Rocks Riverside Parkrun.
First one since April so was kinda hoping to go faster than this but I guess that the past few weeks' training hasn't been super great. And having a million class parties and a weakness for cake probably doesn't help either.
I think I also started out a bit too fast, though on a good day I think I would've been able to hold this pace, but I was too tired and not in it mentally and slowed down a fair bit.
Really nice morning though and glad I went all the same.

This arvo at ParkO my hip was so painful, even just to walk on. So going to take it really easy this week and see how it goes. I think it's either my shoes or the way I run/walk or maybe some muscles pulling something weird. Not sure

Stretching and rolling

Easy active recovery, doms galore after strength yesterday, probably because I haven't done it in a while.

Weights and core. Did everything in 12s for the end of year 12!!

Been super tired recently so have just been taking it easy. Have been doing lots of walking though checking map and control sites for the parkO coming up.

The plan was up Cootha to see the moon. Decided to add in a little extra loop at the bottom and arranged to meet again with Francois at the hut. When I got to the hut I couldn't find him anywhere so I did a loop of butterfly track to try to find if he'd gone into the forest earlier and was waiting for me along there somewhere, but no such luck. Found a friend and had a short chat then did another loop from the hut then just bailed and went up to the top because it was getting too dark and I didn't have a light. The last km or so wasn't great because I was tired and losing good form and a bit stressed out because I wasn't with Francois and also couldn't see the track without a light. Found him at the top, along with a ton of other people in a massive traffic jam, I guess trying to see the moon which by that point wasn't very impressive anymore. Nice night out though, though stomach wasn't feeling the best because I had to eat pretty soon before heading out after spending a while at the dentists this afternoon. Sunset was really pretty though and the moon was really cool early on.

Easy jog back to the car after checking control sites at Anzac Park. Watch is still being a bit dodgy with gps gah
