Things are finally settling down at work and I should be able to get into some sort of routine soon. New bloke starts tomorrow which should help us out.
Apart from an 18 min jog (wow!) with Laura on Monday I didn't do any training until Saturday. Slacker!!! What I did do though was buy another bike trainer so that me and Adam can both 'train' together. I'm looking forward to that. We did half hour on Saturday which was great.
I also ran on Saturday. I have it in my head that I am going to run/walk for the whole 20hrs of next year's Relay for Life. I have the target of 100K in my head as well. That's only 5K an hour. How hard can that be? (joke!).
So to that end I worked with some run/walk strategies on Saturday at our local track. Two laps of 440m (runners at the Relay use Lane 8) running at a very conservative pace and then a lap walking gives me about 8K/hr so with the inevitable slow down and predictable calf 'pull' at about midnight it should make it possible to get 100k in within the 20 hours.
No word of this to Jo, right???!!! At this stage I'm just blogging my thoughts out loud. I'll probably be injured and not take part but we'll see.
Sunday was back on the windtrainer for an hour. Not exactly the three hour ride I planned but at least I did something. Total training for the week was not much over 3 hours. I hope to be able to blog about an 8hr training week next week. I gotta get some consistency back!

It'd be like being a hamster on a wheel. You'd have to run with someone to talk to or at least an ipod with a lot of podcasts. Totally mad ;)
I thought you were working towards Ironman? You are def mad! But, a blokes got to have a goal right?
Mad! Our friend Viv (who ran Rotorua our year) decided awhile ago that she'd never get much faster so she should just go longer. She's done the 12 and 24 hour track champs, and is now in the national team!
