This week I had 2 events on, one was Waikato athletics where I completed in the 3,000m event and the other was my school triathlon. At Waikato athletics I had a early race so the weather was good while I ran, I went into this race knowing there was some strong competition who train in this type of event and distance.

This week my time management skills have really been tested, I had a lot of extra activities this week making it difficult to fit in all my trainings planned, I managed to complete all my trainings during the week but did have to make some adjustments to fit it in with my schedule.

This week I had my schools athletics sports, although I’m not a short distance runner I surprised myself with how I did and the times I ran, my interval and shorter faster training’s definitely have helped me improve in these distances (100m, 200m, 400m, 800m & 1500m) and how I feel when running them.

Update on the kittens that I found last week. They are very happy with full belly’s, they are already getting bigger and more playful which is a good sign.
This week in my training it was my first week back into full swing with no interruptions other than the kittens pushing back my Sunday training to Monday.
