Training Log Archive: Vaala

Nice cruisey run with Emily up the valley track and Mt Vernon and down Farm Track. Dosed up on nurofen so felt sort of okay until not long after we finished. Will go to the doctor tomorrow to see if there is actually anything wrong or whether I'm just going to have to deal with it.

C • foot? 3

With Al, Amber, Emily, Rowan and Michael up Rapaki and all the way along to Godley Head then down to Taylors Mistake then back home. Lots of pushing and bike carrying. You know, I really don't feel good about climbing over substantial barriers telling you to keep out.

C • Really... 2

Feeling a bit crappy today so when Michael got home I gave him the option of a walk or a jog. I should have known he'd pick the walk option! Was so cold by the time I got home.

Man, I haven't done an early morning like this in ages! Lara suggested we should try the spin class at Pioneer so today was the day. They even had brand new bikes but the pedals hadn't been loosened and I couldn't get my bike shoes in no matter how hard I tried (the instructer even tried to force my foot in but it was a no go) so had to ride with normal shoes. As usual started off with way too much resistance so pretty much spent the rest of the class dying slowly!

Up Rapaki, along the usual tracks and down through Vic Park to Bowenvale and home. My legs felt surprisingly okay going up the hill but I just kind of lost all momentum and energy once I got on the Mt Vernon track. By the time I got home I wasn't feeling so flash. Hmmmm...

From home to meet the Wednesday night run crew then up Bowenvale and the zig zag, some off track bashing then along the mtb track and down the valley and home again. Nice slow descent today as a contrast to last time as Matt's knee was not in a good way. Looked painful. My legs felt pretty dead today and my foot was a bit sore by the time I got home.

From the parents' along Eastern Beach then a couple of different loops through Macleans and up through Murvale Reserve then back via Bucklands Beach.

Missed going to Mum's keep fit class as I was stuck in a meeting that went hours over time and had to take the last ferry (8pm) home. I did walk most of the way home from there though.
