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.
