Time To Mix

Today:
Run distance:  5.25 km
Time: 27' 08"
Rate: 5' 10" per km
Weather: cloudy, temp 18 degrees, humidity 70%, wind NNW 20 kmph
Week:  5.25 km,  April:  259.35 km,  Year: 1596.45 km

Time to get back to basics and mix up the exercise routine.
Today, I rode the mtn bike to work in the early morning. Then, after a 2 km warm up on the exercise bike in the gym, 4 circuits of my machines plus crunches, all at easy weights or intensity. After that, the run to Pine Is and back, comfortable pace. Then, bike ride home for lunch. Car back to work in the afternoon as it looked like rain, and it did later on.
This start to the week is to get back into a routine that I can maintain, increase & modify as needed. Obviously the running will gain in importance, but the other factors can't be let go.
I believe after showed up at the 24 hour that the overall fitness plan helped stop the strong/weak muscles imbalance.
Certainly there was no upper body fade at Coburg, and the legs other than the shin soreness ( caused by the hard surface) were really good all day.
Now, have to work out how to stay awake for the duration & not nod off to sleep at 4 am.
