Netty 36:00 [3]
shoes: Saucony Kinvara 6 (August 2016
Another big win for the Angels. My shooting was definitely off today however I am going to place some of the blame on being kinda tired from my run. Arms felt shaky and I just couldn't get the distance right.
4 AM
Running (Recovery run) 55:32 [3] 10.0 km (5:33 / km) +168m 5:07 / km
shoes: Saucony Kinvara 6 (August 2016
Last run before the Rogaine. Just wanted to run today and then get tomorrow off to give all the niggles a day to recover before the 6hr effort on Saturday.
The trails around Jesmond bushland are actually really nice so that meant the run wasn't too bad.
Looking around at prices for printing large sheets of paper. It's an absolute racket. Somehow a colour document costs about 10c per page in A4 but as soon as you want something in A1 it's at least $25-$30! I mean it can't be the ink or the paper because you're essentially just scaling everything up by 8 times. If the cost scaled with paper size and ink it should cost about $1 per page. I will continue my quest for cheap printing.

6 PM
Running 1:12:35 [3] 15.5 km (4:41 / km) +297m 4:16 / km
shoes: Saucony Kinvara 6 (August 2016
Run to merewether and back via the foreshore and beaches with Macey. Stomach did not enjoy this one bit so it was a big of a struggle. Can't really pin down what I ate that made it so sore. Other than that felt pretty solid. Only a few days until the Rogaine.

(rest day)
Visited Fairley Dams with Denis to check out some possible crossing points for the creek and just talking about a few map updates and possible control sites. Can't help but to notice the passion he has for the sport and the club.

Running tempo (Tempo with Macey) 50:03 [4] 11.4 km (4:23 / km) +49m 4:18 / km
shoes: Saucony Kinvara 6 (August 2016
Nice evening run with Macey. The big dog is a little off peak form at the moment owing to work and illness so I hope this session didn't break him. 2km warmup 8km 4m/km or under with a warm down at the end. Felt actually pretty cruisy at 4m/km which is a nice feeling! Leg didn't seem too bad.
Note
I'm entered with Brooner for the Rogaine! Popping my Rogaine cherry! Hopefully it'll be a blast.

Running (Nice n easy sunday jog) 1:00:57 [2] 12.1 km (5:02 / km) +193m 4:40 / km
shoes: Saucony Kinvara 6 (August 2016
Nice easy run with Macey on a sunday afternoon. Kept the time around an hour because that seems to be all I can get away with without starting to feel the calf complaining. I can work within those bounds for a couple weeks and hopefully the issue will be resolved and I can go for a proper long run again. The Kinvara's have worn in nicely and feel really nice to just take a long jog in.
Note
Alas it is the last day of entries for the Lake Macquarie rogaine and nobody's come out of the woodwork for a late entry. Brooner if you see this read your damned emails! Unless a knight in shining armour comes along it looks like I'll not be making my Rogaining debute this year.
Vetter Needed for Minor Event (Sept 4th)
If you're a member of my vast attackpoint log readership and you're thinking to yourself "I really feel like being a vetter for a Newcastle Orienteering Club minor event" well you're in luck! I need someone to help me out with my minor event as noone has currently signed up. For those interested, the map is Fairly dams (possibly via the range).

Running race (Newie Parkrun) 17:37 [3] 5.08 km (3:28 / km)
shoes: Saucony Kinvara 6 (August 2016
First park run in a while. Time is provisional pending results (I forgot to stop my watch). Felt quite in control the whole time and paced the effort pretty well I think. Still felt like I had something left at the end which is a nice feeling! I feel like I just need some more pace, maybe a higher cadence if I want to really put a good time together.
Running warm up/down 31:00 [2] 6.0 km (5:10 / km)

Entries are closing soon for the Lake Macquarie Rogaine. It's happening on 20th of august. Anyone keen?
Strength n stuff (Rowing machine) 30:00 [4]
Rowing machine at the gym cause I want to not run for a few days and let my leg fully recover but I still wanted some cardio. It seems that since I was 16 my rowing ability has sadly decreased. I attribute this to a declining upper body strength, due to years of refusing to do anything mildly upper body related :P
