Training Log: GraceE

More sick today but down to one kid at home. Isabelle and I had to skip the end of year school concert.

Off work to look after two sick kids and also a bit sick myself.

We spent the morning at Lili Pilli Beach. Later, while the others were at the Botanic Gardens, I ran around Deep Creek Dam on the mt bike trail. It was nice but I felt a little lacklustre. During the night Isabelle’s coughing and wheezing had been so bad that she had been moved to the bed for monitoring, meaning she breathed in my face all night (or Matt’s depending on when she rolled over).

We headed to the coast this morning and had a good few hours at North Durras on the beach. It was even fairly sunny. As we left it clouded over and I had to do my afternoon run in a thunderstorm from the motel in Batehaven to Batemans Bay and back along a cycle path. The rain stung my face and it was quite unpleasant.

I got a letter today from the Italian Police. Apparently on the 5th of July near Verona I committed a violation of the Italian Highway Code for “occupying a lane dedicated to public transport”. Well. Are there really road rules in Italy?
Actually quite impressed they tracked me down... my letter went via Denmark because for some reason the hire car place thought I was from there, but a hand-scribbled AU on the envelope got it here in just under 5 months.

Farrer loop - (the rollercoaster and over the hill). It started to rain near the end. Felt good.
