 | Running long 1:31:14 [3]18 km (5:04 / km) | |
| shoes: Nike Air Span |
| Picked up Hoggster for drive to Majura long run way too late. "she'll be right" i said "i reckon it'll just be me and you this morning". Turned up approx. 10mins late with a group of about 10 Cockies with varying patience levels. Apologies once more. Nice enough run basically following the usual route along back of ainslie suburb and thne up the Mt. I felt as hordinary as yesterday and was trailing off ALJ and Sanders who had both run Googong Half yesterday. Was hopeful of every body agreeing to head home after Hacket Hill which would've been about 65mins but instead Hoggster showed leadership and lead us through the single tracks of the pines. Glad he did as I felt better in the half hour that followed.
Went to Deli Marx once more for the bbq sauce bagel. Excellent. Ran into Nic P-C, her mum and her kids at the deli marx so we joined them and had a nice old natter. Bagel was very popular and afterwards chef* came out to say we'd pushed him to his limits with bagel orders.
* I use the term "Chef" loosely as while we appreciate Deli Marx I suspect its not on the 3-hat list of Canberra. |

| A version of 80-20s (80s on and 20s off) with the Hoggster round Black Mtn reserve tracks. Felt pretty hordinary to be honest struggling to generate much speed. Quads felt weary which I didnt think should happen from yesterdays twin pram running and bike riding. Figured as long as I kept trying for the 20mins of the session that would be good but when the Hoggster called a halt due to calf tightness I didnt say no. |

| Twin Pram Running 46:20 [3]8 km (5:48 / km) | |
| ahr:120 max:141 shoes: Nike Air Span |
| Twin pram run round Aranda streets - similar to last weekend. All ok till Zoe must have stirred at about 35mins and discovered her beanie down over her eyes. Fixed the beanie up but for the rest of the run the people of Aranda would have known where we were by listening to Zoe's wails. |

| Running warm up/down 13:00 [3]2 km (6:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Nike Air Span |
| LukeP took on board Hoggsters suggestion from last week of a warm down and warm up and provided an appropriate length from car park to start and back from finish. Nice work. |
| Orienteering intervals 40:00 [5]6 km (6:40 / km) | |
| ahr:144 max:180 shoes: Nike Air Span |
| 4 * o-intervals as Cockys training set by young Master Luke round Commonwealth Park and Campbell. Based on the training he has learnt well from Yoda (GrantM?). Last one contained some real orienteering in real forest which was annoying when i was used to just running ;). Tried to challenge the Hoggster with a sprint finish at the end of the 2nd one and paid for it later. Some good control sites including Commonwealth Park Globe and the US-Aust. Defence Memorial Eagle. Racing past Defence Dept. workers having their morning fag as they walked from car to their office block seemed morally-empowering.
Breakfast at Vanilla Bean. I was attracted away from cinamon on turkish by $4.50 waffle+coffee special. It wasnt bad but I'll be back to turkish next time. While I enjoyed looking at the savings in my wallet later in the day my taste buds are happier with turkish. Coffee was still good but. |

| Running 38:05 [3]8 km (4:46 / km) | |
| ahr:131 max:156 shoes: Asics GT2120 |
| Run home via Little Black Mtn saddle. I always enjoy my running, I guess thats obvious as I wouldnt run most days otherwise. But sometimes I just find myself enjoying it more than I expected for a given run. Tonight I ran home through the forset tracks of Black Mtn reserve in the dark and absoloutely bucketing down rain. I had all the right gear on, including my head lamp, and I just found myself loving it. Something about conquering the elements I guess but it was great. |
