Just as I was enjoying running on the soft surface of peter murrell reserve I rolled my ankle - so the situation is either my ankle is stuffed because of the original problem and I can't do anything, or when that is temporarily less acute, I roll it because I pronate so MUCH on that side nowadays because of years of hobbling around when the ankle is inflamed that I can't place my foot flat and there's only about 1 degree of difference between a foot plant and a rolled ankle. it sucks.

Nice to be back on the water. From south end of kingston beach I went south towards blackmans bay - after 10 or so minutes I got a bit nervous with the chop going one way and the swell going the other so I turned around and then kayaked up to the north end of the beach, took on the waves and surfed into browns river. Then up to bridge and back.

Backyard soccer one on one against Toby (7) the soccer playing boy wonder. Took my best game to beat him 3-2. And if the goals had been a foot higher I would have been toasted by his long range shots. Am covered in sweat. I was wearing gum boots.

Running around Sandown checking controls for a race of the Great Southern Shorts.

I did try to kayak today but by the time I got to the water it was blowing and wavey.

Was a nice day today but aside from a couple of hours spent moving mulch from Mulch Mountain to various parts of the garden I spent it planning courses and doing orienteering stuff.

Had plans to take advantage of the windless day and get out for a paddle but Jett was sick so I had to content myself with hauling 2 cubic metres of mulch around the garden and a late night trip to the gym.

orienteering - five mile beach. bit out of practise with the whole navigation caper.
