| Run with Kazza - she usually doesn't agree to a run with me, but my request for a short, easy run this afternoon, prior to lil nic's 'sleepover' mates arriving, was granted. Big problem - how does Kazza define 'easy'? - she's an absolute bloody maniac. Thank goodness we agreed on a definition for 'short'.
NOTE: found out to-day that the 10km last Saturday, which I thought was more like 9.6km, was in fact advertised as 9.2km on the results board displayed before to-days relays - talk about a brutal and deflating reality check!!! |

| Jogging, stretching - Kazza no where to be seen. Did she even raise a sweat? |

| Slow but steady longer run on a magnificent Ashtonfield morning. Kept myself honest up the frequently encountered long / gradual climbs. Wish we had more forest trails for this sort of run in our neck of the woods - hard to escape the bitumen for anything other than short periods of time. |

| First time I have run on the 'Wallaroo' map, another great map from Dennis. Heard club coach Geoff Todkill talking about 'traffic light' O'ing at the orange to red coaching day yesterday. Yesterday arvo, after X-Country, Joshwa told me he reckons I'm running strongly at the moment. So to-day I really tried to do more in terms of speed on the 'green' part of my route choice. Might have been beneficial, though probably negated too often by some pretty slow
navigation around the control circle and slow exit direction decisions - but sadly I have grown to expect that. Great area, really enjoyed David Kitchener's course, and very pleased with my effort overall. Over 100 entries again to-day - perhaps the momentum generated on National 'O' day has continued. |
| Warm Up/Warm Down warm up/down (warm down) 6:00 [1] | |

| Minimal amount of very slow jogging. Slack effort - too busy chatting. Hope I don't pay the price over the next couple of days. |
