Cross Training Pavers

Running kms today: nil. Cross training pavers: 1 Tonne, moved by hand. One hell of a strength/cross training session...

Usually do a fartlek session (Pain in the Domain or another) on Tuesdays, but couldn't today as was getting work done on the house - some paving in backyard. Yard was prepped, then the bl**dy pavers, all two pallets of them, were dropped off a day early at the top of my empty front driveway, blocking all access. As other supplies (gravel, sand etc) are being delivered tomorrow, needed to move the pavers asap. Unpacked by hand, wheelbarrowed to backyard, then unloaded and stacked. 100 pavers all up, and they weren't small or light ones either - but big (60cm x 40cm) concrete ones... I reckon 10kg each, so 1 Tonne of pavers handled twice and wheelbarrowed. Took a couple of hours, and my arms and back aren't too happy now.

Planned to do an easy 10km after it, but struggled to stand up straight so decided to rest up. Back into running tomorrow - as long as the paving guy turns up.
