Run 1:04:41 [3] 13.0 km (4:59 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5
Round McLeans Island and along the track to the river (where I had a little explore). I'm not sure how I feel about having distance markers every km as it meant I was looking at my watch counting down until I'd get to the next one...made the minutes go by super slow so probably a bad habbit!

Run 40:50 [3] 8.0 km (5:06 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5
Round Hagley Park with Brent from his place. Felt sluggish and tired which is partly 'cause running on the flat exhausts my brain for some bizzare reason and I find it really hard. My hands turned into blocks of ice and it started to drizzle when we got back...just in time to discover Brent's flatmates had locked us out and so I turned into a block of ice all over as we wandered round the neighbourhood trying to find someone with a ladder! It's bitterly cold and I hate it!!
Climbing (Indoor - TR) 3:00:00 [3]
Indoor climbing with Brent at The Roxx. Weather wasn't quite up to our outside climbing plans. Was tough but good. A lot of climbs were quite different to Extreme Edge so it was pretty exhausting to get your mind around to start with. Good fun and Brent pushed me a bit - got up my first ever 19 which rocked but was frustrated I failed halfway up my last climb - an 18 (in all fairness, it was pretty ridiculously hard and I was a little bit short for it but you always want to finish your last climb...it's a psychological thing!).

Note
Walked around the gun emplacements on the Port Hills with David in the driving rain with a bitterly southerly! Did I bring the Auckland rain down with me? If it doesn't stop raining soon I might go insane. Too much to fit in!

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 10:00 [1]
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5
Round the block once I got home.

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.
