On the tandem with M up Rapaki and down Mt Pleasant with the southerly not that far behind us. Felt shattered today.

Up Mt Richardson with M. Really nice day and I felt okay on the way up but exhaustion hit not long after that and got pretty dizzy. But I guess it's some kind of progress?

From work on the tandem with M up Huntsbury and along the tops then down Evans Pass to Sumner and home. Such a beautiful, warm, still night.

Big day for an exhausted Katie. On the tandem with M up Dyers and along the cold tops in the thick, awful cloud then down to Gebbies and round to Purau. Up and over to Port Levy then up and over Western Valley (with a picnic midway) to Little River (2nd lunch of course). Home via the rail trail and some back roads. The weather was pretty nice once we got to Diamond Harbour but I totally overdid it. It's so hard to tell at the moment. Hopefully my body will forgive me. M is amazing! I mean, he was doing a rather large amount of the work on the climbs and wasn't even feeling that great either.

Was going to walk home from work but was so tired I never would have made it. M picked me up on the tandem instead.

Road Bike 2:40:00 [3]
shoes: Shimano WM64
To Lyttelton for vegan cake then back again with M on the tandem. Feeling a bit like I overdid it especially as I wore myself out vacuuming first. But the sun was out and it was warm so feels worth it.

Road Bike 2:25:00 [3]
shoes: Shimano WM64
On the tandem with M up Rapaki and along the tops partway to Godley Head then down Evans Pass to Sumner for a cafe stop before heading home. It's hard work trying to take it really easy! Had to have a long rest just past Rapaki and then a lie down for most of the afternoon once we got home. I want to feel normal again :-(

Managed a snail-paced walk round the park with Clare. Feels like a miracle that I even left the house at all today. I will be glad for this week to become a distant memory.

Walk 3:20:00 [3]
shoes: Salomon S-Lab Speed
Easy tracks at the pass all still shut so we went a little way up the Avalanche Peak track but turned around when I started panicking about how I was going to get down (got down "fine" of course) so then went up Scotts Track until about the tree line. Was feeling pretty awful not long before that so it was a slow descent. Back to the house for delicious fresh bread again!

Walk 4:55:00 [3]
shoes: Salomon S-Lab Speed
With M up the track to the Lagoon Saddle and then through the bush and along the river a bit before heading back again. Boggy but awesome. Hoping to come back and tramp the whole route shortly. I've always wanted to run the Cass Lagoon loop but tramping it to start with is probably best right now.

Run 2:40:00 [3]
shoes: Salomon S-Lab Speed
Jog/walk up Bealey Spur with M to a bit past the hut then mostly jogging back down again. The sun was out at Bealey which was nice but of course it was raining when we got back to the pass (but there was fresh bread ready and waiting for us so that was a bonus).

Run 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: Salomon S-Lab Speed
So wet and all the nice runnable tracks at Arthurs Pass were closed so M had us running back and forth so I didn't get too grouchy!

Morning jog up Huntsbury a bit and back down. Body feeling really awful running again. Too much pain so had to stop a few times.

Run 1:55:00 [3]
shoes: Salomon S-Lab Speed
Taking it easy up Scarborough Bluffs and along the mtb tracks (with a detour over Breeze Col because I got confused) to Godley Head and back via the Crater Rim and Captain Thomas. Beautiful morning and feeling physically better than expected but made sure to keep an easy pace.

Road Bike 1:22:00 [3]

Struggled round a walk with M at snail pace. Feeling really sick tonight :-(

Strength and Conditioning 30:00 [3]
Good old pilates workout. Everything is tired and my ankle still hurts heaps. I think it hurts more today than yesterday as it's hard to walk on now. Oh well, the weather was particularly crap tonight anyway.

Run 1:30:08 [3]
shoes: Salomon S-Lab Speed
Not feeling too good so ditched the cold, wet rogaine for a wet run which was pretty good. From home up Farm Track (nearly scaring myself senseless when my light first made some sheep's eyes light up...I'd forgotten about that!), over Mt Vernon with almost no visibility even with a headlight (damn mist) and along the tops a bit before heading down Rapaki and home. Taking it super easy but my ankle was super sore by the time I got home. Not sure why. Can I blame Rapaki? I hate Rapaki!!!

(rest day)
Feeling emotionly and physically drained. Sat on Clare's couch drinking hot chocolate. That was infinitely better than going out in the dark and the cold.

Road Bike 55:01 [3]
shoes: Salomon S-Lab Speed
Attempting to make the most of a little more daylight in the morning but that didn't go so well since it was cloudy and drizzly so still super dark! From home partway up Rapaki and back down the valley. Feeling okay I guess but not great.

On the tandem to Rangiora via Rapaki and Mt Pleasant to cheer on Clare. So beautiful and hot! Feeling really crap.

Home from Rangiora in the cold and the drizzle. Struggle street today.

Run 1:50:00 [3]
shoes: Salomon S-Lab Speed
From home with M cruising up the bus stop then the mtb tracks beside Huntsbury to the top. Cruising along the tops for a bit before playing rigger on the way down Farm track. Really lovely afternoon with blue sky and everything and pretty special to be running with M. Not the long run I had planned but the run I needed today.
