| Short Willans loop, had been hoping to run in the rain (strange I know!!) but of course the drizzle stopped just as I was leaving home. Pushed it harded on the hills this time but some parts of the tracks were super slippery so had to take it cautiously on the downhills |

| Road Runners end of month handicap race, @ Rawlings Park. Really not a fan of handicap races, always seem to run my slowest time and this week was no exception. Started off slow and didnt get caught by anyone until about halfway, by then I was a bit over it and didnt have the motivation to push myself run with others (also had the thought in the back of my mind that I was running home again)

| Felt a lot better running home this week than last, prob hung around a bit too long after the race and had started to cool down (the smell of saucages cooking told me it was time to leave), stopped a mum and dads for a drink from their tap 30mins into the run but was feeling pretty dehydrated by the time I got home. |

| Arvo run up on Willans and then along Red Hill, instead of coming home along Glenfield Rd, went across Jubilee Oval and down Bourke St, stopping in at Tolland Pharmacy on the way to say hi to Trent at his new work. Stayed a bit too long so it was pretty much dark for the remaining 10mins home |

| Club event on Willans Hill, very handy location for me, meant I could sleep in!! Didn't start off too great, drawing my map up wrong (numbered the course backwards). Drizzled all morning which made all the small rocks very slippery. Standard long course at Willans, lots of climb (went over the ridge 4 times) and lots of track running. Took it pretty cautiously cos of the wet, had a nice big slip clambering over one contour bank and hit my knee pretty hard. Enjoyable course set by newcomers Rick and Neroli :)

| Run home after roadies, along the back of the lake and then a slow slog through Tatton, quick drink from the tap outside my parents and then off up Willans, hills in the last 15mins hurt as the rest of the days running had be relatively flat.
Dropped the parents at the airport this morn for the first leg of their trip to Europe... Dad wasn't very impressed with my msg in the arvo that the Roos (Mums team!!) beat the Hawks... hehehe |

| I was strangly motivated for this Friday arvo run.... after a week of forcing myself to go running, eating rather unhealthly and drinking, I was surprised how good I felt, put it down to a couple of reasons...
a) sugar high... had been eating these tasty 'boxing kangaroo' Allens lollies all arvo.
b) re-motivated after chatting to one of the guys I'm running in the Wagga Trail Marathon relay with, and finding out I'm running the last leg (12.2km), so gotta stay fit for that.
c) I'm super happy cos it was Trents last day working out at Jerilderie!! he will now actually be living all the time at our house.
d) it was Friday. |

| Morn streets... so so cold!! My face felt like it was frozen for the first 10mins, then I think I just got used to the numbness!!
Sports massage at lunch, think I left this one a bit too long, my hamstrings were so so tight, nearly kicked Tony at one stage it hurt so much. |

| Oops, hit the snooze button again this morning won't be able to do that tomorrow. Was going to do intervals but my little loop would have been pretty muddy, so did my longer ridge run, nice and hilly! Mum and Cam also went for a run at the same time from my place (Dad walked, still getting over his cold), then I had to cook them dinner :)

| Longer than I was planning to do, but guess I had to make up for sleeping in this morning. Chilly arvo run, on Willans and Red Hill then home along Glenfield road, rain held off during the run but I still managed to get nicely covered in mud from the mornings rain as the tracks were nice and soggy. |

| QB3 Day 2 on "Limekiln Creek for Big Kids", didnt realise this was the same place we ran the 06 NSW Champs. Enjoyable area, technical in places and very vague in others, especially in areas of green.
Started off well in the mining areas, then took a weird route to #4 where Jo caught me. Was really happy with the way I was running/navigating til #9, left the 'track' after #8 a bit too early and ended up fighting through a lot more green than I needed to and then after a bit more bush bashing things didnt look right. Made myself stop still and work out where I was... I ended up being on the ridge we ran along from #4 to #5, was super happy with how well I relocated, it could have gotten very messy!!! Ran the rest of the course well, tiring by the end.

| QB3 Day 1 on new map 'Wild Deer Sands', pretty fun area, flattish and technical but with a fair bit of fallen timber for me to stumble over. Started off terribly, was on the right line to #1 but then drifted back south and found 158 also on a termite before mine, reclocated easily but lost prob 1 and a half mins. Rest of the course was heaps of fun, got a bit scared going into #2 as I could here chainsaws going rather close to the control! Happy with the way I navigated in the technical stuff and felt like I was running ok.

As we ran along Bourke St, a cyclist headed towards us... wearing sunnies at 5.30pm... who else could it be than Mum cycling home from work, no wonder she says its always dark by the time she cycles home!!

| Was lucky to get out of bed for this one, had a horrible night sleep (or attempt of a sleep), only reason I woke up was cos the neighbours were once again making a racket (at least it wasn't music at 3am again...) and I couldnt get back to sleep. Had wanted to do 90mins but settled for a struggled 60mins around the streets.

| To make up for my shorter than planned run this morning, finally got around to mtb riding on Willans Hill. Getting a bit more confindence but still a lot of room for improvement. Was surprised at how well I know the tracks up there. The model trains were running this weekend so had fun riding past them a few times.
