Vic long champs. One horrible error mid course when I went into the green earlier than I should have. Worked out what had gone wrong pretty quickly but still cost 3-4 minutes extricating myself. Also lost 40 secs on no 1'when came across a really big slab of bare rock that was tiny on the map. Still ntb considering how little orienteering I've done. Fitness nowhere near where it needs to be but coming along.

Thanks for the speedy results jimbo - they were up b4 I got home

Vic champs middle. Pretty scruffy run. Started and finished ok but had troubles in the middle getting from the attackpoint to the control. Lost time being distracted by others too

Various commuting and to footy

Usual Thursday run with Nick. Noticed the warmer weather today - probably 18 months since I ran in above 20 degrees.

Commute

Morning commute

Evening commute. 1.5k warm up, 3.5k at solid pace, 1k warm down

To work. Need to get some riding in as training for the spring classics starts on 1 September.

Flat run home listening to Talk Ultra.

Very sore legs. Need a day off

Running in the dandenongs. Not really used to hills so suffered a bit. Beautiful views and cracker day.

Working late and missed the last 109 tram. Had to catch the number 12 instead and run from South Melbourne

Felt quite good despite lack of sleep but had to take a pit stop at the Jeff's Shed. Nice morning for it, listening to this week's marathon talk until my iphone ran out of batteries.

Morning trot from hom3 around the tan and to work. Listened to last week's marathon talk podcast featuring Jess Trengrove.

Intended to go longer but ran out of time. Threw in 2 k at a solid pace at the end

Easy 8k. Legs a bit sore

After not running since October last year I started getting back into it very slowly in May. Have been able to train relatively consistently since then, albeit at a geriatric pace and over minuscule distances.

Thought I'd put down a marker in a 5k race today. Was hoping for something in the 20.30-21.00 range.

Had no idea how fast to run and didn't have a watch. Took off way too fast, and first saw a clock at the start/finish going through 2k on about 18.45 pace. Unsurprisingly the wheels started to fall off at about 3k, lights bumper bars and doors at 4k, and engine seized up at 4.5. Limped over the line in 19.52. Still, happy with that.

Finished 2nd and 1st veteran. Standards ain't what they used to be, although anyone who was any good was running the 10k or half marathon. Think I won some socks but didn't stay to collect them.

Little loosener while contemplating hawthorn's imminent demise.
