Michael dropped me at the SOT so I didn't have to drag myself up that part of the hill after yesterday. Ran up the Harry Ell then along my favourite tracks and up Mt Vernon then down Huntsbury and home. Legs felt exhausted but it was awesome and the weather was amazing. One of those days where I wished I didn't have to come back down the hill and could keep going.

At Bottle Lake while Michael went for a run (chasing after me!). Reminded me why I love mountain biking although the tracks here are a bit easy.

Out to Clare's house then we biked up Kennedy's Bush which wasn't too bad really if you were in the right gear but it was ridiculously hot. Then I attempted Flying Nun and didn't do so well. Had a bit of a meltdown. Then we cruised down the track next to Dyers Pass which was quite nice and back down the road. I need to ride my mtb more.

At The Roxx with Michael, Tim and Stephanie. Climbing okay considering how long since we last climbed but got a bit of cramp in my fingers again and my right wrist is playing up. Grump!

Cruising along the river listening to the News Quiz. Legs felt heavy but okay. There was a "lovely" headwind on the way home again (although it didn't feel as bad as when I was biking home earlier...almost felt like I was riding backwards then!).

Since there was no Wednesday night run we made our own! Michael was game enough to join me on my planned route which was awesome 'cause it was tough. Ran from our place along the river then up Worsley. SO long. I think we were running up hill for about 45 minutes or something. From the top we cruised along Flying Nun where I started to get that sucky stomach pain again so we slowed down a bit. Then home via Harry Ell and the streets. The downhill just goes on forever. Awesome run and I'm killing the hill these days :-P

C • Wed run.... 2

Up to the red tarns and then through the bush track. I didn't want to go home. Considered throwing a tantrum but I still don't think Michael would have let us stay. Could have been worth a try though...
