Training Log Archive: Mounty

Final sailing day of the year, with the MJ kids swapping places for the crew to steer and the F11's sailing single handed. To add some entertainment value it was blowing 15-20kt from the south.

I was impressed how well Annika was going single handed on her 2 person boat...until the forestay attachment bolt broke and the mast fell down. Lucky the boat wasn't damaged at the time, but paddle was cut short.

Saturday afternoon run around the top of Middle Harbour. Little bit of a tight spot in the left hammie from yesterday meant I held back a little more than planned.

Nosh track from Roseville bridge to Lindfield on the way home from work. Got caught out by the shorter days, and ran the second half pretty much in the dark. Bit risky for the ankles but quite a lot of fun on a track you know so well. Got away with it.

"lunch" run at 4pm around the pyrmont wharves.

Running when fit is fun. Running to get fit is a bit more hit and miss.

Change of stair scenery, with 20 reps on Hickson steps instead of Woolloomoollo. Hickons are slightly shorter and steeper.

Best thing about working at the Quay is the holiday feeling that rubs off from the holiday-makers outside. Big queue of punters getting on to the in-residence cruise ship was today's entertainment.

Stiff from w/e. Need to stretch a bit.

Yet another night time run because the day got too full. Meandered down to Rosevillle Bridge, and ran solidly back to Crown of the Hill. Hammies a bit stiff from Sunday.

Just saw Sergy & Maria are organising an AR event in Sydney next month. Sweet. Just need to select which kid to take as team-mate.

Smashed today, and have the sniffles. Wondering if I ran yesterday with the beginnings of a cold (Annika was sick on Friday).
