Hiya all,
City 2 Surf... such a fun event. The sun was shining and it was such a beautiful day to be out and enjoying. Courts did really well and was happy to go off and run her own race. Gem as sticking with her Mum. She ran the whole 5km... very proud.. She is not keen on just running so I have decided not keep pushing her. She loves the swimming and is still enjoying the bike riding. She will still have to do some running for her Trystar training.
I used the 5km City 2 surf as training really because I had to run at Gemma's slow pace.. but I still enjoyed the day. It did help stretch out the legs from Saturdays 56km ride and get the butt moving which quite frankly is still not quite recovered.
I did however drop into the bike shop and pick up a new seat for Stella, one recommended by the ladies at the bikeshop as a seat with alot more give. That and the knicks (padded pants) seems to have done the trick.. now just to get out and toughen up my butt.
Swim training at the pool 6am yesterday morning and boy what a fantastic session. I put myself into the medium lane, after two laps the coach asks me to move to the fast lane. (First time in my life I have ever been asked to move to a faster lane) So off I go doing the drills. Coach tells me that I am lifting my head, try tucking my chin down and that will stop the sinking butt. At this point I have nothing to lose. I give it a go and guess what NO MORE SINKING BUTT... WWWWOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOO!
In the afternoon, the girls had swim squad and then off to a bike riding and road sense lesson for the girls and I.. Girls did really well and I just kicked along on Stella, enjoying the ride.
This morning Stella and I hit the road with a new group of really nice ladies. One of whom has done 6 Ironman events (crazy chick) and we managed to cover almost 30kms this morning without even thinking about... I was too busy chatting to worry about anything else... and I kept up easily. Maybe I am getting better at this caper than I thought.
Poor Aaron doesn't get to see me any more... When I am not waving goodbye off to either training or some event... I am harrassing him 'Is dinner ready yet? I'm starved!' or I am falling asleep on the lounge and he is having to put me to bed. Usually around the same time as the kids. Heehehehe... I have no idea how I will cope when he goes back to work!
Runners club tonight for my long run and swimming again in the morning. Will let you know how I go.
Happy exercising xxxxxxx
