A rather wet ride on the tandem with M around to Tai Tapu and up the hill then along the tops super slowly because you couldn't see anything in the thick cloud, then a cold descent home (via Chris and Em's to see if they'd left yet...they hadn't). Was going to be a longer ride but the weather this weekend hasn't really played ball with our plans.

Probably need to change the tyres over to the thin speedy ones in preperation for TTs - time to get FAST again!

Nice little walk round Halswell Quarry with Hilary :-)

Into the drizzly greyness up onto Farm Track where I was slowly (very slowly) gaining on a runner in the distance. Caught him by the summit road so then that meant he was following me up to the top of Mt Vernon. Was satisfying to turn around at the top and see him completely shattered and needing a breather. I headed off round Witch Hill and along the tops to the Bridle Path then back again where I saw the same runner turn onto Rapaki ahead of me so I had to burn past him then proceeded to go quite fast (for me anyway!) down the hill. Quite sore all over by the end.

Bit of some pilates stuff. It was tough.

Round the park and all that jazz in the rain. Feeling better than yesterday but still a bit tired.

Nice (haha) walk in the wind with M to drop of videos. Feeling TIRED.

Wednesday night run - Georgia's Birthday Burger and Bush Bash Bonanza edition. Legs are sluggish so was glad of Emily's company.

From the SOT cruising up the hill and round the cool tracks at the top then cruising down. A real nice morning.

After work M and I went and cheered on my workmates and those other crazy cats doing the 5km. Did a bit of running to try and be encouraging.
