7 AM

swimming 34:00 [3] 1.0 km (34:00 / km)

Before AOTKM and packing for a flying visit to Melbourne! Very windy overnight so there were lots of branches down when riding there and lots of gum leaves floating in the pool.

orienteering (Goodwood Twilight) 30:00 [2]
shoes: Asics Kayano 23

Was looking forward to running around the Cazzolatos' courses/map (starting from the swimming pool) but knee/ITB just wouldn't - even after riding there as a warmup - so after many stretching stops and some Cliffy-shuffle I called it quits at 12 controls on the scatter (might go back & do the rest on a cooler day). Anyway, Vanessa & Tobias came back to ours for dinner afterwards which was lovely :)

Note

I've been meaning to share this for a couple of weeks because it's too cute to keep to myself:
Running along the footpath and I came up behind a father pushing a double pram with girls maybe 2 & 3 years old, so I bypassed him on the street. As I did this, I heard the little kids say
"She's on the road!"
"You shouldn't run on the road..."
"Be careful, lady!"

Made my day :)
6 PM

orienteering (Flinders Uni North) 48:30 [3] 4.9 km (9:54 / km)
shoes: Asics Kayano 23

Test running my Sprint Adelaide courses with the help of Ben & Toby, who were much faster than me (unhappy knee/ITB) and provided some good feedback on route choices and map corrections. Orienteering is fun!

running (Belair) 51:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Kayano 23

Casual conversational plod with Zara (and Callum, the silent partner). Not sure that we had the full complement of functional knees between us but our tongues were working just fine!

running hills (Morialta) 54:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Nimbus 19

3-falls loop, still trickling (just). Dunno why I am so tired this week but last night's nightmares didn't help. And I'm really struggling with working inside the airless windowless box. But getting slightly less worse on hills I think?

7 PM

running hills (Shepherds Hill) 10:44 [5]
shoes: Asics Nimbus 19

3 x the '3-minute' hill although the ascent took about 10% longer than it used to (now 3:34-36)
a) because I'm less fit;
b) because the sign at the top which was my stopping point has been moved further uphill;
c) because of a slight headwind.
No idea when I last did this!?

running warm up/down 24:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Nimbus 19

Not sure that my hamstring approved of intervals but brain did. Would like to get fitter this year...

running (Bridgewater) 1:20:00 [3]
shoes: Asics Nimbus 19

Woorabinda loop with quite a few people, including Vanessa - yay - on a nice cool morning. Legs weren't great at going up hills, and neuroma still hates me (this is why I haven't done any long runs since Sept) but this was a couple min faster than 6 weeks ago and coffee with prune & custard slice at the Organic Market Café afterwards were definitely worth going running for.
