Belair evening group run. Just short because I didn’t have a head torch and I knew the babies would get upset waking in the pram and need carrying..

Event: NOL - SA Long Distance Championships - Crooked Straight
 

SA Long champs at Crooked Straight.
Spectacular area and really interesting, fun terrain.
Ran W21A to avoid overdoing it in W21E - it was still pretty long but I really enjoyed it. Had some back and forth work Sarah, we often took different routes and ended back together.
Motivated to get a bit fitter soon can enjoy orienteering a bit faster! I’ll try make time for 2 runs a week, and need to do my core/pelvic floor.

Event: Middle Distance - Wiela-Bunyip Reach - NOL and WRE Event
 

NOL middle at Wiela-Bunyoip on the Murray.
Really fun area which I hadn’t been to before and it was so novel to be ‘racing’ again!
Nav was pretty clean, felt very in control (as you’d hope at such slow speed!) but didn’t find it as hard as I expected, because of the good visibility. Only mistake I was annoyed about was dropping to a control lower on the slope which wasn’t mine on the way to 16 when I had been bang on the right height.
Physically got a bit carried away when Tash and Krystal were around in the beginning and I totally burnt up at #9 and felt sick and needed to really slow down from there. Knee was fine tho.

Forgot to stretch after run the other day, knee sore today.. no time for running anyway

Fox’s dam loop (42 mins). Legs have so little strength in them..

Up and down Little Hill twice to catch the last sun rays. Nice to run in terrain, actually felt agile (but so unfit).

Yoga before bed outside in the garden, under the stars. Night air and gumtrees just smells so good!

Finding it very hard to make any time for running etc but made the most of this by going up Fox’s firetrail, the steepest hill around.
Feel so stiff and unco running still. Need to prioritise yoga (after all the other things I have to prioritise..)
