Still feeling slow. Nat and I headed out after breakfast pancakes ( and bacon, yum)... This time Eoin took the car out to Stromlo so we did not need to ride home again we were planning to do a fair bit in Stromlo. In the end, we were very tired from the HILL and just did a smallish fun loop. Rode out through the Pinnacle and Karma, then skirted Denman Prospect. This time we did Andy's official route with the stupid hill which we will never do again. Our way, where you can actually ride the whole way is much better. In Stromlo did Crim Track, Party Line, White Gums, Ring Tail, Willo Link, Double Dissolution. Good fun but no energy or strength on the uphills.

Feeling tired and stiff hips today. Was hoping to be bouncy. Oh well.

Massively overdressed for an 11 degree morning. Great catch up run and good to get this done before another busy morning...

Took three girls (and Sean) for a late afternoon excursion. Great ride and girls did well climbing most of the way back home. (Eoin picked Lily and Aoife up from horse paddocks). It was so good to get out on a sunny warmish afternoon. It’s been a big few weeks for work but this week has seen a few milestones achieved. 2 out of 3 so far and fingers crossed for one more tomorrow. If that one clears the final hurdle, I am popping the champagne.

This was supposed to just a get out and move run, partly initiated by Aoife getting up to ride before "school". Apparently the mere threat of having to go out with your parents later in the day is so weird, you'd rather get up early and go by yourself!

Anyway, I was jogging along and thought I heard some serious speedy triathletes coming from behind, only to find out it was A&B out for some serious surges. They said I could join if I wanted! Anyway, they were my speed on a couple of their recoveries, and I almost kept up for a 1 min effort, so time for some quick catch ups, but soon disappeared off into the distance. My run was the fastest pace for some time, despite being left wallowing in their wake. Good outcome really.

Got out early, admired frost and then fog. Was actually a pretty nice morning when dressed for the occasion. Nat and I are awesome - we ran the whole way from under pass to top of Aranda Hill.
