Rowing Machine warm up/down 8:46 [4] 2.0 km (4:23 / km)

This has got really hard again (not that it was ever remotely easy!) although I suspect the wrist might have something to do with it.

Gym (weights and core) 1:15:00 [3]

My current program...it's a killer. Managed to get the weights moving up a bit better though (each set the weights increase but the reps go down).

Run 49:05 [3] 10.0 km (4:55 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5

Running home from work. Broke the 50 minute barrier...yay!!! Weird 'cause apart from the first 15 minutes I felt so sluggish and was fairly convinced it would be around the 52 minute mark. Pack felt light today though despite having everything it normally has in it. I've noticed that my breathing is not so good in the afternoons/evenings...interesting.

Run warm up/down (treadmill) 22:00 [2]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5

10 minute warmup, 12 minute warm down. Always amazes me how much stiffness and achiness can melt away in a nice warmup!

Run intervals (treadmill) 20:00 [5]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5

Same as last week but with a couple of sets done with a small incline. Felt all right at the time but getting old stomach pains afterwards. Went away quicker than I remember though.

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

My thighs were burning today...probably from the mtbing yesterday (especially 'cause I didn't stretch afterwards yesterday as it was so cold and wet). Wrist and most of my lower right arm was sore. Damn it. I need to ice it more religiously but at least the bandage thing makes it bearable. Anyway, tough class but was good especially because Coldplay was on the speakers before class started (even Yellow! Yay!) so that put me in a good mood.

Gym (core and stretches) 20:00 [3]

Climbing 2:15:00 [3]

With Chris...and my new harness!!! Very exciting! It was really cold which made it pretty hard to get going and I was struggling on an easy climb! Oh well, we decided to just get straight into it after our shocking warmup and I mostly climbed okay but than damn orange 18 is annoying me as again it's a case of being a bit too short. My right arm is really not good though. Struggled more than usual with it tonight. But I did ice it up afterwards which felt good.

MTB (mtb) 2:20:00 [3]
shoes: Skulls

Out at the bike park in the mud and the rain. Good fun! Even cruised on down to the tracks at the far end of the park which was probably a good idea since the closer in tracks were really cut up. Felt pretty good.

Run 20:23 [3] 4.0 km (5:06 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5

To the gym...best not to ask what time I got up in order to do this. Pack felt nice and light but I felt slow and sluggish which was rather understandable! Pretty warm out.

shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

More hills than normal so more pain than I wanted. Legs felt pretty good though once they got warmed up.

Run 37:52 [3] 7.5 km (5:03 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5

From the gym down to near the bottom of Parnell to drop off a birthday present (thank god it was small and light) then back up the damn hill, along Broadway then down Great South Road to home again. Beautiful morning. Didn't feel nearly as shattered as I anticipated but I'm going back to bed anyway. Lower calves are a bit tight but not too bad. Rest of my legs feel fine. Pack felt much heavier on the return journey though!
