TR vs the future
-
Run today, started off with a bit of cloud but after about 10 mins of running they departed and the sun shone!<br />
<br />
Actual distance is 10.2km.<br />
<br />
Running with my 3 friends we made the mistake of starting in the middle of the pack, meaning by the time we ran to the end of MIlford Beach at a pretty slow pace we were still with the pack and then when traversing the rocks, it got to walking pace.<br />
<br />
At about 4km at a drink station me and one of my friends waited about 40sec for the other 2 to catch, but we got seperated on the next lot of rocks so decided it wasnt worth messing about.<br />
<br />
The last km is flat road running, and I felt damn good as I picked up the pace to keep up with a couple of Harbour players in front of me; 1 hour 5 mins, which wasnt too bad, but I certainly think I coulda hit it in well under and hour, we are thinking of doing at least the 22km one next year.<br />
<br />
I did pick up a massive blister on the instep of my left foot after about 5km soon after I had jumped down into knee deep water to get past a bunch of people (blister fromt he wet socks/shoes, not the jump)<br />
<br />
I think I need to set myself a time target for my 9km run in 2 weeks...<br />
<br />
official time had me as 1.05.17, but my watch said 1.04.40...as they started slightly late I think the official timing started a wee bit early, as I know I didnt actually stop my watch until about 15-20sec after I finished. -

mate just sent me the data his GPS watch gave him, and our last km was over 20sec quicker than any other in the run (and I managed to finish about 40sec ahead of him and all of that was the last 2km) -
went for a 5.5km run with TR Jnr last night, on a different route (no hills) 27mins.<br />
<br />
In better news, 90.6kg this morning!! -

You'll have to move round in the shower just to get wet !<br />
<br />
Well done dude. -
haha, not quite sure where that came from though, been hovering around 91.5-91.8 recently, so will see if it is one off or I am moving as it is a big drop.<br />
<br />
As for my run this weekend, I have decided I need to finish inside 54 mins for 9kms, although I think <50mins is achievable if I get into the right rhythm and dont need a pit-stop halfway through! -
warm up on the punch bag<br />
<br />
100 squats @70kg<br />
100 hammer/tyre each side<br />
85 45 deg pull ups (weak arse forearms)<br />
20 plank (arm/body rotated and stretched to vertical, probably has a name) 20 plank hand to wall = 3 sets -

Had my 9km run this morning (actually 9.05km) and pretty stoked to have done it in 45.19 (bloody Far North Hayden finished about a minute ahead of me) although the 3 to go and 2 to go run markers seemed so far apart, as I was at 6km I was 30.30 and then hit the 7 km at 37mins I couldnt believe it took me that long when I was running the same pace (or so I thought)<br />
<br />
Certainly tougher than last weeks longer run where you are forced to walk in parts giving you plenty of recovery time.<br />
<br />
So I did about 5.02 +/- per km, so very happy about that, as this was my pace pretty much each of the 9km, as we did the first 4 at that pace as my mate commented it was a bit quicker than he usually did. Each km will have been at least 20sec quicker than my best one last week -
Well done! That's a good result. Sounds like they cocked up the markers at the wrong end of the race-when people are getting tired.<br />
<br />
I hope to see some more of your hill runs while the weather is still perfect. Ha, since you're in Northland, the weather is probably perfect all year! -

declared a drought here last week!!<br />
<br />
But yeah will get back to my routine this week, although I did spy a pretty mean looking set of steps off the track I ran along today...<br />
<br />
Was nice to do a pretty flat run for once too, to get a guage of my time, and always easier when you have someone in front/behind to chase/stay in front of as well, whereas by yourself it is easy to slip into a comfortable pace that probably isnt quite as much as it should be.<br />
<br />
The guy I ran about half of it with is doing 100km Oxfam walk round Taupo, and he has found some great step spots about for me, although a bit further away than my usual -
here?<br />

We had a light shower today (for 10 seconds) but I have cracks in my lawn big enough for rats to fall down <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> -

Well done.<br />

I do think it is in part stress (given I have probably done less exercise the past 2 weeks) we have been thinking about selling our place, buying a section and building...fark it sucks just thinking about that sh!t!<br />
<br />
You cant be too far off! -
Struggling to find time to exercise at the moment...<img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> <br />
<br />
Went for a run on Wednesday but that was it this week.<br />
<br />
Spent all day moving shit and cleaning the section (more of same tomorrow) readying it for the influx of potential buyers over the next few weeks, just hope themfuckers next door don't scare any off with their bass music playing! -
Crank out that burpee workout yo!! or walking shoulder press with the boxes as you load the car/truck!<br />
<br />
You've been working hard so you should get by with the odd run or weights session. Clearing the section will be keeping you busy. Exercise will be good for dealing to stress over negotiations etc - plus you will look buff'er when you need to menace the neighbours!
