NavDash Churchlands. Heart bugging me all morning. It came good during the race so I was able to enjoy a good fun course by Wayne with lots of controls and a bit of bush in the middle. Pretty happy with my run but I don't think my route on 11 was the best. I was planning to start through the car park and then look to cut through the bush but the track right looked inviting as I approached 10 and the slight uphill through the car park was enough to put me off. Should have stuck to my original plan.

Stopped at the gym on the way home.

Long - Splits

Sand tracks in KP. Legs felt pretty good and got into a nice rhythm at times. A bit of a nostalgic feel running fast(ish) on the sand tracks at dusk on a warm evening, haven't done it in a very long time.

Short shuffle around KP. Mind was willing but the body wasn't.

Intervals with Rachel at McGillivray. 10min tempo, 4x1min faster, 5min tempo, all 1min walk/jog recovery. Warm up from/to the gym. Running on the outside lane of the grass track. Tempo efforts mostly in the 4:10-4:20 range I think which felt pretty comfortable.

Straight into the gym after running.

Easy run in KP. Right calf a bit sore when I increased the pace.

Feeling sick. Probably same thing Amy and Liam had but not as bad for me.

Planning to try a longish run but as I left I jokingly asked Liam if he wanted to come and he surprised me by saying yes. Jogged over to Rosalie with Liam and did a bunch of short sprints for about 20 minutes. Lots of races to various lines and goal posts, races up and down the grass banks, a few variations on chasey using the soccer field markings to constrain things.
Did another half hour loop in KP after taking Liam home.

It turns out this was probably a very bad idea because Liam then spent all night vomiting up everything he had eaten at a birthday party in the early afternoon. From the top bunk he managed to vomit all over the bed, down the side of the bed against the wall and off the other side of the bed down the ladder including into Amy's hair while she slept below. This was despite having an ice cream container with him on the bed because he said he felt sick before going to bed. After switching beds he then vomited in the new bed several more times (again failing to use any of the containers available) but mostly just fluid so not so messy. Spent most of the night cleaning up the mess and Rachel spent all Monday cleaning as well.
