Training Log Archive: Vaala

Cold and mentally tired but I had to give it my best shot to help out M on his crazy climbing challenge. Ended up just driving to the cafe afterwards though for the desired cake instead of the planned extra biking loop.

Morning run in the sun. The hills are always awesome. Being careful to take it easy as I know I've been doing a lot of big stuff over the last couple of months and last weekend I was so mentally worn out I was quite keen not do anything for a while. Well we can see how that went!

Little run in the valley in the morning. So tired but this perked me up and probably helped get me through the crazy deadline at work.

Scary wind! We got up Evans Pass and nearly to the top of Mt Pleasant before the wind just got too much and too scary to carry on along the tops so had a very slow, careful descent down Mt Pleasant. That was a bit tragic as I was really enjoying being out on the bike again. All this running and long events has meant much less biking allowed and that was making me a bit sad.

Wednesday night run up Kennedy's. Feeling better than I expected but when one of the new girls wasn't keeping up I thought it might be a good idea to keep her company 'cause that would force me to slow down. I probably didn't want to slow down quite that much but it was still good.

Spending most of the evening relaxing in the dentist's chair. Now my jaw is so sore from holding my mouth open for so long! Serves me right for not going for something like 15 years!

I did stay up too long reading my book though...
