    Did another solo half this Saturday for training (as in just ran from home a random route by myself), 1h56m. Very comfortable pace and unfortunately had no water along the way so could feel my body taking strain regarding that from about 14km in. Had enough energy to go do a 60km ride straight afterwards. 5 weeks, 5 days left before my 1st half marathon race, I don't think I will make my desired time though Also, sneezing non stop this morning, with a sore throat starting and glassy eyes.... I was hoping to go do a short 5km this afternoon, but think getting to be will be a better idea.

    Dawie..... In my brokenness I could still laugh out loud about the "I have fond memories of when after would actually show helmet hair"

    I had brain freeze on my ride home yesterday! It is cold out there. I used my car today.... mainly because I needed to go see supplier, but now I am kind happy about it looking outside

    ****! My biggest fear at this moment. I'm overdosing on fruit and veg all day long. Sounds like you have enough going there for a couple of us at least :/ good luck!

    Did my return on Friday the 7th July, got my R28k today. Never been disappointed with SARS to be honest. Maybe just because I am a 'simple' case.

    So who is coming to join me for a lap of Around Taupo this year? I think I will do 2 consecutive laps this year, so going to look for people just to get me through lap 2 (when about the last or 2nd last group goes maybe).. http://cyclechallenge.com/the-event/entry-info/dates-and-fees/

    Talk about weather..... damn but it is beautiful out there now! I went for a run over lunch time along the water side in East Tamaki. Sun, gravel path, water, green grass = happy me!

    Haha... I've started road cycling in Aug 2015 actually already Just over 9000km since then (yes yes not enough, but bike did spend a bit of time in a container too etc etc).

    Need to prepare better for this winter riding... These dhb jackets are really amazing, I have one I have been using almost everyday now and it is the only part of my body that doesn't get cold on my ride (in the morning and evenings) these days. And my damn tyres wear off sooooo quickly here in NZ!

    Where it usually takes me on a Monday. .. work...at least past nice scenery (yes it's a volcano in the back there)

    One of my top 3 favorite things in life is so go on such solo adventures here (yes even if the rain might fall at times too). There are endless amount of roads each with their own breathtaking views and I find myself every time a bit more. I didn't get to do one this weekend and this morning I can say I feel a bit 'robbed' from something that my soul needs. Although a rode my bike a bit this weekend, THAT is the main reason I ride, to explore. Looking forward to this weekend to ride with you all....... hope the weather for Sunday isn't as predicted currently though!

    Hahaha! This week has been difficult again, compared to last week. I was on the brink last night to do indoor riding... my flat mate actually told me "just use my trainer" ..he didn't know I have one of my own. I just cant get myself to do indoor training of any sorts. I got poured on properly on Wednesday on my ride from work. It was difficult to see where I was going actually. And my brakes didn't work as good (road bike). This morning I braved it in with a swimming cap under my helmet. I didn't want my hair to be soaking again as I am feeling a bit of a snotty nose, scratchy throat and drip starting. I think it is of riding and running in the rain the last week /weekends. This morning was a nice ride though. Have to say, the sunrises are beautiful the last week or so. Hard to believe soon I will be commuting in full lit skies again.

    So those are non-tarred roads? I am most probably getting a CX bike in December, something a bit more gravel friendly but still good for distance. Would love to go explore like that.

    I am struggling so much finding the right shoes. Spent R1899 a few weeks ago and R2400 last week again. Either the shoes feels too small (short = blue toe nail) or too big/long/roomy (same damn size in both US9)... The latest pair is the NB 880 v7 and although I have only been on two runs with them I can feel the weight difference between them and the NB Zante v3 immediately. I will give myself another 100km or so on them to decide if I need to look into others again,

    To a bike shop.... This bike hasn't been in one since I bought it. I snapped the rear gear cable on my ride and had to single speed half of Auckland before I could get an open bike shop, even put it in myself as their mechanics wasn't working in a Sunday...

    Something amazing happened this week....I rode to work and back (if I make it back safe this afternoon) everyday this week That is 150km of commute this week thus far. Rule #5 had to be applied a few mornings, but now that I know I am capable of arranging day activities/to do's around this I think I will do it more often. I do find myself to be more hungry too though.

    I ran a half last Saturday by myself 'for fun' (it was raining and windy so didn't want to ride)...I got just over 2 hours running (theyre was a bit of extra tune for liking for taps for water), so i think with a bit training I won't hit the wall at 18km Unfortunately I have a tyke in mind already

    I have my 1st ever 1/2 marathon in 8 weeks, I am going to die. I am struggling a bit with injuries (ankle and back) and trained through it and now my body has 'adapted'/learnt a compensation move and I need to get rid of it. I hope I can get that done soon, so I can start working on some pace....I am SLOWWW! I'd like to get into trail running soon though, need to strengthen the ankles.
