So, on Saturday morning I got my little bum out of bed despite the very tempting warm doona and took hilary out for a bit of a ride. I rode for about an hour and a half at a fairly consistent pace and rode through hamilton, adamstown, around the beaches then back home. For once there wasnt too much wind which made me happy although there was still the annoying cars...I nearly got hit 3 times on the one ride, with people just not stopping at stop signs, or giving way to me a T intersections...grrr...
I then treated my self to a big fat ass breakfast with bacon and eggs etc, and then went for a bit of a walk with the pooch!
Sunday i had all intentions of going for a run, but then ended up going bush walking through Glenrock National Park and walked up adn down hills for about 4 hours so i figured i could do without the run today...i did do about a 500m jog to the car though, just so that i could say i did!
This morning (Tuesday) I got up and went for a 45 min run from Nobbys beach past the baths up to and around king Edward Park adn back. it was weird at one part where i was running up this massive hill i got a big burst of energy and my legs jjust took off, and i actually overtook another runner...weird. Must be running faster though, cause if you will recall (those who are avid blog readers of course) when i ran this course last, i did half of it minus the hills and it took 40mins. So yeah! Am wondering after 2 years though why i am getting blisters on my toes......me thinks its time for some new running shoes...
Then this afternoon, I went for an hours ride around the beaches and did a couple of laps of fort scrathcley hill and came home. Was overtaken by another cyclist when i was daydreaming adn then raced really hard all the way home to catch her, so ended up quite the breathless....works for me....
Miners....in answer to your question. I didnt realise that I could enter the clubs event, but i am thinking about it...dont know that i can run 8K in a reasonable time though...probably looking around an hour and a bit...is that too slow? You know A from her mum, apparently you guys used to work together....geez this world is just too small yeah :)
