Training Log Archive: Vaala

Bit of a jog to loosen up from home up Albert Tce to the hut thingy then down Farm Track with a bit of a detour to get home. Massive headache from too much rich brownie at afternoon tea but the run might have actually helped. Legs took some time to come to a more acceptable feeling.

C • too much rich brownie 2

Cruisingt on the tandem with M out to lunch in Tai Tapu...via a rather long detour. Then we had to do some detours on the way home too. Lovely day.

With Nick up Bowenvale and adventuring along the tops to the Bellbird and back. Feeling pretty sluggish going up the hill but once at the top I felt pretty good. I think I might have pushed Nick quite hard and quite a bit longer than he imagined although I did get him running in front after a while so I didn't get too far ahead! So nice to have company and the weather was glorious.

Pretty happy with my running at the moment. Seem to be much better at keeping on going for longer even if I'm still no faster than a snail.

New bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So exciting! On a little ride out to Ferrymead and back with M. Feeling a little wobbly and unsure but it is so exciting! Need to stock up on all sorts of tyres now :-P

Early morning long intervals up Rapaki and around a bit. Started off feeling quite sluggish but got going pretty well. My toes felt a bit bruised by the time I got down the hill though which was a bit weird.

With M on the tandem from work out along Old Tai Tapu road a bit with an explore up a deadend road before heading back into a howling headwind. Feeling a little jaded today.

Yay! Back to being able to do stuff (although requiring pain killers to function). Got to go up a fun track that I don't remember ever going on although apparently I have been on it before. Then it was more misty, slippery fun.

Stomach pains were on fine form so stayed home to rest.
