This year I resolved to ride purely for fun, companionship and coffee! Today fitted the bill perfectly: a 28km riverside coffee cruise with my friend Gretta. 😊🚴☕

New shoe day! After much research I bought myself a pair of trail shoes today; opting for the zero-drop Altra Lone-Peak 3.5 over the spongey Hoka Speedgoats. The toe box is wide for my broad feet and won’t squeeze my toes; they have a stone plate but there is plenty of flex and feel in the shoe; the zero-drop promotes forefoot running as opposed to the highly-cushioned heel of the Hoka. The Hokas felt interesting; high and bouncy like I was on a rubber playground surface, but I feel the Altras will be more stable on rough terrain. The proof will come on Sunday-week but I plan to wear them at training in the park this morning. 👟🏃😄

FINISHED! Upright & uninjured. The Stay Puft Trail Race was HARD. It was HOT. Boulders. Roots. Single trail. Sand. Ticks. Hills. I only spat out one fly. But it’s DONE! I entered the 12.4km short course. I had to walk a lot of the final few klicks, I was that knackered. I didn’t suffer any joint pain though, so the training and strengthening has paid off.

I knew it was going to be a lot tougher than a road race but I wasn’t prepared for how many people fell over! The sloshing of all the camel packs made me laugh at the start, then it was a series of ‘Ow!’ 'Are you okay?’ 'Argh!’ as the person who turned to offer help then went down as well.

Next up is the Wally Grunter on 7 January. It reportedly has a crawlably steep hill, so hill sprints are on the training program once my calves recover from this one…

PS This jolly photo was taken a good half-hour after finishing - after I’d flopped on the ground and drank 600mL of water without pause. I went to a Christmas party in the afternoon and was on my feet for hours until I realised that actually, I could sit down, most people were by then! 😅🏃💦

Girls Like Us: Smiling; Striving; Supporting. (Girls like us also don’t like Lindor balls it turns out 😂😂😂 - does anyone?) On a sunny Saturday morning, what better thing to lift your spirits than some cadence work and interval sprints with a great group of girls? 😁🏃🌞
