| last night it was pristine skies and i got to see comet McNought. West South West right after sunset, atop of the Mount you could see a bright yellow dot, 3 times the size of the average star, as bright as a full moon and a plume of "gas, stellar dust, small rocks and ice" shoots straight up. Thrilled to see someone from Tasmania to publish a great shot of it on the "Comet" Entry of Wikipedia. That pic pretty much sums up what i saw. Comet on Wikipedia |

| Paced run along Lake Terrace East, i was going up the mount but it was sort of late in the arvo and didnt want to push much. I ran east untill i was tired and it also started raining so headed back straight back. Tired and feet a bit sore afterwards but feeling pretty pumped. Knees resented it was all roads as well. |

| Running tempo (in da mount) 30:00 [3]5 km (6:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6 |
| determined jog from the lakes resort behind the hospital into the blue lake loop and back the same way. I focused on posture, long strides and efficiency so i could push more. It felt good, although a long day at work and not so much food (i believe its called Fat Rat Food Depletion Syndrome or FRFDS) was the main decision not to do two loops.
Cuadriceps and lower abs a bit sore afterwards. |

| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6 |
| Park Series Race #3, set by the best (yes Shep, the best) course setter in the world. I saw the map beforehand, and you think thats an advantage, but 3 minutes into the race i realised i was lost, hot and tired. Had some trouble with my route choice between 10-11 and 11-12 and took a while to find 13. Also i had to walk to catch my breath a couple of times, but i feel quite well now. |

| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 6 |
| Cool down run, that i just did so i can put more Attackpoint time. Also afterwards ran around with Andy and Prong Picking controls for another 20 minutes. |
