walkie talkie

My run at the Tan lasted about 1/2 lap this morning. I was feeling great and running fast, so why did I stop you ask?

Because I ran past a very rugged up Fi and decided to spend the hour walking and talking with her.  We haven't run together for such a long time and we have so much to catch up on.  We barely touched the surface today but we did set ourselves some training goals for when we're both back on the running track for real in a couple of weeks.

My laptop's been in the shop for a few days so I haven't been able to post.

Sat
Made it down to Mordi and back with the bunch!  Yeee Haaa!  I was so excited.  I should mention that the bunch rode back slower than usual so they could practise rolling turns.  They clapped for me when we got back to St Kilda because I was so excited to still be there with them.

It was confidence boosting even though I know I'll get dropped again next week.

Sun
I walked for 2 1/2 hours today to get home after a massage.  My back was so tight that Bec didn't get time to work on my legs as well. 
We started doing a kb workout in the backyard but I was concerned about Helen's technique.  I knew she was moving unsafely but I couldn't work out how to correct it. 
We took the tyre and rope down to the car park and spent the hour on rope shenanigans and tyre runs.

Mon
I ran for 6.5kms this morning around Princes Park, I held a pretty good pace and felt good.

I feel like I'm finally on the way back.  It's a good feeling.  I like it.

Still a bit tuckered out

AM

It was a nice sunny morning so I walked down to Mixed Business to have breakfast with an old friend.  I almost ordered something other than the porridge, I'd even picked it out and all but when the waitress came.....porridge please!

After calling in to Piedemonte's for some groceries I pottered around at home and had a nanna nap this arvo.  Not as much as a mega sleep as yesterday but I'm still pretty tired.

PM Jeff's in the alleyway

I was loving the tyre jump in and outs last week so I was happy when Jeff said we could do them again this week.  I concentrated on getting my knees high so I could keep my feet together and managed to hold my form for the entire 10 rounds.  Next I need to work on landing lightly because I do a pretty good impression of an elephant at the moment.
I need to practise, speed and intensity for CX.

20kg medicine ball
squat to push press 30 secs on 30 secs rest x 10 (5-7 each time)
slams 30 secs on 30 secs rest x 5 (7-8)
tyre jumps in and out 30 secs on 30 secs rest x 10
medicine side to side slams  - I think the 6 kg ball 30 secs on 30 secs rest (19-21 each time)

No shoes for riding

AM

I was a little cranky when I woke up this morning and realised that while I'd brought my bike home with me I'd forgotten my shoes.  That meant no beautiful country ride for me.....sad face.

My legs had pulled up a little weary from yesterday so running wasn't really on the menu for today.  Instead I walked up One Tree Hill (the longer 4% side, not the killer 5%).  At the top, I did 100 burpees then a threepeat of the lookout tower.

Gorgeous Day again!

Off to the Bendigo Madison tonight to check out the cyclists.  Fun!
