It has been quite a busy week. I did go for that long run right after I wrote the previous post (and you thought that I was just being flippant), I went for another long run the following morning as well. Though it was an accidental eleven kilometres because a road I thought was quite short turned out to be longer than I remembered. It seems quicker when you drive it.

I also had a go at being a pace runner for Parkrun. Pacing is harder than I thought it was going to be. I had a time of 29 minutes to stick to for the 5k which is well within my pace. I had written my goal kilometer pace on the back of my hand, and then just tried to stick to that pace based on my GPS watch. I kept finding myself running at a much faster pace though and had to be really disciplined to not try to overtake everyone in front of me. I crossed the line at 00:28:48 which was pretty close though. I really enjoyed the challenge and would happily pace again.

Then, if that wasn’t an already an action packed week, I was convinced to join in a kayak pool session to brush up on rolling and bracing skills. The last time I went to one of these sessions was about two years ago and most of my kayaking recently has been in a K1 so I was a bit rusty, but after a while I had got my roll back and was screw rolling and back deck rolling with the best of them. The morning after, and even now I have some aches. I haven’t used those muscles for some time.

And like an infomercial about to throw in another freebie to what is already an unmissable blog, that you can pay for in 12 easy installments…

…But wait. That’s not all. I also joined a gym!

Yes that’s right. This week not only do you get 2 long runs, a pace run, and a kayak rolling session thrown in, you also get the promise of future posts about how many dead lifts and arm curls I have completed…
