31:45 on what?

November 9, 2008 · 0 comments

Rish took me around the lake 5k loop this afternon, I did a bit of whinging, but not so much thratening on his life this time… a couple of I hate Yous but I just didn’t have the venom in me today.

Good time considering I haven’t been at the gym much the last 2 weeks… and drank more than a bottle of wine last night and have a cold (it’s a cold, nothing more !!!)

:) I had a massive stretch afterwards too. Nice.

So to keep things up again on the run to summer. Work hard, play hard, right?

Posture & Flex

November 5, 2008 · 0 comments

Since it’s a day for “getting back to things”… I got back to Posture and Flexibility class tonight. I took my first semester of it.. hmm probably over summer 2006/07, and here I am 08/09 ready for season two.

Intermediate level.

My poor calves! I have super stong (even commented on by the instructor today who was trying to hold my heel on the floor as I lifed it) but super inflexible calf muscles… which is a reason that this class is brilliant for me. Today’s class focussed on muscles innervated by the Sciatic Nerve.. so legs! So not easing back into this!!!

*grins* but i love it, love pushing like that … I just need to keep my knee straight!

Speed Machine

Speed demon

So, I acquired this bike from someone at Rish’s uni maybe a year ago now… and today was my first actual ride on it. The idea being, why walk a kilometre to work when I can ride a free bike that far?

Question was whether I actually could ride a bike that far…

The last time I rode a bike? A terrifying experience in the Hunter vineyards with Rish, where he thought I was going to kill us both…

Before that, it would have been on year ?10 camp. I don’t knwo which year, but there were bikes, and I rode one around a little mini BMX track.

So, I rode today. Up a hill, came back a better way, but still didn’t trust myself or the brake enough on one section.

Little by little. By Christmas Eve I’ll ride back with no fear.

And we're in

Okay, i’m in love with the new place. Love the back yard, love the living area, love the high ceilings.. :)

I have to now learn to negotiate a small (4) set of capeted stairs, which I slipped down earlier and I think I may have bruised my middle toe. Oh well. It’s like learning to navigate the new place in the dark, except it was light at the time, and the only difficulty was my lack of awareness of where my body is in space.

:)
