Training Log Archive: BA

Went for a lovely mountain bike from weston park out to stromlo, did a mini-lap of stromlo (up to summit and down skyline and luge), then home following the centenary trail through arboretum, cork oaks, aranda, black mtn and bike path through bruce ridge. Was a lovely day and would have really enjoyed it except for magpie swooping number 1 (attacked and pecked my ear - blood), swooping number 2 (just annoying) and swooping number 3 (was totally over it, turned to look bird in the eye, turned back to path to realise i was heading straight for a light post, crashed straight into it and fell, and now have gravel rash and a very sore arm). But on the up side I have now joined up Eucumbene drive to watson in my centenary-trail-quest.

Ginninderra park run. Beautiful morning and felt really good! Wasn't quite a park run PB but only 7 secs off... was really happy with that! Really enjoyed it.

Run to and from park run.

Quick swim of about 400m, practising stroke. Would have liked to go a bit longer but anyhoo, that's just what could be fitted in!

Gossan hill loop x2 (no rest in between). Aim was to do consistent times - I did 7:45 and 7:58 so not quite, but happy with those times. Felt good today and feeling more motivated again. Really enjoyed it and a lovely morning.

Swam 1km practicing aspects of stroke. Enjoyed it!

Rode to and from work

Weights session at the gym

Body balance. Didn't love it and looking forward to the usual teacher coming back!

Ran from work to mum and dads via bike path over commonwealth ave, Parliament House, Melbourne ave and red hill. Really nice! Felt bit weary but not sore and enjoyed running on some old stomping grounds. Ran pretty slow!
