To the weir and back in a big pack with the front-and-middle-runners doubling back to the tail-enders at each bridge. I found a pace/place between Abi and Ana, and to my surprise maintained it quite well. (Would like to be able to drop my hands & elbows more, but hips get in the way.)

Even though yesterday's run was a struggle, it made today's run better. And afterwards I got a call from Susanne saying "Eleanor wants to talk to you because she misses you"! Awww….

Twilight (because the sun set after 10 minutes) run on singletracks around the nose of Bellevue Heights. I found a cupboard nailed to a tree and inside was a complete repair/spares kit for any MTBers who might happen to need its contents - nice.

Lovely conversational run with Fern and Zara/Callum up past the still-dry waterfalls, down into the redwoods, park boundary to Olave Hill Rd (great views coming down Olave but my knees didn't like the descent) and back to the golf course via Turners Ave. I can see that I've lost fitness since Easter due to being so busy at work the last couple of weeks - and it's unlikely to quieten down any time soon. Now to take parents to the airport so we can farewell SLEH :(

While waiting for the icing to set on the biscuits (heart-shaped, genuine German Pfeffernusse aka gingerbread - the recipe really does include black pepper) I had made for B&S' highly enjoyable engagement party tonight.

Warmer in than out! (Beats doing the dishes, which will still be waiting patiently for me when I get home.) Nice to see some water trickling in Brownhill Creek past the pool :)

Redwoods run with Zara (& Callum) on a dark & rainy night. I've spent far too many hours at work this week, so needed to get out, but didn't expect it to have already turned into winter :(

At least I've now managed to book all the accommodation for the SF trip, but it will actually cost nearly $4000, because I hadn't realised about the 14% accommodation tax...
