Victorian Relays in Melbourne, at Darebin Parklands. This is a small area of park each side of a few bends in the Darebin Creek. Grassy open areas, tree plantings, path, steep slopes each side of the creek in places. I was 2nd leg runner between the youthful Clare Brownridge & Ilka Barr and the slowest by 13 mins. It was very hot running around in the sun and humidity after the showery start to the event in Melbourne.

Good stretchy session.

Orienteering on a new middle distance map with lots of mining and vegetation detail. It was a hot sunny afternoon, too hot to run hard. Good course. I messed up my navigation on at least 2 legs, but enjoyed being out in the bush again. The training task was to do your course twice. I didn't. Too tired after the first time.

First session with the fit ball this month and it was hard.

Early morning run around town in the warm temperature. There were more runners than usual out this morning.

Early morning tone up session at the start of my full time month at work. Hard session - the last resistence bands session for 2 months.
