Run 51:45 [3] 6.79 km (7:37 / km)
(injured)
I came up to Benalla on Friday afternoon and have had a fairly sedentary weekend, apart from a plod around Reef Hills today. It has been very humid.
On Friday night (my birthday) I went to Thoona pub (a small country pub about 20 km west of Benalla) with friend Peter for dinner, which was nice. He didn't enjoy it much as he did our previous visit - when a busload of about 30 20-year-old girls in mini skirts arrived for a hens' party and sat all around us. Nevertheless tonight, being the out-of-towners, we got to draw the chook raffle in true country fashion. And I enjoyed smelling the wet freshly mown grass from our seats in the garden.
The plod around Reef Hills was a bit ordinary. I'm fine on the flats and downhills but have a calf problem uphill. I walked up all the hills today.

Run (Street-O) 41:00 [3] 5.72 km (7:10 / km)
(injured)
Street-O at Blackburn lake tonight in perfect cool conditions with rain part way through. I made some shoe adjustments since last night and managed to jog the whole way with no ill-effects, so hopefully I'm on the mend. It was 'local knowledge' territory and I chose a comfortable running route rather that a high scorer. Tonight there was the biggest crowd I've seen at one of these events.
Ian went to a sports podiatrist on Monday and I tagged along. Out ailments are the same - non tracking kneecap - so I've been doing the exercises/stretches etc as well and they seem to have made a difference. I need to be more fussy about my shoes.
Nearly got runover today - was in my usual sort of private dream world ambling along when I got to the Albert St/Spring St lights. I heard the beep beep beef, indicating a green light and headed off - only to see 3 lanes of cars heading straight for me (fortunately from across the intersection) and a very horrified DSE Chief Finance Officer watching from the other side.

Walk 1:00:00 [2] 6.0 km (10:00 / km)
(injured)
Still only walking. Tried jogging a bit but not too satisfactory. I'll try harder at tomorrow's orienteering.
Today's work discussion.
Boss - 'What are the 5 main blockers stopping us achieve our burning targets?'.
Prue - 'Water'.
Boss 'Yes, but what else? Have they all got the wrong attitude?'
Prue - "Even if they still had the right attitude, the bush still wont light.'
And so on and so on.........

Yoga 1:00:00 [2]
(injured)
Happy Valentines Day to anyone who cares and who is still waiting for a message. Sooo romantic!
Yoga tonight. I haven't been for ages and could feel the difference.

Note
Forgot to add. Romance isn't entirely dead. Mum's in hospital and fell out of bed today She was leaning out - looking in the mirror trying to put her lipstick on - in anticipation of a visit from her 90 year old companion. So now they have to keep her longer.
