Full intentions of going running yesterday, but scary gusty wind (for up here, probably a gentle breeze for Wellingtonians) which in turn made the rain come stinging in sideways, and low visibility meant I decided not to!<br />
<br />
So went and dragged some more logs out of the forest ready for the chainsaw for about an hour. -
Ran at about 75%+/- speed down and out the drive and ~100m up the hill and back, 2.16mins return for warm up<br />

-
bit quiet on the update front;<br />
<br />
few workouts, and a couple of runs since last update, plus alot of twisting a post hole borer into the ground to plant trees/plants and shovelling tree peelings around a 300m sq part of our section for hours, and hours and hours....<br />
<br />
Still active, just less active with the updates! -
only single workout last week, but went for a 7km run on Saturday, sheesh, middle section (was a run out to a point and back) of this run was TOUGH!<br />

good workout on Tuesday, deadlifts, front squats, under-hand pull ups, skull crushers, BB roll outs (all about control and hold at extension)<br />
<br />
Still sore yesterday but did a light fast workout of air-squats, press ups, supermans, mountain climbers and planks<br />
<br />
Have put a few KG's back on since moving, which is disappointing, but am signing up for a half marathon in September which will motivate me...will be interesting as 12km is the furtherest I have ever run before! -
the Whangarei one, which is pretty much flat (a decent chunk over the same route I did on the 9km one earlier this year)
-
8.5km run on Sunday (pretty much all uphill going out, and obviously downhill coming back)<br />
<br />
Fully intended on doing a workout on Sunday, but after chopping firewood for a bit over an hour, I decided not to, on Monday had a pretty good walk up Mt. Manaia.<br />

<p>But the whole family been down with a bug this week and I had a dose of something meaning I was off work sick for the first time in >5 years!</p> -
<p>being sick suuucks!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After a week or so of doing nothing, I tried to do a workout on Saturday, struggled big-time, and despite itching to do soemthing, am not feeling right today still!</p> -
<p>I know what you mean bro - I had a 3-4 week run of flu and colds. My advice is to take a week off, not ideal but better than getting crook again. <span style="font-size:14px;">Hope you bounce back quick mate.</span><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p>
