It was going to be a long run, but after much deliberation and general tardiness, it was decided a short run in Cleland was in order. Troy and i trudged off on short one which plunged straight down into a deep gully which only very slowy climbed back up to a waterfall then happily contoured around the hill back to the car at Eagle on the Hill. It was a very pleasant run int light drizzle amongst the flowing creek and noisy birds.

I don't think i really needed to do this run, but i agreed to. Took off at 6am to do a bit of a temp run toward the west. Problem was my legs and i were just too tired to do it. Fern and I got as far as Goodwood road and traveresd the back streets to the railway crossing on Sussex Tce. I decided i had had enough and turned up the Railway line for home. Fern followed and once we got home, Fern went off to do a second lap. This was the first time in ages i have been on an early morning run. It followed some hard work at the gym and poor sleep, so it probably wasn't the greatest idea.
Probably would've been better off running at lunchtime from Mawson Lakes.

Started ou bad with 5 min on the Treadmill. I hate those things. But things improved with some squats, followed by squats, and we led into some squats. After that there were some lunges (but they are pretty similar to squats) and some squats with medicine balls, and some backwards squats (he called them leg raises, but i know better).
I have a feeling he's targetting my abs, and legs. It's a good thing i don't mind doing squats.

First episode back at Morialta. It was good. My legs felt mighty heavy at the start, but seemed to loosen up after a while. Did the ol' loop and managed to do the hill climb in 9'03. This is a good benchmark to improve on. The weather was great and there was water flowing in the creek and over the falls. Went for dinner with Troy and Andrea after the run at Cafe Buongiorno. Mmm Caneloni.

An easy run with Jenny up to the bridge in Brown Hill Creek and back. Sotpped off at Lexie and Mikes on the way home to get the gory details of the honeymoon.
