Midweek update
Apologies in advance everyone. This blog is so negative at the moment you can see why I'm not updating it daily.
Sunday
20 mins treadmill (ten minutes running). 12 mins rower (2k).
I spoke too soon last week when I said I was feeling human again. The pain returned with a vengeance on Sunday so I took it easy and did the minimum I could get away with in 30 minutes of cardio.
The best bit was that the Sydney Running Festival was on the TV while I was on the treadmill at the gym so I can now say that I ran it with you all, albeit very briefly.
Tuesday
Walk/jog around the lake. 3k.
My hips and knees were so stiff it was like trying to run in leg braces. Not very graceful at all, I'm afraid.
Wednesday
Ten mins treadmill (5 mins running), 2k rower (10:38 mins), 25 minute bike ride around the lake (approx 5k) plus Abs Express class.
Thursday
40 minute walk.
I was going to go to the gym, but as I have a sprained wrist (no rowing), have done some jogging two days in a row (no running) and can't bend my my elbows or knees (makes cycling a little awkward) I gave up and decided to take the easy option.

No need to apologise chicky; it's your blog!
I'm really proud of you for continuing to push your boundaries, despite your difficulties.
And of course you were running with me during the Sydney Running Festival. Your support, encouragement & advice has helped me get to where I am now. Thank you.

Keep at it Cirque, obviously you're going through a rough patch at the moment, but you're not alone there.
Oh, how did you sprain your wrist? Please tell me it was something slightly comical like being due to vigorous whisking - that's where most of my injuries come from (I twinged something in my back on Sunday from picking up a sock as it happens - was too embarassed to blog about it)
I missed the running festival on TV!! :(
Like Miners, I was wondering about the wrist too :-(
Shame you can't row, your times there are pretty impressive. Its something I always struggled with at the gym so much so that I just gave up.
What lake is it you cycle/run/walk around?
Hi Cirque - sounds like a damn tough week. Well done for keeping going - does the word "rest" ever come into your mind? Perhaps not!! I hope you are still able to open up a bottle of red using your good wrist! PS. send down a bit of that warm weather will you?
Actually Cirque I didn't find your blog negative at all - in fact I was impressed that despite your aches and pains that you still managed to do something exercise-related most days! That's resilience, so well done - big pat on the back. Here's hoping for a better week!
