Club training on Saturday wasn't too windy and it was even quite warm. I left at 1:40pm to walk to the bus station which was 1,1 km away. I then took the bus through the city and walked to the airforce museum where we train. We got ready and started with the warm-up. We did 3 x 1'000m (2,5 laps) and a 10km (26 laps). The 10km was hard, just like the 5km on Wednesday, but this time I lastet until lap 13 until I got tired, so I count that as an improvement :). I also had a few shocking moments when I stumbled twice in the corner and almost fell. After training me and Vicky went to town to have some dinner as it was already 5:30pm. We went to KFC (I know, healthy, isn't it?!) but I didn't eat too much. I got home around 6:30pm, took a shower, put my stuff away and then my boyfriend got home and I read my book until we went to bed to watch "Lie To Me".
On Sunday my boyfriend wanted to go jogging (another shocking moment as he never wants to go jogging :) so after we had breakfast we drove to Hagley Park. We started in the north part and my boyfriend did really well. He didn't even complain and everytime I asked him if he's ok or if he wants to walk, he said he was fine, he wants to keep going. We even did the whole Hagley Park lap (north and south). With about 3min to go he stopped though and walked back to the car for his cool-down. I kept jogging until I clocked 35min and made it exactly to the point where we started. I was really, really worn out though. It took everything from me to even finish those 35min and not to walk. That's the thing with running. If I don't do it for a while, I'm completely out of shape and it takes me a couple of weeks to get used to it again and get back to my old shape. It sucks. We drove back home, had a shower and some lunch. In the afternoon we had to go food shopping and it was the first time I drove a car in New Zealand. Even if it was only a 5min drive to the supermarket, I was proud of myself. And so was my boyfriend :). I think he thought I'm quite a bad driver, but he was surprised. When we got home from shopping we were hanging around on the couch before we went to Sumner for a walk and ice cream. It was really windy but because it was a north wind, the temperature rose to 17 degrees so it was a nice day out. Because it was the first time after a long time that my boyfriend came jogging, he was knackered so when we got home we watched a tv show and had pancakes for dinner.
I think today is gonna be another rest day. We're supposed to go skating tonight, but the weather forecast says it's gonna rain in the afternoon, so we'll see. I got up quite early this morning. Even though I was really tired I couldn't go back to sleep. So I got up and checked my emails and looked at the photos from my mum's and sister's holiday. I did the laundry and after I wrote this, I'm going to write applications and then clean the appartment. After lunch I'm probably just going to relax, watch a German tv show and read my book and maybe do my nails... Sounds like an easy afternoon.
