Training Log Archive: Vaala

With Andy, Mike and Anna at Albany. It's like a ridiculous maze of tracks out there! Actually quite cool but Andy wasn't so thrilled (he wanted his downhill thrills). My cornering sucks but I was getting a lot better by the end so would have been quite keen to continue. I can't believe how many tracks they've managed to squeeze into such a tiny area!

C • spaghetti track 2

To and from the gym. It's SO hot out there. Oh, and traffic is much busier than when I normally cycle this route. Still nice to be on the bike (and yay for putting it back together correctly without the drama like last time!).

One of the classes at the gym. I was talking to the instructor beforehand and she asked me what was tight which was cool 'cause she ended up basing the class all around those areas and I feel SO much better. I should make a conscious effort to go to more of these classes at least up until Christmas because it's good not only for my muscles but also really helps my whole breathing problem.

Down to and round the lake with a few circles then out and around Jaggers Bush and back again. My vain hope for an appetite and an end to nausea was not answered but didn't feel all that bad while I was actually running. Very slow but foot is feeling pretty much normal now. Yay! Oh, and I was running blind 'cause I hate running in glasses and I couldn't be bothered putting on my contacts. It was a kind of surreal experience but I didn't trip over any tree roots so that was good.

Round the lake.

What was I thinking letting Cath and Lisa talk me into running course 1?! Turns out Cath only ran course 2 anyway! I jogged the first bit until it went out onto the streets and then I walked 'cause there was a bit of uphill and I felt tired. Then I caught up to Owen so I felt like I had to run again...argh! SO dead by the end that it just wasn't funny! But nice to see that my legs sort of work! Thighs are tired as though.

C • Great... 4

I think I might have actually slept almost all of today in fits and starts. You could probably even count the hours I was fully awake on one hand! Okay, maybe not quite but it felt like it.
