Started the day with a walk around Holder and Duffy… I think I saw the first Kookaburra since I’ve been in Canberra!
Finished the day with a run around the bridges with Rish. 5k, and back under 30mins (29:49)! Even with the wind. eeps.
Went for some sprints this morning on the oval near work. Does it not surprise you by looking at the picture above at how dead the grass is, that the ground was hard as rock, and we moved to the soft soft bitumen of the road instead?
I do believe my arms are slightly pinker than usual, and my spots (freckly spots!) are coming out, so summer must be here!
Look at the freckles! (ignore the look on my face, and the shiny head. But the freckles! No idea how freckly I’ll be by the time summer is actually here!)
Summer means wearing summer [...]
So, in Canberra, in order to give us Melbourne cup day off, they concocted some sort of family day where we’re either meant to be getting drunk at the races or sitting in the park with babies.
I nearly got all community on you – I bought a Lion’s Club sasage sizzle in Glebe park… then [...]
After us all going on about how great the weather was over the weekend, and how great the sunshine made us feel (I even got a bit pink on Saturday sitting out in the sunshine!), the rain came last night. Oh well. At least we got a run in yesterday – about 6km from ANU [...]
Body starting to not feel as sore after Sunday’s run and gym sessions with Rish.
Started with the 5k loop. 33:33, not a great time, but that included a part of it being walked ahead of a “pitstop” about 3/4 through. Nice and fast at the end though, coming down off the Commonwealth Ave bridge. Inhaled [...]
After a bit of a whinge that I thought it was too dark and windy to run this morning, I did my best time ever. Again, proving that I shouldn’t be listened to when I’m whinging.
29:52 around the 5km loop on Lake Burley Griffin from “The world” (some globe landmark which I don’t actually [...]
Left home when the stars were still out at 6am, to go for a jog with Rish… aim was to show that, despite not doing this exact run for over a month, I’d still be able to match or beat my previous time of 31:19.
I did it – 31:59 (or 31:58:57 I think? hehe)
Not sure [...]
Just did this morning’s 5km loop in 31:19!
I’m impressed because I didn’t have Rish pushing me along (plus it was 2 minutes better than last time). I did, however, however, have his mp3 Walkman with motivating music… my poor ipod didn’t want to wake up this morning :(
I’m going to have to start hunting [...]
Went up for sprints up on the oval next to work with Rish this morning – almost killed myself with the jog up the hill to get there! I could have almost done that a few times instead (and perhaps I should start doing that – go for a jog up the hill to work [...]
