Well I am back!
Thanks all for the birthday wishes! Went out had me some drinking, some gifts and then a nice little night in a motel :) I got a bit spoilt!
Anyway, so thursday my knee was still killing me, so i set out on my hybrid and did some easy half hours cruising around the city...its nice to have gears again, i must admit!
Friday I attempted to write some more thesis which was not as productive as it could have been..Went to the pool around lunch time and did 2k in 500m sets, this took me with breaks 45mins so i am guessing around 10mins a set, although the first was more like 15...so i am possibly getting closer to the 8mins i used to do...I went out riding with Sar and Ben for about an hour around the coast, and cruised reasonably slowly on dark. Probably about an hour and probably 15-20k
Saturday i got up early (well 6:30) and went for a ride with Lauren. We cruised fairly easily until i hit the uphil stretch near newcastle beach and had me some serious concerns about what was happening with hilarys gears and getting my tooshie up the hill...the chain didnt fall off though which was a bonus....Lauren went home about 35 mins in due to the massive wind that was everywhere, and i kept riding around for 1.5hours to clear my head a little bit. Sat arvo, I took coopy to the park and played some soccer and ran around, and then laughed when someones legs were very tender the next morning.....went out for some more socialising on sat night, and dancing was done, dancing is exercise right?
Sunday had a bit of a shocker all around and didnt feel like doing anything, but went for a bit of a ride in the arvo, again more as a head clearing exercise than anything else...
Monday night after work I decided that i would try out the running leg and went along the foreshore, did the first 2k in 8.5mins and then did a very slow run back cause the leg was hurting and i was feeling it a bit....i forgot to check how long it took though....
Today i am planning a swim and a ride before my 2hour run tommorrow....
I am feelign really average today, and continue to have a headache which has been around for at least 3 weeks now....i am guessing i need to get my body to the chiro....god i whinge alot dont i?
