Ok so everything is sore - yay tomorrow is rest day and this weekend I am in Melbourne so its the only weekend when I wont be doing anything.

Predictably all over the place this morning - still adjusting and also trying to find my range with the weights. Was particularly hard work hit failure a few times on different activities.

Apart from soreness feeling really good post it. Legs struggling big time from tightness and can feel it in the knee so going to have to up the stretching for the next few days and really sort out the glutes and calves..

Also I am definitely not a morning person however the gym is not packed at this time and can move freely and it doesn't have the stereotypical nubcakes that you get at 630pm. Might have to change to train gym in the mornings all the time and cardio at night. seems back to front but whatever!

Serious mental struggle before this session - didnt want to do it and was cold and sore. Took a good 20 minutes to talk myself into it.

Indoor pool was split into 2 x 25m pools and closed to public - 8 lane outdoor closed to public... 10 lane outdoor ti is then sigh hate that walk. Happily got a lane to myself - not many others wanted to deal with the cold I guess. Pool wasnt as warm as I was hoping. Punched out 30 laps in just over a minute a lap - not bad but not great.

Was freezing getting out and also then noticed the steam coming off the water.

Feeling sore all over now - yay for rest day dbl yay in melbourne so sat/sunday likely to be off too.

OMG so sore - my inner thighs are on edge of cramping glutes and calves also giving grief. Focused on them and got the roller onto them too...

tris bit sore but nothing major. stretching critical next few days!

Forgot to mention in earlier posts was light headed today - may have gone out a lil to hard need to manage that or might end up in strife.

Well started interesting as I pushed down on the spin bikes pedal the evacuation alarm went off and we went out into the cold for 15 minutes - awesome start!

Had a decent session from then onwards - went lighter than I probably should have on some areas - legs have more to give i know that!

Funny though I got critiqued by one of the instructors on the 45deg leg press - seriously... that said all feedback is good feedback I know im sloppy atm but this one was just kinda amusing.

Had to drop cardio at end of session because of time Wednesday morning always going to be a push...

speaking of which I better get a shuffle on.

Just back out on the bike - for a short one - feel a bit shorter than I hoped but all good.

Wasn't all that quick either but whatever.

I have to say bike definitely needs a service! and I need some new lights my rear light was out, jersey light barely visible and head lamp was basically useless - good times!

Dressed up for arctic weather - was actually quite pleasant out there so happily cooked underneath.

Whats with old people stopping there engines at lights is this a new fad or something - cause it honestly doesn't save that much petrol if something its probably worse for the car and will cost more!

Other than that nothing interesting really came about - bike fitness = 0.0001

Oh would be lying if I said my legs where 100% after gym this morning LOL

Another decent stretching session - calves and glutes giving me some serious grief. going to have to really focus on them otherwise might have some issues soon!

Upper body predictably sore from yesterday. Should be interesting to see how I go after tomorrow!

interestingly (kinda) for no apparent reason some old blisters resurfaced today - I haven't been 100% blister free since the 12 hr - good god why wont they just piss off or harden up! (yes yes could say the same about me very funny).

Day one session 1 of a 8 week program – and was almost over before it started when I stepped out the door and almost stacked it on the wet porch. Good start –felt good and the rain was only drizzle – had another runner in front of me and thought about being a smart ass and burning past him but didn’t knowing I would just fade and he would cruise past. Settled into nice rhyme around course – really noticing tightness in calves and hips. Second half of course felt slower maybe just because it started to rain properly – lots of room for improvement but happy enough for first morning out and in the rain

Back, Tris and core… Geez may have been smart to ease into this but no no – full tilt is what we know so full tilt is what we go. Wish I had the old weight recorded because I was all over the shop to light to heavy – first week or two is certainly going to be finding my range again – Technique was pretty bad for some activities too blaming fatigue.
Instant soreness – going to be interesting getting up tomorrow and going for more punishment!

Focused a lot on my legs given how tight they were during the run. Really need to sort out glutes and calves they are insane. Broke out the foam roller – dear god that cause give out some serious pain – all good though. Day 1 down – bring on day 2….
