ok i didn't go...
but i did do something and didn't just stay in bed. ok - slept in till 7.45ish... but was out the door by 8.30...
decided i wanted to swim today and i also thought a run wouldn't go astray so the morning panned out like this:
Run around the park a couple of times (inside loop) - 8.07k, 6.33 avg pace, 52.50 all up.
run via home to pick up backpack and hydrate (hehe how much cooler does that sounds than 'have a drink')
Run to the pool (Cook & Phillip park) - 2.9k - 6.33 avg pace - 19.02
Swim - 1.2k - freestyle. no idea how long i took - but i was slowwwwww. had planned 1.5k (nice round number) but my goggles started leaking and annoying me and i wanted an excuse. Also getting some twinges in my right knee which i think may not be quite right from the 1/2.
Shower etc then run home - but didn't quite make it - was pretty tired by this point. Did about 2k i think - v slow.
Still I'm not unhappy with 13k run and 1.2k swim for the day although i would have liked to do more. It did work out to around 2 hours of exercise which is not too bad. I may (or may not) go for a ride later this arvo when it cools down...
The swim really stretched out my legs - no soreness or heaviness or tightness at all.

"Not too bad"?? That's a pretty reasonable day! 13k on its own is not bad, and add in the swim?
You're starting to sound like a triathlete - three disciplines in one day ;)
Yes Ellie, that was a good day's training.
I agree it was a good days training.
You don't need to burn yourself out to feel satisfied do you?
A 1.2k swim is good. Very hard work in fact. Most of the ocean swims are between 1-2ks so you should have a go in the surf this summer.
Nice job Ellie - I like the run/seim/run leg ;-)
Wow - go the ironwoman!!! Nice work Ellie, and good to see that you have recovered since we bumped into you on Saturday ;-)
you didn't go!?!?!? MissE, that's an F on your report card >:(
Think you did a good job of compensating though :)
That is an awesome effort. Should be very pleased with that.
"Shower etc then run home - but didn't quite make it"
...so what did you do if you didn't quite make it home? ...sleep on a park bench half way there?

7:45 is a sleep-in??!! No wonder you get so much done during the day! Happy Christmas, Ellie!
You sure did do something! 2 hours of exercise is not bad at all.
