Activity: bike
Distance: 13km
Time: 40min
Hmm, err, will I, won't I? I think I changed my mind 3 or 4 times about biking this morning. Eventually, obviously, I chose to bike & got to ride through a dull, drizzly morning. I know it will get lighter again with daylight savings ends, but I shelled out for new lights on my way home, as I managed to run my previous ones through the washing machine & they don't work anymore (surprise!).

In a zone
Activity: swim
Distance: 1100m
Time: 30min
I'm working on getting my non-stop distance up, so after a few warm up laps I zoned out & did 400m in one go. It's a pity I only get to QE2 once a week - the 50m pool is so nice to swim in, compared with with the cramped little 25m pool at Pioneer or Centennial. I like their new lane organisation too - 2 each of aqua jog, friendly, slow, medium & fast takes up all 10 of the lanes and prevents the confusion that was the unlabelled lanes.
Getting close to the official start of the 8 week training period - focus is on running this week, with cycling just keeping up the Bike Wise K's.

Double entry
Laziness strikes again, I've been biking & gymming & swimming, but with logging the cycling on Bike Wise & keeping up with the activity, logging it all here has fallen by the wayside. I've managed over 100km for the Challenge, plus 1km stints in the pool. The trainer at the gym put me through the paces to give me a new programme, and I was feeling unfamiliar muscles for 2 days afterwards.
I was hoping to put in a long ride today, but the southerly's picked up so I'll probably exchange it for something else.

Pain, discomfort - all worth it?
Tuesday
Activity: cycle
Distance: 14km
Time: 40min
Wednesday
Activity: cycle
Distance: 14km
Time: 40min
+ lunchtime walk
I know from experience that the pain subsides, but that doesn't make it any easier. I'm currently flying the Bike Wise flag solo in the department, but I think I'll have to take Friday off to do some errands. Oh well, there's always the weekend?

Bikewise!
Activity: cycle
Distance: 18km
Time: 55min
Activity: climb
Time: 1 hour
The Bike Wise Challenge started today, so I've biked to work and to climbing. For some reason the long straight ride down Whiteleigh Ave/Barrington St isn't as bad as going down Hoon Hay Rd, so I'm actually quite enjoying the ride to and from work.
Climbing wasn't so good - enjoyable, but I can notice the backwards slide over the Xmas break. Only one thing for it: keep going!

Needs must
Sunday
Activity: run
Distance: 2.6km
Time: 21min
Tuesday
Activity: cycle
Distance: 13.3km
Time: 40min
Running from the new flat is quite pleasant, through the trees along Deans Ave in Hagley Park. But it's a lot busier than my old routes, so I may end up with a few more running buddies (unofficial) than before! The bike ride's a lot shorter, and doesn't involve the demoralising NW slog up Hoon Hay Rd, though I might have to be a bit quicker about getting past the railway lines - I almost got taken out by the barrier arms for the 5pm train today. Again, it's busier, also involves dodging more car doors :(

New Year's what?
Monday
Activity: gym
Mucho soreness. Must go again
Wednesday
Activity: cycling
Distance: 18km
Time: 51min
Here's hoping I don't get the headwinds on my new commute from next week. I really need to be stepping things up, as February is the Bikewise Battle/Challenge/whatever they're calling it now, and March is the triathlon. Eek. Time to remind T, I think!
