A weekend in the water
I decided to spend the weekend doing deep water running rather than land running. I'm travelling again next week and there's not many pools in Bordertown so I thought I would save my land running quota to this week.So the weekend went:
Saturday: AM Pilates GRC class; felt very weak and wussy this morning!
PM late afternoon water running session down at Clovelly.
10 mins warm up
Intervals of 2.5 mins hard 30 secs rest X 8
10 mins cooldown. A total of about 40 mins
Then I had a nice snorkel with Mr lulu.
Sunday
Went to Bondi Icebergs as Mr lulu was having a massage. I got in the slow lane and did a lap to warm up, which took me about 4.5 mins. Then I did another 7 laps at a good steady pace and having a quick breather at each end of the pool.
Felt pretty good afterwards and had a bit of sunbathe too. Managed to get burned on my back depsite wearing a tee shirt in the water. I think it was walking to the pool that did it! Hope Mr lulu doesn't notice otherwise I'll be in big trouble later!
Week in review:
Didn't do everything that I had on my programme this week but managed to do something most days. I was a bit ambitious with last week's plan I think! Plus I was feeling decidely unmotivated and tired for most of the week so it's not a bad effort!
Monday Aqua and Pilates
Tuesday: nothing, nada!
Weds Aqua Satan
Thurs: run 30 mins!
Fri: Aqua Satan
Sat: Water running 40 mins and Pilates
Sun: Water running 30 mins
Weight loss .5kg (total lost 2kgs)
Week 3
This is going to be a bit more tricky this week and I'm not likely to get a trip to the gym in either, so I'll have to do some Pilates stuff on my own this week or suffer when I go back!
Monday; Run 30 mins
Tuesday: Aqua Satan
Weds: Run 30 mins or longer if knee is OK (Bordertown)
Thursday: Water running (Albury)
Friday, Sat and Sunday: Run or water running depending on knee (Albury)

Good time of year to be in the water Lulu!
Well done on the weight loss.
Sounds very european and english - sunbathing.
If Mr Lulu gives you grief, go for the rolling pin again.
Looking forward to the nightlife blog reports from albury and bordertown.
Congrats with how you're progressing Lulu, and yeah, good to save up on that land running. :)
It's good now you have the choice of water if the land is not suitable. I will probably take you up on your offer but not for a week or two. Congrats on the steady weight loss.

You will be getting web feet soon lulu :-)
Good to save up your land running - you may need it in the badlands of Bordertown!
Looking at your week in review, I'd say you did plenty. Hope the knee isn't giving you too much grief - those water exercises sound challenging, especially those squates. I have enough problems doing them on land!
Hope you enjoy Albury Lulu. We have friends on a property down there and always enjoy the stay.
you know, I wonder if they have ever held some water-running championships? You're getting a good headstart on all of us.
Hope the knee keeps behaving itself :)
A weekend in the pool you must look like a prune!! Keep it up :-)
Prune face!?!
