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!!
23 hours ago This was my longest outdoor run I've done for a while. I felt a lot better both aerobically and physically than my short run last week. I was conscious of the need to slow down at times. As a result of my 5km run two Saturdays ago, my pace zones have gotten a little slower. Certain training sessions need to be slow in order to get fast When I got to Henley Lake the sun was very low creating good photo opportunities. . . . #wintertraining #wintersun #sundown #twilight #run #runner #running #runtraining #training #trainingsession #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit
4 days ago Well today is the slowest of my 14 Greytown Park Runs. I nearly didn't make it to the start line. My bed was so cosy. However I'm glad I did make it. My glutes were sore after some walking lunges with a couple of 5kg plates I did yesterday. My bathroom scales showed I have an extra kg or two on top of an already extra kg or two. Because I left it so late to leave, I did not allow enough time for a warm up. It was 2C so a warm up would have helped. I know I
1 week ago An active rest day today for me, so I got a variety of movements done along with some stretches. Everything is a work in progress. I find it good to video what I'm doing occasionally because often what I think I'm doing and what I am actually doing are not quite the same. My back is not flat when it's meant to be, my leg in the hip CARs has dropped, I'm restricted in the ITB stretch. As for stretching my quads by leaning back. I'm not leaning back far but it is further than I used be able to

6 days ago Today's run concludes Week 1 of the Faster 5km in 12 Weeks Training Plan I am following. I headed under the foot swing bridge to Henley Lake. My legs felt a bit heavy today, however I am happy with the pace. . . . #swingbridge #footbridge #bridge #5km #training #trainingsession #run #runner #running #runtraining #trainingsession #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #coachray #coachraynz #qwikkiwi #qwikkiwicoaching #consistency #consistencyisthekey #fitover50 #fitover60women #maturerunner #womenrunners #sneakyshadow

1 week ago In action at the inaugural Flaxmere Park Run yesterday. Not sure who took the photo. It was posted on the Flaxmere Park Run FB page. Thank you! My legs feel quite good at the moment. I have scheduled today as a rest day. Later I have a long drive home. I suspect my legs will seize up being in a seated position. So once home I'll do some mobility movements to unstiffen them. . . . #parkrun #backintoit #run #runner #running #runtraining #training #trainingsession #athlete #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #coachray #coachraynz #qwikkiwi #qwikkiwicoaching #consistency #consistencyisthekey #fitover50 #fitover60women #maturerunner
2 weeks ago I run for breakfast There was a great turnout for the first Flaxmere Park Run. I came in 63rd which is my age Don't ask me how I managed to coincide that! The atmosphere was festive and the 3 lap course was nice to run on. I will travel back & do it again. This was my first fast run for a number of weeks including the 3 weeks on holiday. Today is the first day of a new training plan - Faster 5km 12 Week Challenge. It is similar to the training my coach has previously scheduled, however the
