Saturday Wasn't planning on doing anything after feeling so sore yesterday but woke up early feeling Ok so rode 8km.
Sunday Storms forecast for today so it seemed like a good rest day. Then T rang saying she was going up the dam to walk, did I want to go to. No I didn't, it was going to storm...I went and we walked for just over an hour.
Monday Nothing
Tuesday Nothing
Wednesday Nothing
Thursday Nothing as yet, again. It's raining, I'm a sook and don't want to do anything in the rain. And I have to go into work for a few hours soon. Excuses have started.
Friday And again, nothing.
Am I fitter? haha, there is no way I could be.

Saturday 16th - Friday 22nd May
Saturday Rest day today. Because I got busy then couldn't be fagged!
Sunday Bush walk up at Marrinup Falls. Of course there was no water except for a couple of stagnant pools but the walk was great. Hills, steps, lots of nature, I loved it.
Monday Another rest day haha Or am I still just too lazy to get out and just do it.
Tuesday Thank goodness for daughter otherwise I would have done nothing again. T walked out with the pram so we all walked up to the corner and back. I did 3km but by the time she was home again she ended up with 7 on the clock! Brilliant woman, she is doing so great with it all.
Wednesday Hmmm, bad habits creeping back in with no ride or walk again. Did go into work for a few hours and really felt that by the time I got home.
Thursday Have work again this morning so wasn't going to ride but decided on a short 8. But got to the 4k mark and thought I'd do the 11k ride. Home now and I rode 14km. Pleased with that. Hard work though so need to go more often.
Friday I am so sore. I hurt so bad...and all because I walked for a few hours. haha Went to Ridley place with daughter and youngens and decided to walk to the old LaPort pipeline. 'Cause you know, it's just there, not far...'ceptin it wasn't "just there" It was miles away. Then miles back. Fun though. How T walks and pushes the pram with 2 kids I don't know, hard work that. And luckily not my job!
Google Earth says 3.5 there so all up we would have walked more than 7, there and back, up and down and crossing roads etc..
Am I fitter? I don't feel fitter this week. I hurt, everything has been an effort, too many days of nothing...

Saturday 9th - 15th May
Goal for May is to get to 15km.
Saturday Rode to Hamel this morning, intending to get to the hall then turn around and come home again but by the time I got to the end of Roberts Rd I was buggered and the hall was uphill. So turned left and went into the old nursery. Back up to the road and onto James, Fawcett then home again. Turned down limestone instead of George as I was still buggered and hit 15 at McNeill. Next time I will do George. So 15.5 at our driveway and you know what that means...16 was right there! so up past Buzz's then home again. 16km ride this morning, 1 hour. Gotta be pleased with that!
Sunday Went for a walk at Creery Wetlands with T and her kids this morning over in Mandurah. It was nice, not fast as we had to keep stopping for phone messages due to a family emergency but otherwise it was OK. We might do it again one day when we can just do it without the drama.

Monday Rode 15km this morning. Rode out to Summers Rd but seeing as just under 3 km of that is gravel I wont do this ride too many times. I will have to ride it when I decide to do the 17km circuit that will get me to Coranation and so back home...Not this week though.
Tuesday Nothing all day but finally decided to get on the exercise bike before I called it a day. So 30min on that, better than nothing but I need to get the moving out of the way early or chances are high that it wont get done at all.
Wednesday 14km this morning. Really couldn't be bothered going at all so it was half past 8 before I even started. Tried to ride through the sandy track that is Leach but gave up after half a k...next time.
Thursday Didn't ride this morning and got busy doing other stuff but daughter was going to come into work with me for a couple of hours and she took a detour...So a 1/2 hour bush walk done. Walking tracks and inclines is bloody hard work, think I need to do more walking.
Friday 3km walk to the corner and back, flat road, took 40ish minutes but had the youngens so some time was stopped or slow. Tiff walked to here from her place first so she ended up with an extra 2 and a bit k's, pushing a pram with 1 sometimes 2 kids in it!
Am I fitter? Can go much further on the bike and in higher gears but walking is hard. I will need to walk more. Used to get to the corner and back in 30-35 minutes so that's something to work on and we have a friends permission to walk on their hilly property. The dam area has some nice bush areas to walk too and the pines is sandy bush tracks so there is really no excuse.

Sat 2nd May - Fri 8th.
Saturday Went bushwalking again this morning. Daughter has an app that shows how long we walk, how many km's, how long it takes... What this mornings record doesn't show is all the uphill bits that we did. Lots! And then some more. I will ask her for the stats and put them on here somewhere just for my own record. No bikeride today.
Sunday Was going to have a rest day after yesterdays walk but felt OK this morning and decided on a short ride, maybe the 8km. Got to the 4k turnaround and still feeling OK thought I'd do 10, maybe 11...Got to the 5.5 turnaround and the next one "was right there" so I went for it. 13 km ride over and done with before 8am. Happy with that! And this evening daughter walked out to our place so I walked halfway back with them, More than a km but not much.
Monday It's raining and I'm too sooky to ride in the rain. I could use the stepper. Or the exercise bike. But I need to go into work for a couple of hours soon...Hmmm, maybe later. Ended up getting on the exercise bike for 17 minutes. Would have been longer but the tablet went flat!
Tuesday 4ish km walk. Walked the streets in town this morning with daughter, for over an hour. I used to be able to walk 3k's in 30-35 min, flat ground. This mornings walk, much slower, but not as flat. It felt like a real workout, much harder that the bike rides.
Wednesday Massive storms here last night and wet and windy this morning so I was gunna stay home, light the fire, watch Netflix...But daughter rang so we went for a walk. It was slow as grandson wanted to jump in all the puddles. Her app says I walked 2.4km, it seemed a lot longer but could be because it was so slow... No ride. Edit the walk was longer, 3.85 by my calculations.
Thursday Nothing. I'd like to call it a rest day but really I just kinda forgot to do anything because it was wet and cold.
Friday Rode the 13km route this morning. We had storms a couple of days ago and the evidence of how wild it was is all over the road, so many branches, sticks and honky nuts. And a few trees down.
Am I fitter? Absolutely. This mornings ride was quite easy and I didn't even have to change gears as much as usual. I'm even thinking I'm ready to add some distance, might aim for a 15km ride before the end of the month.
