Not in the headspace but the scenery was nice. Lots of little mistakes where I wasn't thinking at all and I was not too happy after getting zapped by the fence twice near the end. But the fresh air was nice and I didn't get lost so can't have been too bad!

No idea how long we were out so that time will do for now. Was feeling pretty tired before I even got on the bike but at least having Natie with us meant there wasn't going to be any speed. Partway through we all went ahead and I think I did pretty well...kept up with Alice especially on the hills which, as usual, is my strong point. Alice and Sandra seem to get along so that's really good. Yay for having a team!

The walk round the block ended up being a bit longer! Was originally going to bike to the gym and go to yoga in the morning but my wrist hurt too much to attempt that so I fell asleep and had nightmares until Jono got back and woke me up. Took a fair amount of effort to get out the door for this walk but felt slightly more sane on my return.

SO hard today! Wasn't going terribly fast especially on the sprints but my legs were definitely telling me I was working. My right wrist is really really really really (yes, 4 reallys) sore now (a couple of hours later) though which is odd 'cause I wasn't putting much pressure on the handlebars. Are all my old injuries coming back to haunt me now with the onset of the colder weather? Makes me feel like I'm falling apart even more :(

Wrist has got worse through the day and have been hit by some kind of blinding headache. How is it that I woke up feeling pretty good and wound up feeling so crap? Is the world trying to tell me something?

Memory course with Jono. It was pretty easy since we know the park pretty well but Jono needs practice at reading the control circle - his route choices were good but once we'd get to the general area he'd be a little lost. Good fun though and he's definitely improving. My legs felt dead though and my left shoulder (the one I broke) is starting to hurt a lot when I run.

Slow run round the outer dirt track of OTH with Jono. Feeling pretty bad and really unmotivated to start with but it kind of improved. Hips feel pretty stiff though but we did it!

Crap day but some interesting discoveries. Run tomorrow hopefully at last...

Walk with Jono from work then up Mt Eden. Was fun going for a little adventure and we got to see the sun go down.
