Run 48:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Same as Sunday's run without the dithering over the tracks so although the time is the same it was slower. I'll blame it on it still being rather dark when I got into the forest bits!

Run 48:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

It was supposed to be the same run as Tuesday morning but I got down near the bottom of the domain only to discover a gate saying no entry on my usual track back up...and the next track a little further down said that too so I had to go all the way down to the bottom and come up the proper sealed track from next to the tennis courts. Not as pretty but, well, even more of a hill so that could be counted as a bonus!

Gym - Cardio (Crosstrainer/Summit) 30:00 [4]

Giving the legs a bit of a break with less impact plus it was late.

Gym (Weights and Stretches) 20:00 [3]

Testing out what the wrist can do...arms are weak as anything and bicep curls are very difficult since I can't twist the wrist round far enough. Better than I thought all round though.

Run 25:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Early morning run with Jono round the roads in the Domain. Felt awful, tired and slow but turns out we did the run in pretty good time.

Run 12:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

To the gym...all good. The bag felt real light today probably after walking around lots of today with my work backpack.

Peloton (Spin) class 1:00:00 [4]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Couldn't get my heart rate up as much as usual 'cause my thighs felt real stiff and tired so they couldn't go as hard as usual. Good class though.

Run 12:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

And home again.

Run 48:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Hello Ayr Street...long time no see!
An early morning run along to Parnell so I could tackle running up Ayr Street again then back through the bush tracks in the Domain. It felt really nice to be out by myself for once.

Orienteering race (OY8 - Spaghetti Soup) 1:42:13 [3] ***** 6.8 km (15:02 / km)
shoes: Jalas Black FLX

Not too bad. I was fairly slow (still not feeling that great) and made mistakes on about 3 controls (one after finding Mum lost in the forest and pointing her in the right direction...and then running off on some funny angle and ending up, well, not where I wanted to be!). Oh well, no more orienteering for me till Labour Weekend so that shall be interesting.

MTB 2:30:00 [2]

Along the cycle-way to the new Full Cycle and back with the odd detour. Just cruising but legs were tired by the end so we must have been working.

Friday Sep 19, 2008 #

Run 42:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

This plus mountains of walking and my legs felt dead by the end of the day. Ran from town up to Ponsonby and round there then back home. Town is annoying...too many damn traffic lights.

Note

Bad bad day.

Wednesday Sep 17, 2008 #

Run 14:00 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Running to gym after work. Feeling sluggish.

Peloton (Spin) class 1:00:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Good, tough class. I was dead by the last track.

Run 12:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Back home again. It started to rain on me and the run up the hill from the gym felt a bit rough but I got home in one piece!

Tuesday Sep 16, 2008 #

Peloton (Spin) class 50:00 [4]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Still not feeling 100% but class was good...although pretty tough.

Sunday Sep 14, 2008 #

Orienteering race (OY7 - Waiuku) 1:22:39 [3]
(sick) shoes: Jalas Black FLX

Feeling like crap after about 10 minutes so I should have listened to Jono and done Red 3 instead of Red 2. Oh well. I pottered round and found pretty much everything fairly easily. Just no speed. Managed to roll my dud ankle within half a metre of the finish though!

Some kind of cold I'm guessing :(

Wednesday Sep 10, 2008 #

Run 14:00 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

To the gym after work. Feeling a little crap.

Peloton (Spin) class 1:00:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Lincoln's evening class. Lots of sprint/hill combos which were tough as it was hard to judge how much effort to put in for each section and generally I ended up going a little too hard out too early!

Run 12:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

As usual the run home was easier.

Tuesday Sep 9, 2008 #

Peloton (Spin) class 45:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Just the usual Tuesday morning girl power class with Janelle screaming at us!

Sunday Sep 7, 2008 #

Run (Trail Run - Tawharanui) 1:15:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Gel Trabuco IX WR

Running from the bay (after the exhausting 5 minutes walk up the hill to the top of the road...one day I will run that hill but not today) along the South Coast track to then Fishermans Trail (scaring a couple of fisherman on their way back) then back up to the South Coast track and back home. Bloody steep...I'd forgotten just how many big hills there are out there!

Saturday Sep 6, 2008 #

MTB 2:30:00 [2]

Biking round Tawharanui. Attempting to learn how to use clip pedals. I am an incredibly slow learner!

Friday Sep 5, 2008 #

Note

Lots of walking round. Didn't feel like much else.

Thursday Sep 4, 2008 #

MTB 15:00 [2]

Biking to the street orienteering in Ponsonby. A bit pushed for time.

Orienteering (Ponsonby Night Event) 1:04:08 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Well, we got 14 controls (although they didn't record our results...maybe they got lost?) but the last one we went to was missing. Was surprisingly hilly but good fun.

MTB 20:00 [3]

I need a new seat for my bike since it is SO uncomfortable! Anyway, it was a much harder ride back since the hills were substantially bigger!

Wednesday Sep 3, 2008 #

Run 15:00 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Running to the gym after work. Tired.

Peloton (Spin) class 1:00:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Tough but good. Was in a crap mood when I arrived and left in an exhausted, but good mood.

Run 12:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

As usual the run home from the gym was easier despite having just killed myself for an hour at spin. Weird.

Tuesday Sep 2, 2008 #

Run 15:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Running to the gym with Jono at some ungodly hour. We must have been mad last night when we decided on the plan. My legs did not want to move this morning.

Peloton (Spin) class 50:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

Janelle's class. Pure torture!

Run 15:00 [3]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 3

Feeling quite a lot better on the way back from the gym.
