Climb every mountain...

The title is only partially a reference to my passion. It's also a reference to the Sound of Music soundtrack which I have been listening to my family sing (loudly) in the car this morning. Yikes....

Anyhoo, t'was a recovery week :-)

Mon: rest. Was due to go to swim squad but woke with a badly pinched nerve/muscle in my neck. Very little movement in my neck all day & a tad painful :-(

Tue: back to the treadmill at lunch for another 15min run just to prove the first one on Saturday wasn't a fluke. Not only was it not a fluke, I managed to go a tad faster :-)

Wed: another solid strength + core session before work.

Thur: back to the gym for 15mins bike (spin) + 10mins run. T'was supposed to be another 'reverse' brick but the treadmills in the gym were occupied when I arrived which meant that I had to switch this session around. Yesterday's strength session left me with serious DOMS in my butt & adductors so I was very glad that it was an easy session.

Fri: due to my plans for the weekend, I had decided to swap my sessions around so headed to the gym at work at lunch for a swim. Unfortunately it was closed for maintenance. Grrr.

Sat: 90min ride along the Northern Road from Penrith in the direction of Camden (34.88km - av. 23.2k/h). My mechanic decided to stay home so thankfully I didn't have another flat ;-) A really enjoyable ride on a rather warm morning.

Sun: rest & recovery from my uncle's 50th birthday party in the Hunter Valley last night :-)

In other news, I have signed up to do my Certificate III & IV in Fitness :-) It has been something I have wanted to do for many years & its taken a few months of planning to come to fruition. I have a lot going on in life at the moment (2 x jobs + training + planning the wedding) so I am not going to put pressure on myself to finish it quickly; I anticipate that I won't finish it until about March next year but its a start :-)

MTD:
Swim: 5.1km
Run: 89.5mins :-)
Ride: 6hr 25mins
