Easy run along the esplanade grass finishing at the harbour. Flat route but legs moving fairly well, only noticing a bit of stiffness in the final minute as I hit the tarmac section.

Another esplanade/grassy field route. Even better legs than in the morning, hopefully that’s the worst of the damage healed although I won’t be doing anything fast for a while longer.

Flat run along the grassy park and fields by Cairns esplanade. Watched Ginie running the parkrun but I sensibly decided not to do it. Starting to feel more like a runner again but calf still tight at times with it being so flat.

Exploring the hill behind Cairns botanical gardens. Lots of nice single trails through the rainforest. Took a wrong turn and ended up on a stupidly steep descent that my road legs weren’t prepared for. Enjoyed it a lot and the legs felt fine.

Easy run from Cairns to the botanical garden then most of the way up the peak behind it. Steep and technical in places so slow going. Calf feeling fine on anything hilly but still tight on the flat tarmac sections.
