Day TWO - Back to my morning playground

Yes, the weather is getting better, the days are getting longer and today i went back to the cliffs at Pt Elliot where i love to train. I spent a lot of mornings there last year whilst preparing for my last comp in October 2011.
A whopping 1,008 stair lunges. My goal was 1,000 and i beat it! Yes!
There is a particular wooden staircase where the steps are very wide. Well they are dirt steps actually with sleepers holding them in place. There is 47 of them and i used to go up and down them 10 times in a row. The most i have ever done is 12. Well today i did 20 runs up and down in a row. That made 940 stair lunges. Then to finish and make up to rest of the 1,000 i walked up along the cliffs and made use of a couple of other sets of stairs. Climbing up 2 steps at a time to make them into lunges rather than just step ups. Finishing off with a walk along the cliffs and that was my workout done and dusted for the day. 1 hour and 15 mins in a beautiful location on a beautiful sunny morning. What a way to start the day. MAGNIFICENT. As i said, my morning playground.
