run 30:00 [3]

Jogging with Alfie in tow at a trot from cherry gardens to Scott creek and some of return- the unridden bits along road. For purpose of riding lesson. Callum came too. A bit lethargic in the humidity. This outing is something I always enjoy - running / walking through bush down to instructors lovely green valley with 2 furry friends.

horse riding 20:00 [3]

Logging time I was working hard in lesson not the cruisy bits in lesson or riding home. Sweaty work. Trying to be clearer and consistent in aids. A bit of retraining body required - great bit about having a lesson instructions and feedback. Instructor worked with Alfie too and it was great to see what he could do.

Monday Nov 26, 2012 #

swim 21:00 [3] 1.1 km (19:05 / km)

Very short swim after work at Noarlunga pool. 25 m lane and water quite warm and choppy as crowded. Not my favourite swim but at least I got that nice post swim tired shoulders feel!

Sunday Nov 25, 2012 #

run 1:07:00 [3]

Bridgy run with crew - bowling green loop. Lovely cool morning. Coffee after at Stirling was devine, as was choc dipped strawberry from stall at Stirling markets.

Later, in evening had a family game of cricket at frank smith park with brad and kath. First time in ages. Poor leith bowled over by an excited Callum mid run- Callum's first cricket game. After hot day, evening was surprisingly cool, overcast and windy.

Logging part of 60 min session where I was really focused on core & exercises to help Alfie use his better too ( not terribly successfully).

Leisurely jog in Belair on a warm morning with Callum. Up to Kaloola track and back along creek.

Thursday Nov 22, 2012 #

run 50:00 [3]

From home to meet crew, up steps and down steep track over railway line. A beautiful evening.

Then zoomed off to town for opening of another school Mum's art exhibition ( funnily enough the 2 Mum's I know of at schools who are painters have had their exhibitions on consecutive nights ). Needless to say I was the only person there in running gear. Lots of ranges in paintings - stark or rolling - inspired by our recent Flinders weekend. Tarn featured in another painting 'girl on sofa'!

yoga 15:00 [3]

A before work stretch!

After run walked to top of Park via echo tunnel and waterfalls ( now dry ) with my cousin who was visiting and Callum and Gough. Picnicked at dam between QJD and saddle hill track. Lovely way to spend day. A couple of hours of walking.

Warm up/ recovery/ cool down

Monday Nov 19, 2012 #

Intervals is probably an exaggeration as I really wasn't moving with much speed . Nice morning though. Callum enjoyed himself too.

swim (Freestyle) 19:30 [3] 1.0 km (19:30 / km)

Yay a swim! After work as Tarn was on pick up and dinner duty and I was at Marion for end of day meeting. Felt quite good in water for some reason.

Sunday Nov 18, 2012 #

run (Jog) 1:00:00 [3]

Didn't sleep well - tummy still a bit yuck so stayed in bed and missed Bridgy run. At a civilized hour - 9.30 - did a sedate jog with Callum in Belair.

Followed by an hour ride on Alfie, focussing on core but pretty low key.

Saturday Nov 17, 2012 #

Note

Feeling better than yesterday but still not keen enough for a run, so went for light exercise of leisurely walk with Leith and Callum and then pet and gardening jobs.
Fun evening : premiere of 'Justice Wears a Star', followed by cast party ! First film of ' hawthorndene productions.'

Note
(sick)

Came back from lovely dinner at Fern and Tyson's feeling a bit off - thought I'd just eaten to much. But a couple of hours later , it became violently clear I was latest victim of gastro bug going around school at the moment.

I tried to do a few jobs but after walking back from dropping car off for new tyres, I felt exhausted, and ended up on the sofa for much of the rest of the day.

Thursday Nov 15, 2012 #

run 1:00:00 [3]

From home across golf course to meet the crew then up to end of Redwoods and back. Started off tired but felt better as I went. Jenny surged at end so had fun picking up pace to keep up.

cycle 44:00 [3]

Cycled last part of trip from work at Morphett Vale to meeting in town. Just from Mitcham and back. Great to be on bike. Traffic crawled up Old Belair rd on way home a man on a mountain bike passed me at one point!

yoga 10:00 [3]

More needed!

Wednesday Nov 14, 2012 #

run 48:00 [3]

Medium rather than long today as a school assembly to go to. From home east up park fence line track, until at bitumen again. Left down this, the valley road, followed road until back onto tracks leading to gate above golf course. Felt good and tried to keep up a reasonable pace. Need to work out a quick way of measuring distances as I never know! Guessing it was about 8 or so kms.

Time a guess as took more like 1 hr 20 but stopped several times to try and stop a loose and unregistered Alsatian following us and for Callum to have drinks. Home, Turners Ave, olave hill, east along park boundary until reached road, then followed this through long gully to home. Feet just starting to hurt at end. Must sort them out.
