Diversions

The discerning reader will have observed that I haven't been recording my daily rides.  That's because I parked up the bike in the "study" a week or so ago, and have had difficulty getting it out of there.  Not because it is physically difficult to get it out. 

I think about being on the road for 2 hours, it's either too early so too cold, too windy, too late in the day so there will be too much traffic.  There are other things to do.  It's easy to make excuses.  So, go for half an hour then.  Half an hour would be half an hour.  But that hasn't worked either. 

I'm almost "half way" in terms of the bigger goal - its usually this point I turn around in my head and sabotage my own progress.  I can't explain that. I need to get over that, but there is the niggle and memory factor that sort of bubbles and provides the bigger challenge than the actual execution of the exercise factor. It's Ok, I am going to push through, I have "got this", but that's how the last few days have been.

Week 5 of the "in-between" jobs is not helping.  Yet I know that there is a reason of I've got this time to reflect, and time to use.  I don't exactly know what that reason is other than there must be a reason.

I did about 4-5 hours gardening today - another day and then I should have the back garden in order.  I want to get the south side done before my neighbours get back from their holiday which is in a week or so.

I have as an aside created some awesome curves around the vegetable garden, and pruned the feijoa trees pretty finely.  The curves were there already, but with everything overgrown they couldn't be seen.  Now they make the garden look quite cool as intended.  Now I just need to remember to do the same thing with my body!

I also slept in the middle of the day not that I needed the sleep as I'm not sleep deprived.  I only got up because the Blood Service rang to see if I was giving blood this week.  I am, and that will get me into Wellington for a day, but I'll have to time giving blood after I have been to the gym.

So, boot camp has had a bit of a diversion.  

Normal service may resume tomorrow...because I know exercise wise the gains I can make now will not only make training easier, but Taupo easier.

I may have to resort to making lists for the next few days - as a means to getting more out of the days.  I am so not a list person, but I think it will probably help.
