| Willans loop x2, was determined to do two laps today no matter how I was feeling or what the weather was like.... thankfully the weather was good, even started to sprinkle with rain at times and I was feeling pretty good.... think I was still on a high from picking up the keys for our house!! yay!!
Popped around after dinner, got a nice little surprise... the previous owners had forgot to take their funky blue yabbie... going to pick it up on thurs. Looks like I have a fun weekend of moving ahead of me :) |

| Wasn't sure if I'd get this session in today as had a meeting at Tarcutta for the Bypass during the day, but it finished early. Went up to Willans and did my 4 x 1.3km intervals, a lot warmer than I expected, times about the same as last week so can't complain.

| Rather slow in the transition but given it was my first one where I had to change shoes it wasn't too bad. So so damn windy today and I died going along Plumpton Rd (headwind) the first time...and the second loop was worse. Got passed by the other two females doing the long but not until right at the end... had fun changing shoes again!!

| Headed out to Shockeroo Track for some orienteering.. set myself a fairly long course with some looong (1.5km) legs across spur gully areas and then short legs in the limited amount of rock on the map. Happy with how I went in the rock.... the spur gully (which in times was rather vauge) was another story!! Got myself totally confused a couple of times.. then at one stage when I was standing still (just worked out where I was)... saw a brown snake right next to me and I was out of there!! Fun morning thou

| Summer Series Street O around Lake Albert (suburb, not the actual Lake), felt a lot better than I thought I would, maybe my short lie down after work helped. Got 180 points, pushed it pretty hard at the end cos I thought I was going to be late but ended up having 2 mins to spare. |

| First bush Orienteering since Oceania and it showed!! Dad set me two 4km loops out at Connorton, I spent the first loop remembering to lift my legs up over all the fallen timber and rocks, plus try and dodge the MASSIVE spiders that seemed to have made webs between every tree!! Navigationally I felt ok, a bit rusty in the technical areas but no major errors. Picking the grass seeds out of my pants, socks and shoes after was the worst part :(

| No time for running today. Trent and I opted for tourist mode today In Melbourne instead of shopping which was fun, did heaps of walking and was pretty stuffed by the time we got back to our accom.
Went out for dinner at a resturant in Southbank, great choice... because half of the Aussie Cricket team was sitting a couple of tables from us!! Punter, Gilly, Hussey, Clark and Hogg.... got a smile from Hussey when he walked past our table - the food was good too!!
