| Went down Shoalhaven with the cockies and did 90 minutes on a beach. Nice and sunny and sandy and all that, but not the most exciting 90 minutes. Plus I had to spend a few of them nailing it after Kez, Rob and Shep who'd legged it off and when I caught them up I was screwed and got dropped again. |

| Went to Kangaroo Valley for a training weekend with the cockies, but they all either went cycling or went running too early, so Gracie and I drove to the top of Cambawerra Pass and ran along to Red Rocks lookout. Awesome views at the lookout, but the "Grade 3" bush walk was along a gravel road without any views, out and back - not the most exciting. Grade 1 must be about as taxing as walking across the lounge to turn the telly on based on that scale. Ran back a bit harder and did a bit extra and found some rock marks made by aboriginies back in the day. Tony Robinson would've loved it. |

| Was gonna do a bit longer than this but found myself in a thunderstorm so cut it short. |

| Evening run as the sun was setting up Blackie (out over Aranda, back through Frost Hollow). Gorgeous evening, shed loadsa roos out there - seemed more scared of me than usual, must've been my short shorts. Really really buggered at the top of Black Mt (about the size of Win Hill I reckon) so want to get better at hills, but by the end of the run I'd recovered and was feeling quite strong. |

| Orienteering race (Bruce Ridge) 28:00 [5] | |
| shoes: adidas swoops |
| Felt pretty screwed but kept pushing. Tis pretty unforgiving terrain - dry and fast and a bit hilly. Missed a few cos of not having compass and not knowing what a green cross was gonna be (and cos of not being very good), but did alright. Rob got me again and Kez was right up my ass. Grace got me on the handicap system by a few secs too so I'm gonna have to start pulling my finger out. |

| Running race (Weston Park 5km xc) 16:20 [5] | |
| shoes: asics roady things |
| My first 5km race of the summer, so thought I'd race relatively comfortably and see how it went. Felt alright and pretty pleased with my time (out in 8.09, back in 8.11), especially as half of it was on a path rather than a road (shock horror). Loads of room for improvement. Hopefully will be sub 16 by February. |

| Legs felt dead heavy and stiff after getting totally dehydrated yesterday, but I felt ok once I got going. The hills were a pain though and it was the hottest day I've had since the Ukraine so I found it quite tough (it was probs only about 27 tho). Went round the back of Mt Painter and up Aranda hill. |
