Post GOW update

I'm feeling good this week, despite some residual tenderness in my unstable right ankle from the Great Ocean Walk. If I stand on it for too long, it aches and is tender if I poke around in there. I'm sure it will come good by Christmas. I'll focus on low impact workouts (ie no running) until it sorts itself out.

I did my first cardio cycle class in a very VERY long time. My two options during the class were pass out of faint! I think I'd better pace myself better next time. My whole body sweated, including my shins! And my face was bright pink for about an hour afterwards. Great workout, that's for sure. It wasn't tough on my legs, but it was brutal on my lungs.

The week that was:

Sunday - 2km swim (40 x 50m laps) / 1 hour
Monday - 12km cycling / 40 mins
Tuesday - Cardio Cycling class / 30 mins
Wednesday - 12km cycling / 40 mins and weights program
Thursday - 12km cycling / 40 mins and 45 minute hatha yoga class
Friday - 12 km cycling / 40 mins and 30 minute cardio boxing class (my arms are still sore)

A quiet weekend. Saturday was a recovery day and today... well, that's counted for next week anyway and it's been a busy, but non-exercise day (other than a 20 minutes walk with the dogs this morning).

It's Coast to Kosci on Friday, so there'll be a few missed gym sessions this week and next. My ankle may not be right to do the last 18km with Kev, but he has a 'real' runner to do it with him anyway, so no problem there. Can't wait!!!
