Oh, you trickster, you

Yeah, so it turns out Week 5 is one of those weeks that doesn't just repeat the same thing 3 times. Yesterday morning we alternated 5 minutes running with 3 minutes walking, then today we're running, and running, and running. Then a bit of walking, then the running, running, running. Both of us thinking our time perception is completely off, and suddenly there's the finishing chimes & the cool down walk. What?!? I checked - 8 minutes running, 3 walking, 8 running. Done.

Yeah, still can't get our heads around the fact that we've run a solid 8 minutes. Twice. Bring it on, we're capable.

Progress

Well, we've completed Week 4 of C25K. Biking's fallen by the wayside again (T got sick & I got lazy without her). O vowed last night that if she had to reschedule anymore of our runs, she'd owe me wine. Then she called this morning to reschedule our run. Sauvignon blanc, please!

Did I moan about the gym membership changes at work yet? Can't remember. We used to be able to pay for a 12 month membership via Payroll (they paid & then deducted it out of our next 3 pays). Not only is this not happening anymore, HR hasn't updated the website to tell us, so my gym membership's expired & I have to find $600 to pay for the next one. Which I want to do, because I like swimming & gymming with Mum, especially in winter. Ah well, another couple of weeks & I'll have the money.

Too much?

I suspect the 25km bike ride plus the run was a wee bit too much. But is there a more productive way to spend a public holiday? Including the 3 loads of laundry & finally clearing up the mess under the bed, I think Monday made up for the laziness of the rest of the weekend.

Feeling it

We've now completed week 2 of C25K, and I'm getting accustomed to the constant ache in my legs (between the cycling & running I'm doing some form of activity every day, even if it's just a 10min commute to work). Worst bit? Struggling to shave my legs in the shower. Because I threw out my black work pants & haven't hemmed my new ones, so I'm wearing skirts all the time & I'm noticing the spiky.

Plan for the long weekend: bike ride with T tomorrow, renew gym membership at some point, run on Monday. Maybe back to the gym with Mum on Sunday (or back by myself - dependent on renewal).
