Sun comes up, sun goes down. JK gets a fuck ton of moving and lifting done.
Epic!

Almost a month between updates as had 3 weeks in UK, France and Singapore with the family. Didnt do any real exercise other than walk a shitload.
Back in to it mid last week
Weds (AM) - road run - 7.6km @4.34mins/km - great to get the legs moving at pace again
Thurs - gym session in the AM - upper body
Saturday (AM) - mixed road/trail run - 14.5km @4.56mins/km - slower run on a beaut morning with aim of keeping it around 5min/km so happy with that.
Sunday (PM) - 4km walk with the wife -
Back on the regular, well almost.
Monday - (PM) gym and full body type session
Tues - (AM) road run - 10.4km @ 4.43mins/km. Was mainly a jog with a couple of working kms thrown in at a better pace
Weds - (AM) 4km jog but tooo cold and tide was too high so cut it short
Thursday - (AM) gym - full body session again
Saturday - short trail run 6km @ 5.20mins/km. 180m elevation. Nice to get back in the bush. -
Good week
Monday - (AM) easy 7km run @5.00/km (zone 2) of mixed terrain (road, trail, beach)
Tues - (AM) Gym
Weds - (PM) more slow stuff - 11km round Devo @ 5.10/km- again mixed terrain but not a lot of elevation (136m)
Thursday - (AM) Gym
Friday - (PM) 18 holes of golf (counts as a walk right?)
Saturday - (PM) trail blast up at long bay -combination of grass, singletrack dirty, gravel and a wee bit of sealed road. Beaut day to be out and about 10.6km @ 4.41/km. 220m elevation so grade adjusted pace lower at 4.24/km. Really enjoyed it -
Another cracking week. Easier runs but distance up a bit more to 30km now.
Monday - (AM) zone 2 waterfront jog with a mate from work 7.3km run @4.52/km. Didnt stretch well and calves were super tight, and the shins were a bit tender for the next day or so.
Tues - (AM) Gym
Weds - (PM) even slower than monday's effort - 7.1km @5.09/km also waterfront but in the other direction
Thursday - (AM) Gym
Friday - nothing
Saturday - (PM) wet day and was keen to ride in the forest but didn't want to spend hours cleaning the bike so trail run! Kinda just cruised around and went where the feet wanted to go, which was mainly up/down shitty trails that I don't bother riding, as well as some that I do that I knew wouldn't be too bad. 16km at 5.22/km and 380m elevation (GAP was 5mins flat). Felt good. And still felt good this morning. Can see myself in there a fair bit more without the bike.Week ahead will be less running distance but perhaps a bit of speed work. And golf....need some golf.

Week gone...an easy week
Monday - (AM) zone 2 waterfront jog 6.6km @5.09min/km. Boring as.

Well heres a change.... no more gym! Well not as I have for the past 5 years. Mates closed up his gym so unless I go join somewhere, I am off the weights for a bit. Not a major as havent been enjoying that much lately but would like it as part of an overall balanced fitness regime. Might just be running, riding and pilates for a while....let's see.
Anyway...
Monday - (AM) local jog close to home 8.5km @5.06min/km. Mix of pavement, trails and beach.
Tues - (AM) Gym
Weds - (AM) waterfront CBD run 7.3km @4.41min/km. Super windy but got it done.
Thursday - (AM) Gym
Friday - nothing
Saturday - (PM) Trail run out in the forest. Aim for a couple of hours and ended up running 20k so added a wee bit more to complete a half. 21.1km @5.24min/km and 514m elevation. Grade adjusted pace was sub 5min so that was pleasing. Was 50/50 mix of pine/gravel forest roads and pine/mud trail. Pretty dam slippery in parts - great fun.
Sunday - nothing. Spent 10mins on the foam roller but legs felt pretty good after saturdays effort -
Shite first week without gym! Got sick at back end of the week and noticed it on thursday morning when I wanted to put down some decent pace and there was pretty much nothing there. Will be a quiet week ahead before easing back in to it when I feel right.
Monday (AM) - easy jog 6km@5.13min/km, (PM) Pilates - gee I felt that for a few days
Tuesday (AM) - another easy job 7.3km @5.00

Sunday - had planned a longer trail run but cut my toe somehow in a weird spot and needs some time to heel) -
Pretty much a running week. Not much else. A good focus on slowing down though
Tuesday - 7.6km CBD(foggy&dark) run @5.02min/km
Thurs - Another 7km of fog @ 4.45min/km
Friday - 6km @ 5.49min/km - a garmin suggested workout and perhaps the most boring run of my life
Saturday - 14.6km of local trails. Much more fun. Muddy, wet and just cruising about through the local parks and trails 288m elevation @5.54min/km. All while listening to the AB's vs Fiji. Not bad.Oh I forgot I trialled a new gym on Monday. Had a week pass but I realised within about 5mins that it was shite so plodded my way through a 30min workout then told the staff member that their gym wasnt for me. Havent had a follow up call or email come to think of it, so I must have been fairly convincing.

Finally getting some desire to get some weights back in my life. Summer is coming and this running is making me too skinny, despite all the crap food I eat. Haven't weighed myself for about 2 months. Kinda scared to actually!
The week gone

Tuesday - AM 7km CBD @ 5.09min/km. Wasn't a good run. Made a late decision to do some intervals (10 x 30seconds on / 90 seconds recovery) but really wasnt feeling it. Ended up doing 8 of them but all pretty slow and took an easy jog home in the wind/rain.
Weds - day off

Sun - out for a run in riverhead forest. 13,3km @ 5.41 and 322m of elevation. Some super slippery trails after all the rain. Good fun
