training

Hi

Training is going alright here, shins have still been giving me grief so have to watch the running and back off a bit. Biking and swimming is going good though, the weather here is very average, had couple hot days but mainly raining every other day, but still warmer than home. getting close to Budapest now and getting pretty excited, should be good. Sigmaringen is a cool town, me and penny went downtown yesterday and had good look around. Quite good with penny here as got someone i now well and also saves me cooking haha she cooks me lunch!!!!! anyway im off to bed, got a big set of 4km bike 1km run max reps tomorrow......5 of them if the shins can handle it, will see how it goes.

  3. Hi, Aaron! I was wondering when we were going to hear about your second race. Great to hear you got a silver and how close you were to a gold again! I shared your You Tube with some of my co-workers and they were excited for you, too! I know I am only a great aunt, "once removed" at that, but I am truly so proud of you. I cry evey time I see you pull that Finish Line banner over your head and receive your medal. I have seen a little of Germany in person and a lot in photos of a friend who went there for a 3 week tour. It is a very beautiful country. He had photos of some villages and they do look so quaint and peaceful. I assume your shin problems are "shin splints" and I've had the pleasure of experiencing them with skiing, tennis and racquetball. I'm sure your trainers already gave you plenty of advice but I used to warm up my muscles with heat and calf muscle stretching in a hot shower in the locker room before exercise then use ice after exercise to reduce inflammation. Best wishes to you in all your contests and I sooooo envy all of you getting to go to all these places. Don't be in a rush to get back home! This is such an incredible opportunity! You will be seeing and experiencing more during this time than most people ever will in an entire lifetime. You earned your place here..enjoy !! Susan

  7. Hi Aaron, we in Sydney airport so killing a bit of time before we fly to Dubai. Emirates planes are very flash - good flight here so hope it stays that way til we get to Paris. Krystee got her bookmark confiscated at security - it was a steel one like a letter opener - no wonder they took it off her, it looked like a dangerous weapon!!!! Hope your training is going well - say hi to Penny from us, tell her we hope she is behaving herself!!

  9. Hi Aaron

    Very strange experience watching the Southland news programme in Dunedin. Uncle Roy told us about it so have just watched your interview. Benjamin watches your interviews from the Youth Olympics heaps so he will be keen to watch the Cue interview tomorrow. He certainly is a keen fan of yours

    Good luck with your training.

    Take care and all the best
    Judy, Andrew, Benjamin and Georgia
