Jogging (c25k) 30:00 [3] 4.5 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: North Face

Week 3.
warm up
2 x 90 sec run, 90 sec walk, 3 min run, 3 min walk.
Cool down.

Felt good.

Took the boat out to Rotto for a dive. Anchored over the GPS coordinates for "Crystal Palace" but dont think we found the right place. Swell messed us around on the bottom so we surfaced after an hour diving and with 50 bar in the tank and we were about 200m north of the boat - whoops! Went back down and on the way back found what i think was the dive spot, heaps of caves and swim thrus which was excellent. Saw heaps of crays, a giant sea snail, eel, lots of reef fish and soft/ hard corals. Beautiful spot.
Will remember to get a cray licence next time!

Diving 1:08:00 [3]

Swimming 45:00 [3]

After the dive headed over to Parakeet bay to have a swim and a snorkel.

Went for a walk/run with the dogs. Lots more running than walking and the runs were getting longer in length which I am pretty stoked about.

RIde to work with Juffy via TTAC. Legs felt very heavy and sore, just didnt have any strength in them this morning. Juffy raced me up every hill which was a killer but i managed to edge ahead on a few of them so that was good!

Cycling (Commute) 41:18 [3] 20.1 km (2:03 / km)
shoes: Clippy ones

Ride home. Felt very flat and legs still heavy but then there were people to race up hills so i got tempted and ended up having a good ride home.

Jogging 35:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Kayano 14

Lunchtime run which was a bit silly considering the temp today! Was suposed to be a c25k run but forgot the ipod with the podcast and then forgot a watch, so that was out. Random run instead.
Headed off towards the Brewery and on the way back found the Kokoda Track heading up to Kings Park, so thought i'd give it a go. Got half way up before i had a break then pushed for the remainder. Contemplated a second go but the heat persuaded me otherwise. Ran back to work with 2 short breaks, one under the bridge and another to grab a drink from the fountain.

Cycling (commute) 40:42 [3] 19.9 km (2:03 / km)

Ride home with Juffy who was testing his shoulder out. I was constantly reminded of my steak sandwich at lunch but besides that it was an enjoyable ride home!!
