Got home from a day of Corn mazing and did DD. Throttle workout with 15#.
These workouts are starting to feel a little too easy perhaps, but I only have two more weeks left in this block, so will continue at this level then move up. Do need some heavier dumbbells for sure though!
Easy cycle in and out. I left work sleepy and was still sleepy when I got home - so I skipped Dumbbell Domination for an evening on the sofa. I think I definitely overdid it a bit on Wednesday :) But it was fun!
Lots of cycling today, all soggy. Into work, out to the Fells, than back home up the huge hill in Medford. Very tired by the end. Glad I took the mountain bike in the damp.

Hanging controls just before dark. Started out well then stopped being able to read the map on the run as the light failed. Really enjoyed being out in the glorious autumn colours. And got back at the perfect run time - 43.43.

Quick dumbdell domination as dinner bubbled. Probably over did it today.
Into work and back at easy pace, low gear up the hills on the way home. Nice active recovery. On the way in to work Sullivan Square was closed as a truck had turned over on the curve. From a distance I could see a bike wheel sticking out of the wrecking and my stomach sank, only to realise when I got closer that the truck was in fact a scrap metal truck, and the bike was scrap. Phew.

Yesterday was my "long" session so today I did the brown. Good choice, the contours at Great Brook are really good but the running is a little rougher. I had some moments where I was moving well today, and some where I was struggling. I totally minced the river crossing. Nice afternoon with the juniors and then some errand running. All good. Really enjoyed two orienteering sessions in a weekend, my brain is already feeling sharper, even if my legs aren't. I'm going to treat this 6 week DD as a base, and then add an intervals session in I think for the next set.

Glad that DD was short today - didn't want to do it at all really! Did Peak, first round with 15#, then the next two with 10# as my left side was much worse than my right.
