Yesterday I was up with the sparrows and doing my Turbo jam.  I think I am ready for something more now as am quite confident with it.  Due to this I tried to put more effort in to try and get better results.

I had another busy day running errands in the morning but I was so impressed we got out the door on time.  Had the bank and laybys to pay and bit to refund and other bits to buy.  I nearly bought a trampoline for the kids when I realised I had misread the advertisements.

I picked up Isaiah and while waiting to hear when Martin would finish work due to last day of term I had a picnic in the car with Isaiah.  We then went to the supermarket and started the fortnightly grocery shopping hoping Martin would meet us.  We finished in good time and headed home to put the frozens away and pick up Dayna.

As the day was so nice we decided we better get the lawns mowed as rain was due on the weekend.  I mowed and Martin did the edges and the drive which was long overdue.  It is good looking out and seeing nice tidy lawns.  After eating dinner it was time for a nice quiet night.

Who knows what Wellington is known for?
Well my training programme wanted me to cycle for 40mins.  I just looked out the window  this morning and went don’t be stupid I won’t get anywhere, or would fall off.  I contemplated swapping days and thinking of alternatives or delaying till this afternoon in hope the wind would calm.  I went “no I gotta do this.  It may be like this on race day.”  So off I went.  Man it was hard and I nearly fell off a few times also the wind was blowing right in my face I struggled to breathe.  But I did it and feel great for accomplishing it.  The distance I had to do though to use up 40mins was amazing.  Exciting too as shows I am getting fitter so having to find ways to lengthen the course.

No sooner had I got home and showered we went out for a pot luck lunch.  It was delayed due to others commitments but we ate some real yummy foods which included Lemon Meringue Pie and a family secret recipe Boysenberry Delight.  This has nearly ruined all the good work I have done for the week. boo hoo hoo.

Well I will have to be cautious with my dinner although we are getting Fish n Chips as have some kids over for the evening while the parents are at the rugby.

Lets see how much control I can muster.  Should be good as still full from lunch.

You must’ve been so proud of yourself biking in that wind. Would’ve been a great workout!!! Made me decide we would bring our bikes to Wellignton – Jase was all set to put them on trade Me!

Pleased I have inspired someone. You should see the shape happening in the thighs from the constant pedalling.
Welly isn’t always windy so I am sure you will catch a nice day for the ride.
