Training Log Archive: T - runner

Run from home up Milton Rd, Sealy Rd, past NGHS, up onto Bluff Hill, two loops of the gully/lookout track, then up Karaka Rd/Seapoint Rd, back over and down past NGHS again, then over and along Napier Tce, loop of the botanic gardens, past the old hospital and down Chaucer Steps, back along Battery Rd home. Pretty slow today but got more into it as the run went along.

Painball with friends from work by the Tukituki River. Good way to spend a Saturday morning, and not too many bruises... Should really have gone for a run in the afternoon but didn't quite get there.

First medical long day - simultaneous calls about a guy vomiting blood and a guy in fast AF, then got called by switchboard to ask why I wasn't answering my pager...

To work in the rain in the morning with Rory. Slow ride in again but chatting most of the way. Went the faster way over Milton Rd and down past NBHS.

Home from work in the drizzle by myself. Quite a nice ride, not too cold and the traffic was pretty good.

Havelock Schools - Summer Series. Loops, started with Amber and Rita, which made it a bit more race like, which was cool. Made a few small mistakes on my first loop, but nothing major. Lost the most time on 13, where there was an unmarked gate blocking the optimal route choice and I had to double back almost the whole length of the leg, and on 24, where I just took a terrible route through the buildings andd got confused, instead of going the easy way round the outside...

Warm up and down with Amber, just around the streets and school. Probably wasn't quite long enough, but I was a bit lazy.

Two quarters of indoor netball. Kind of glad we had a massive team - I was pretty tired by 8pm.

To work, 6.30am, with Rory and Germ. Went the slow way round the bottom of the hill, and pretty cruisy - don't know what Rory was up to but he lead the whole way and wasn't going that fast. Wasn't really awake enough to do anything about it though!

Home from work, same way as this morning, with Germ and Rowan this time - Rowan was cranking it and despite the headwind we were going pretty fast. She peeled off to go to Taradale so Germ and I tried to keep up the pace the rest of the way home - just about managed it I think.

Played for the other team against ours, then two quarters for ours the next game. Pretty good games, but indoor soccer claimed another victim - an MLCL tear for our goalie. Turns out indoor sports are a major cost in terms of hours of work lost for the DHB...
