Wednesday 29 March - a Saint and Satan...

Had to leave home at 6.20am this morning in order to make it to Concord to see Saint Andrew at 8.15am - but he's worth it. He's a saint after all ;-) Had some x-rays taken which should make very interesting viewing when I head back to see him on Monday morning...

Activity: weights with Satan
Time: 6.30pm
Duration: 30mins

Another really tough upper body circuit with Satan. I felt weak but the reps and weights didn't reflect that:
* assisted chin ups
* prone hold with toes on a swiss ball;
* reverse flyes;
* single arm shoulder press while standing on one foot;
* crunches,
repeated 3 times.

Very excited about the CR cheersquads road trip to Port Macquarie for the Ironman this weekend :-)

Wednesday 30 March - yes, you guessed it: another RUN!

WOOHOO

Activity: run
Time: 5.30am
Duration: 25mins + 20mins walk warm-up & cool down

Up at 5.30am for yet another run. The plan was to do 5 x 5mins runs with a 1min walk recovery but I felt so good that it ended up being 2 x 12min 30sec run with a 1mins walk recovery (+ calf stretching time in the middle). Don't worry - I'm not pushing it. It was a slow pace and I felt GOOD :-) (Edit: approx. 4kms)

I was a bit worried about my right shin yesterday - it had one rather tender spot - but after icing last night and this morning, it's feeling fine today :-)

Did I mention that I'm one rather happy gal? :-)
