Firstly, the Lemon Chicken and Rice experiment ended in a call for Pizza delivery.  If it hadn't been for the guests we would have just had vegemite on toast - but can't serve that to guests! The chicken = bland but cooked rather nicely, Lemon Rice = really not my thing, left a funny kinda off aftertaste. 

I only ran once this week - managed 10 minutes on Tuesday morning but my ankle started to hurt and my back cramped up a little so I stopped.  Took Thursday off in the hopes that the extra few days rest will let the ankle heal.  It's certainly improved over the past two weeks, so I'm not concerned, it will come right if I'm careful.  Will be strapping it up before going out tomorrow.  I'm hoping for a long run, and keep on schedule with the OHR program - supposed to be 40 minutes.

I haven't done nothing since Tuesday though, I've got on the exercise bike a couple of times, and kept on with the 200/200/100.

The results for week 2 day 3 -
Squats - max 45 (total 105)
Sit Ups - max 25 (total 61)
Push Ups - max 10 (total 32)

I'm really impressed with the total numbers I'm getting up to.  The programmes are working just like the c25k - I started off thinking it was near impossible to do 100 pushups, now after only two weeks I can see that I should be able to make it!

Really looking forward to test running the Sportsband tomorrow, and I've got about an hour or so of music cued up on the shuffle - the playlist looks a little like this...

I've just received 2 new CDs in the mail this week - the soon to be classic " Evelyn Evelyn " CD and the new Natalie Merchant project "Leave Your Sleep". The Evelyn Evelyn CD is great - couldn't help but laugh at some of the tracks. And the Natalie Merchant discs are, well, interesting. I'd thought I'd probably listen once and then file away with the rest of my 10km/NM collection, since poetry isn't really my thing. But I'm really enjoying a number of tracks.
