Can I do it? Yes I can!

“Hills, hills, hills.  Time to get over that vertical phobia and find some nice rolling hills.  Try and aim to do 2 hills each workout that take between 2 and 3 mins to climb each”

Well that is what I am to do this next 4 weeks.  It is all about strength.  The only problem which is quite an issue is I live on the flat like real flat.  I don’t know where the hills are without having to do some real steep ones.  I am not ready to do the steep hills yet (maybe 3weeks time).  I had heard that Naenae had some so that is where I went.

Well I was lucky that a friend had Isaiah for the afternoon so I could do my ride as Martin was not to be home till 5pm so a bad time to cycle as dinner time in our house.  Rebecca lives in Naenae so I parked there and took off.  This ride was also an investigation of the area in search of hills.  I found some inclines not quite hills as such, but more than I have ridden thus far.

I rode all over the place and not in any set order.  I found some streets that looked like a hill but I should have read the street sign as they were groves so therefore I turned around in the cul de sac and rode on.  I was impressed I rode for 30mins going up and down inclines and really testing the gears on the bike.

There was one incline I saw in the distance so I will try that next time and hope it is suitable.  If not I will have to find somewhere else that is hilly.

When I went back to collect Isaiah, Rebecca sprayed a new fragrance on me and as nice as it is, it is to strong and has given me a headache and I can’t seem to wash it off.

Well must put the munchkins to bed.

Tomorrow is a 40min run/walk so I may try the big steep hills and see how I fair as hills are part of the run programme too.  In saying that I would still like to try reaching 1.5km so will see what I do tomorrow and let you know.
