Lisa’s Journey, Week 40: My 40th (Week), Feels Like I Should Have Cake & A Party…
40 weeks, 280 days, approximately nine months since starting this blog and journey. I can’t say this blog gets any easier to write, but the journey does somewhat. My only hope is someone reads it and if they haven’t started their journey that they do. You… do!!
2 weeks ago I did a short run around Henley Lake just after 5pm tonight. It helped loosen up my legs, increase my step count, record my first run for this week and I was craving some fresh air. It did the trick and I enjoyed seeing the colours from the sunset. . . . #henleylake #wairarapa #runner #running #run #runtraining #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #qwikkiwi #sunset #lake #lateafternooncolours

3 weeks ago Post the Greytown Park Run (walk or mixture). Severe procrastination nearly robbed me the chance to do today's park run. At 6am I hit the 10 minute snooze button. At 6.10am I hit the 10 minute snooze button. At 6.20am I again hit the 10 minute snooze button. At 6.30am I turned the alarm off. At 6.50am without leaving my bed, I once again checked the weather app. Then around 6.55am my feet touched the floor. It didn't look too bad outside. I jumped into the running gear I had sorted last night, grabbed a wind shield cycling vest to
2 weeks ago So I managed to get a little further today and not have to practice remounting for the first time. Now just need to keep practicing to improve. #smallgains #surfski #qwikkiwicoaching #qwikkiwi @kayakhq @coach_ray_nz @thinkkayak .global
4 days ago This morning I achieved my longest run since doing the Great Wall of China half marathon back in May. I felt good. This view is taken from the "high point" of one of the trails in the Henley Lake environs. . . . #qwikkiwi #consistency #consistencyisthekey #fitover60women #maturerunner #womenrunners #tararuaranges #tararuas #run #runner #running #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #snowcapped
6 days ago I now have 28 park runs under my belt. There was a strong tail wind all the way out which meant a lot of digging deep on the way back. I made the most of the tail wind to keep ahead of the runners not far behind. At the turnaround I had caught up to the next runner ahead of me. I tucked in behind him, however I felt I could go faster despite the wind force, so I did. I managed to put more time into those behind me once into that head wind. My change in my pace
2 weeks ago Don't shoot, don't shoot (except with a camera) Today I got to the park run in time to have a short warm up. Running is starting to feel less of a struggle and I was able to up my pace at various times to make gains on other runners. Today's 5km was my quickest in the last three months. I am so glad I did a short run last evening. My legs didn't feel sore today despite the aerobic/strength circuit I did yesterday morning. In fact my legs felt really good considering some of the load they've worked under this
2 weeks ago The joys of having short legs - I feel like the kid that has wooden blocks added to the pedals until they grow and don't need them anymore. Despite envisaging gains, I doubt they'll have anything to do with the length in my legs . . #shortarse #chickenlegs #benchpress #bench #muscles #muscle #workout #gym #gymtime #gymopenallhours #gymselfie #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #fitness #fitnessimprovement #qwikkiwi #mizuno #press #run #runner #running
