| Around Lake Ainsworth at Lennox Head and along the tracks in the scrubby sand dune heathland behind the beach. Finally leaving the Bird Flu behind from Thailand, didnt cough once all day, and felt quite reasonable on the run. I was fearful of Death Adders for some reason most of the way. |

| Remapped most of UTS Kuringgai for the park race tomorrow. Just jogged from place to place, here and there checking the place out. Also ran from Lindfield station there and back at a more robust pace.
Getting some consistent, but pretty piss poor quality training happening which is good. Sleep might also help to whip the dead donkey named Motivation. |

| At Cremorne, which was nice and convenient. Felt like I was pulling a dead donkey around the course, he was especially stubborn up the hills. Got 380, Andy got 490 so there is a bit of work to do.
The course was not particularly good, there was a bunch of controls to the west away from all the rest that I reckon it would have been crazy to get unless you made a point of getting them all (and being really late).
Went to Muse tonight after being offered a ticket by Matt. Havent been a huge fan, like them a bit, but can honestly say they are awesome live, better than on their albums. |

| Ran to and from home to summer series with Margo. Not often an event is only 10 minutes from your front door. Our apartment block didnt quite make it onto the map by about 20m - boo. |

| Dodgy little run just because I felt I should do something. Around Cammeray Golf Course, rained most of the way which was a nice change. |

| Started well enough, but I new what was coming. The body collapsed like a house of cards after 10 minutes. Pushed through to the end, but I am not too happy with my fitness at all. Shameful.
One bonus is not being able to run fast enough to make mistakes, so the run was pretty clean. |

| Warm up, and collected controls with prong and andy afterwards. |

| Strides session down at Tunks Park. Body felt far too good, but I can tell it is just in shock after no training for two weeks. 10 x 100m at a not very fast pace, jog/walk recovery. Calves/Achilles stiff and sore. Ran all the way up the stairs home, which is pleasing. |

| Just back from the honeymoon, glad to be back where haggling is not a prerequisite to buying something, but sad to be paying more than $1 for a beer, or $2.50 for a bottle of Sangsom whisky which was too hard to resist one night. Did a total of one (1) run overseas - got list of excuses a mile long if anyone asks. Real keen to start again though.
Went Kuala Lumpur - Penang - Ko Samui(for xmas) - Bangkok (for new years, with more than just fireworks exploding) - Siem Reap - Bangkok - Kanchanaburi - Ayutthaya - Chiang Mai - Krabi - Kuala Lumpur. Great holiday, real fun.
Stayed for an awesome week volunteering at an elephant sanctuary but saw disappointingly few monkeys on the trip.
