Try to run again tomorrow.

Drive to Apollo Bay.
Highlight... a visit to Dreeite. Great stony rises terrain. Runnable and with some navigational complexity. Alex has been muttering about this area over the past months.



Magic Moment:
Stopped at the supermarket in Colac. Found a shelf stocked with durians! Why Colac? Never seen them in Bendigo. No sign of them at Apollo Bay wher eone would expect some catering to the foodie crowd. Expressed my amazement to one of the workers, and she expressed surprise at my surprise. Claimed they have them every year at this time and thought every supermarket would have them.

Hard to not run. The Whirakee Wattle is out. Many of my Bendigo runs over the next month will be through the best stands if I can arrange it. But the next few days will be at Apollo Bay. Hoping just some rudimentary running might be possible.

Its isn't ITB because the pain is on the medial side of the knee. I'm trying to find things to be grateful for.

Sigh....

C • Coming back from injury 9

Observant readers of this log will deduce the meaning in the sudden appearance of the black bar. This year running seems to be what i can do in the rare and short periods between injuries. A week ago I was seeing improvement in the achilles tendonopathy. Now it is the knee refusing to run. It looks fine, but feels swollen, and hates taking any impact or pressure. I think todays spinning of the pedals is just the beginning. But even riding is limited. I won't be doing that gnarly single track around Maiden Gully. It will be the flat open road for me.
