Post-wedding run down to Freo from Cottesloe. Along the beach with Katrin, then sped up to try and make it in to the centre of Fremantle.

Felt suprisngly good, so turned it in to a 45min tempo run. Havent felt fresh running for weeks. Maybe need to get on the turps more often.

Fremantle is reallly nice once past the dock. Interesting sign for the day:-
"Poets have hitherto been myseteriously silent on the subject of cheese".

Wedding in Perth on Thomas' birthday. Sorry dude. Net win for him I think when you factor in the guilt-driven birthday presents.

Run north along Cottesloe beach. Discovered some km markers on the bike path, so did some efforts in to and against the Fremantle doctor. 1km @3:35, 500m @ 1:30 & 1:37, then a random 2min.

First time Ive ever been to Canberra without bike or running shoes. Weird.

Short jog from Willoughby.

Katrin's inaugural session with Yanda's paddle squad this morning. Getting up at 5am must have stung. I cam home last night to find a new ski lying on the lawn - that's the sort of thing I would do.

Summer Series at Lane Cove. Mass start with Andy. Went out hard, blew up & struggled home on Andy's coat tails. Really hurt. Too much on in the real world at the moment to get away with trying to run hard like that. Hips tight & core form not feeling good - not been stretching properly, and starting to get cannon in canoe syndrome.

Had planned a longer run, but time conspired to make it a short jog to and from willoughby to work.

Ran back from the office carrying a trombone stand - as you do.

Farking hot. Pool water temp is 33 degrees.

C • Trombone? 4

Ergo. Finished with 3 * 100m sprints.

Home early, so snuck in a Dam loop for the first time in god knows how long. Took Katrin's old Trek as it seemed to be the most complete MTB downstairs. My bike still had map board on from AROC race last year.

Most enjoyable, but cautious as I wasnt sure what may have changed since last there.
