Just keeps rolling along - happy days :-)

Monday
Rest

Tuesday
AM - 20mins walk + 7:30mins run. Man, it was hard work. Probably because I suspect I started a wee bit too fast. But gosh it's nice to be out & running before dawn again!
PM - massage at lunch. Then gym session + a (scenic) 1.4k swim including 10 x 100m efforts with variable rests. The swim was pretty ugly. I felt like the wheels were turning but I wasn't making any forward progress - in fact, I may have been going backwards. Though I didn't have much to eat in the afternoon which probably didn't help the case.

Wednesday
AM - interval session on Betty (6 x 2min hard/1min spin) before work. Talk about dead legs.

Thursday
AM - headed out for a (scenic) 20mins walk around beautiful Rooty Hill and - wait for it - 10mins run! My longest run in over 4 months now - woohoo! But geez, I'm unfit. I've certainly lost my running fitness - thankfully I know it will come back quickly :-D

I saw the physio at lunch today. He is really pleased with how things are progressing. I've got the ok to increase the distances and big plans to shake up the strengthening work (which I'm really excited about - I'm a weights junkie at heart) so I've joined FF & am meeting with a PT on Monday.

Friday
AM - 40mins tempo ride on Betty.
PM - gym session

Thanks to a few belated donations, I've now raised $1,470 for MS Australia as part of the Gong ride which has more than exceeded my 'lofty' goal. I don't suppose anyone wants to make a further contribution & push it over $1,500?? I'm persistent, I know ;-)

One week tomorrow until Brampton Island - woohoo !
