good Short and sweat! 3.2 km 00:22 10:50 pace
Dropped car off at panel beater, hard run home from the bottom of the Wairau Valley to the highest point in Glenfield. Archers Road gets very steep, pushed all the way up.

I think my PT refers to this kind of thing as "snackersize" - nice job on squeezing it in! I know Archers Rd is steep!

For the single leg squats you could put the toes of your "non working" foot on the floor behind you, just for balance

OK. I was trying to do them with the leg straight out in front as per a book I have. Maybe that's level 2!

Those are called pistol squats and are extremely difficult. With those you HAVE TO go butt below knee and kind of bounce out of it at the bottom.

great To Wairau return 6.5 km 00:38 09:19 pace
Can't believe it's been a week since my last run, but felt great, very pleased with pace for a cruisey run. Was meant to be a 40min run but I must have gone too fast!
-
Nice! That is a respectable pace Graham! I really should go for a run!

In that car, I'm not surprised you were fast :) But seriously, nice pickup in pace Graham. It would be great to see you doing Auckland again.

good Hall Road 4.76 km 00:30 10:10 pace
Lovely morning, bit chilly, definitely a gloves morning! Scary to think my 1/2m pace was faster than this last year! Still, it's coming back.

Yes, but the cold would have slowed you down too. No doubt you'll get back to it.

good Basic core at home 00:20
Usual stuff plus added chin ups: 2 sets of 2, + 2 half way up - wow! Doesn't seem that long ago I could do 3x9, never quite made the 3x10. But I guess it must be 5 or more years ago now. Goal ... read more

Woodcote Dr easy 2.28 km 00:16 11:07 pace
Just easing back in. 5 months with almost no running is probably too long!! Establishing the routine again is harder than the running!

Good to see you back Graham! I dont know of anyone having to pull out of the Auckland half marathon yet, I'll let you know if I hear of one going spare. I persuaded a friend to join me for the auckland half so we now run together on a Saturday, good motivation for our longer runs. I'm doing the Hobsonville 10km on the 26th and want to get under 1hr, its a flatish route too as I remember.

Great to be running again. Very gentle start. Really focussing on strengthening and conditioning before pushing. Next race is the NS 1/2 M on 1st September, 108 days according the website.

Using my Runstar phone app to map a Go Kart track for Speedshow! Need it to show in satellite view though like it does on the phone. Should probably use a different GPS app.
