural multi-tasker.
Climbing 2:30:00 [3]
With the usual crew. Intense and I even managed to draw blood (more than once even...somehow managed to cut open my finger)! Spent a lot of time hanging off the wall going "what the hell?" but am definitely improving. Was feeling pretty weak but technically I've definitely improved so lack of strength doesn't make quite as much impact as it did to start with. We were pretty buggered by the end though which was pretty obvious when Andy came over to us near the end and suggested a climb and we were like, we did that last week...then after about 10 minutes of debate we realised that we'd done it as our second climb!

Run 56:46 [3] 11.2 km (5:04 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 4
Felt like death when I started out 'cause I could still feel my lunch digging a hole in my stomach, and my legs felt stiff. Felt a little better as I went along but was feeling quite hot which was weird. Pace felt slow but was pretty good especially considering the past week. Great to get home and have dinner cooked for you though!

Peloton (Spin) class intervals 45:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB
Okay, so something a little bit more gentle would have been better but didn't sleep and was in need of burning off some anger.
Gym (core and stretches) 20:00 [3]
