I got a really good workout in on Sunday. Went up the green trail, which also goes into the Botanical gardens but starts at a little park round the corner and then goes almost straight up for 300meters. Its pretty much all stairs and is a killer ( Read more... )

Another great run this morning. The weather has still been crappy, but perfect for running. I forgot to mention in the last post that Id done two laps up and around the Red Arrow trail. My legs were a little tired yesterday and the day got away from me, so this morning I was determinded to run. got out there and felt still a little tired but pushed ( Read more... )

Really great run this morning. i walked the dogs, came home fed them and was back out by just gone 9am. Having a bit of a cold snap here at the moment so didnt want to go out too early, but its perfect for running. It makes so much difference to my stamina. My heart doesnt race so bad and my legs dont ache as bad. Although one thigh is really ( Read more... )

I was getting a really good rhythm back again there for a while, then the rain and cold started and the swimming dropped off. I battled on with the running and was making progress, although the weight still isn’t shifting from around 75kg. It came down to 74 then i got a cold with horrible headaches and everything went down the crapper. On Monday i ( Read more... )

Its been a bad week for workouts. Last couple of weeks its done nothing but rain, which considering this is the dry season is really strange. R has been busy and is also still avoiding taking both dogs out for a walk, so Im having to do both morning and evening which doesnt leave me much of a window to get out and run. Swimming dropped off too as ( Read more... )

Yesterday evening I stepped on the scale and got a shock of my life when it registered 76.9km. I think that is a record. Of course that scale hasnt always been the most accurate, but my stomach has lately felt like it could be true. Strangely this fell on the same day that I swam in the morning and ran in the evening. I havent done a double workout ( Read more... )

I got very depressed last week and hardly went out at all. if it wasn't for the dogs and R i could have just sat an sulked all week and this week too probably. Since hurting my foot, i haven't run in about 2 maybe 3 months. Ive tried to ride, but haven't much felt like it for some reason and only managed a handful of half assed rides in all those ( Read more... )

I'm about to walk out the door to pick up a friend at the airport. I say to R's Dad, "I'm off to pick up S ( Read more... )

They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree when looking at kids and their actions. R's parents are in town and Ive seen some traits in them that now make more sense with the way R acts ( Read more... )

I finally finished the plumbing on the downstairs half bath. Id been dragging my feet on it because I knew there were so many tight joints and hook ups to do. The bathroom was going in near a bunch of old plumbing and Id have to cut most of it out or reattach my new lines to all the old existing stuff. When you do this in tight spaces with old pipe ( Read more... )
