Spring is in the Air!!!!

What a wonderful start to the week weather wise, however not a great one for me personally.My neck has been out so i've been suffering with some horrible headaches. I am certainly keeping the nurofen and panadol companies in business, but i am determined not to miss a session due to this !!! I was planning on not putting any of this in as I really don't want to be seen as complaining but after some thought I realised that if this is to be a true record not just in stats, I needed to stay true to myself and be honest.
So seeing as I'm a little late in getting the blog up  I'll try and keep it short and sweet.

Monday was a double day run 11kms in the morning then 10kms in the afternoon. I pulled up sore in the right calf so in the evening I then went to my friend Julz's studio for my first Pilates session which I really enjoyed and it was nice to stretch out that calf!!

Tues morning Fiona Will and I headed off for 50km ride with 6 short out of the saddle hill repeats.  You wake up pretty quick in the morning doing these. I just couldn't do the last one out of the saddle with my calf but managed the first 5. I don't think Fiona had done hill repeats on a bike before but you wouldn't know she did really well !!! In the evening it was off to the track for intervals. Brad was night shift so I was the "go to" person for the night. I obviously don't have the same drawing power that my brother has as numbers were a little light on tonight.

Wednesday 2.5 k's in the pool, 45 minute core session then a 1hr 22 session on the windtrainer.

Thursday morning Lisa Fiona and I hit the road again at 4 30am for a 40km Challenge Ride . Lisa was riding really well and I was struggling to keep up with her. So my challenge for the morning was to not let her get too far in front of me.... Unbeknown to me Lisa had set her self the challenge of not sitting on my wheel. So there we were literally chasing each other for 40kms ... good ride!!!
Friday morning was a no go for swimming , my neck and headaches had been bad all night so instead I went off to see the wonderful Jazz for a remedial massage to see if she could help relieve some tension in my neck and calf. Some temporary relief but still not great . She has recommended I see a physio or chiro which I will have to organise for next week.
Saturday morning and it was back to Deep Water Point where we started our brick session of 80k ride 8k run. I had to pop nurofen at the start and panadol at the turn around point but i made it thru. My calf was feeling much better after Jazz's massage yesterday but unfortunately the headaches were still lingering on !!! In the afternoon i went to the pool but left getting there a bit late and only managed 2.3k . My brother from Geraldton was on his way down with my niece Lil for a concert and we were hoping to meet for a quick bite to eat which we managed to do. Sadly it was only for an hour but better than nothing as I don't see those guys as much as I would like to . Will and our son Jordan were off to see the footy.... Go the Eagles!!!! Grand Final here we come... Yeah
Sunday and its Fathers Day!!! A sleep in, another short core session , salad and dessert making then off to the inlaws for dinner. 

Can't wait to see this tree in full bloom!!!
