Had a rest day on melbourne and happened to find a salomon s-lab running pack on sale so snapped it up for cradle mtn. If I wear the salomon shoes I'll look like killian journet apart from not running anything like as fast

I thought it would be good to back up from yesterday with another long run. Originally planned on 3 peaks, but was slow waking up so decided to start at the war memorial and at least do Hackett hill and ainslie. A bit of a struggle at first but warmed up nicely running through campbell park. I took the track by the fence up Hackett hill, but was checking every stick in case it was a snake so stuck to bigger trails after that. I was going ok, so did majura then went down the zigzag and round the base of HH and up the triple tri track on ainslie. It had warmed up by then so I was glad of a big drink on top before heading down the concrete path.

Easy ride on the ridge

Thursday night bilbys, which was just a trail run tonight. I did an echo style pre-run of about 50 mins and then ran back from AIS which took it into long run territory. Tried running with a hand-held water bottle for the first 50 mins as a bit of a test for cradle, I reckon it slowed me down a bit.

Had to go to the lab to do some watering, so ran in via gossan, aranda hill and blackie. Was feeling a bit tired after yesterday and was struggling a bit through this run. Took the road route back from csiro as was ready for a rest

It looked like a good morning for riding so I headed out for a lateish cotter-uriarra. Only saw two other riders, but there were a lot more cars than I'd expected, maybe heading out for bbqs at the cotter. This ended up being a fairly solid ride, although is a lot harder when you don't get to rest at the back of a bunch for a while.

A christmas afternoon run with daveo, eliz, lou, steve and guy. Very leisurely climb up the triple tri track up majura then down the zigzags, up ainslie on the tricky track with a visit to the labyrinth on the way. Forgot to restart GPS after the labyrinth so time and distance are a guess. Good to get out for a run, although it was a bit longer than I expected. Then off to grantm and marymac's for a relaxed and yummy christmas dinner.

A tour de Pete with robw, acejase, lazydave, hoggster, warlders, shep and sebba. Quite an easy cruise around, quite a lot of the area is unrecognizable compared to when the Pete was a regular ride. Sfoglia afterwards where I had to remind them to make my coffee.

Cockies long run with bigD, grantm and ecmo. Ecmo had already done half an hour. A short run, majura-HH-ainslie as it was getting quite hot. Relaxing milkshakes and coffees after at deli marx
