Wedding all day :)

Although, the bride managed a run at 6am. I opted for the hours extra sleep...(plus I didn't want to get my hair all sweaty!)

rehearsal and helping set up for tomorrow :)

I should be pleased that what used to be a ~35min run barely took me 30. But instead I'm a little sad - running up kaukau isn't really a full run anymore. I guess it's a good hard hill session though?

Pretty sure that's a family record. Now to break the 30mins. Plenty of points I could have gone harder today though so shouldn't be too hard.

Bit busy with Rita's Hen's Party.

Got a bit of exercise in, running to the car and back in record time to get Rita's clothes for Pole class. And then an hours pole dancing lesson, which was a good ab work out - half from laughing so much and half from the actual moves!

favourite loop with my favourite track. :)

Blew off some steam.

I could have, I should have, I would have, but I didn't.

Kind of gutted in the end though, declined mum's offer of a short jog. Then she got caught in the heaviest torrential downpour wellington's had in decades. Would have been brilliant fun!

Out to Pencarrow and around the tracks there with Mags, Lisa, Sarah and Ben.
Borrowed Laura's bike, and didn't exactly get along with it. Which made for a frustrating 2 hours. Tried to keep my complaints in my head (with limited success), these included:
- hell as sore knee on flats and uphills
- gears that refused to change and would leave me stranded on uphills
- rear suspension which sucked all my effort to nothing
- hills too steep to bike anyway
- downhills too steep to bike safely with sweaty hands and no gloves.

Yeah. I think I'm a runner.

Enjoyed the company though :)
