Cycling 50:58
ahr:133 max:170
Neither of us were really up to running today, so we skipped the O' to do something a little lighter. Unfortunately, cycling the Larkin State Park Trail was not this - awful surface meant we were moving as slow as a run, with a lot of strain on the upper legs to keep moving. It wasn't much fun, so we bailed at half an hour and came back. Ended up being just in time, as then it started to get windy and piss it down.
Guess we probably should have just gone to Ansonia after all! Nevermind!

Hill Walking 1:50:00
Hiking on Lamentation Mountain, not quite at the State Park, but ssssh. It's a great place - some very steep trails but also some lovely woodland and great views. Enjoyed this a lot.
Feeling headachey from the lack of bread and pasta type carbs when we set off, much better by the end. Running might be interesting tomorrow.

ahr:168 max:184 shoes: Pink cohesions
Into work. Felt bad at the start, pretty good by the end. I'm waiting for the lack of glycogen to kick in. Trying a food experiment at the moment, as I am piling on the weight and really can't figure out why.

Cross Fit 1:00:46
ahr:114 max:177
To Cross Fit early! Because it was so warm outside the lab was a sauna - heating on full and air con on full. The heating won. So I escaped. We did some snatches, which were less disastrous than the last time, and then deadlifts and ring rows. Hard work, fun.

Every time I have felt sad or overworked this week, I have looked at this and it made me feel better:

Running 38:44 5.03 km (7:42 / km) +74m 7:11 / km
ahr:143 max:157 shoes: Pink cohesions
Rob had the car for a meeting at silly o' clock. I wasn't planning on running in but that didn't leave me much choice, so I did it below 70% max HR. Very sedate, but at least more fun than walking. Ridiculously warm today - short sleeves and short tights compared to the full cover and gloves of yesterday!
6 PM
Cross Fit 1:00:10
ahr:133 max:179
Really good long warm up today with lots of drills and flexibility work. Then a 90 seconds side plank each side, which I struggled with as my whole shoulder area is stiff from doing too much bench work in hoods. Then the WOD, which was supposed to be 10 sets of 10 toes to bar, 10 box jumps, but my shoulders weren't having that. after 5 of my best toes to bar yet they were done, then I did leg raises off the bar, then when that didn't feel nice, I did strict sit ups. Just good to get out, because work is mega at the moment.

Ran in for the teaching course. Not particularly fun but not particularly bad either. Today I was on time! And I got an egg sandwich!
