Training Log Archive: Vaala

Along Muriwai Beach while Kiri was surfing. I had wanted to do intervals on the beach but we were there at high tide so it was incredibly tough running as it was with pretty much every step sinking into the sand or running in the water. Was good fun though but not as good as the swim afterwards.

To and from the gym. Even survived the roadworks where K'Rd turned into a 1 lane scramble (although a car seemed to want to drive backwards...into where I was but I dived out of the way).

Twice round the outside tracks at the Domain from the gym...both directions. Felt like I was dying in the humidity. It was awful. But seriously, my running also sucks and I was quite glad just to still be alive by the end.

Super stretchy and twisty and good (although painful).

At Extreme Edge with Ee. It was so humid I felt like I was swimming! Didn't do too much tough stuff but did do the funny overhang area I've never done before...twice and a few (as in, like, 3 sets because I am so weak!) dead hangs. Feet and fingers are really sore.

Course was okay and the street bits weren't as hellish as usual but it is just so flat and I just can't run. Plus it's that time so my body is trying its best to kill me. Doesn't help that I just keep feeling more and more SFU. Perhaps it is time to give up and take up knitting instead?
:(

To and from the gym. Some drivers don't look at all. Lucky I was paying attention.

It's been a while! But legs were feeling quite good on the bike. Maria takes a tough class.

Finally feeling relatively normal again...yay! Did my usual longish run backwards with an extra hill thrown in for good measure. It's a lot steeper this way (2 very steep hills in a row). Was slow on the flat and downhill but felt really good on the uphills. Definitely a good run...until the last 20 minutes when the side of my neck decided to really hurt and I had to stop a couple of times and stretch it out. I thought I might have to walk but everything else felt good so I pushed on. Seemed to be mostly gone by the time I got up the last hill to my house.

Then I was a good girl and did lots of stretches in the back garden.

C • That is good! 2

At the Roxx with Michael. I think my arms were still tired from Saturday and didn't start off well at all...but improved a little bit by the end I guess.
