Walk around Reef Hills. I haven't been here for ages and really enjoyed being out in the bush again. Although I just walked, my knee did not hurt at all and is definitely getting stronger - helped, of course, by not jarring it or doing anything adverse in recent times. I am hoping to start running in 2 weeks.

Enjoyable swim in the Benalla pool with the company of one other patron.

Street-O at Valley Reserve. I was walking a bit better although there was still some pain on the downhills and l was passed by people who shouldn't have. The area was hilly so lots of runners were walking up the hills as well. It was a nice area for a picnic afterwards, although there were a number of uninvited guests. 'Thank God for the Aeroguard'!

I went to Geoff's scout street-O as it was close by in Blackburn. Geoff used only the creeklands and streets but managed to set a nice course and I even found some places l haven't visited before. Unfortunately a number of controls were misplaced - one significantly. But it was a nice walk.

Swim in the Benalla pool, followed by various experiments with flippers etc to see if I could find an exercise that suits my knee, as breaststroke is not all that good for it.

It is very smoky here today as there is a large fire not too far away at Boho. It is travelling up a valley and doesn't have very far to go before it gets into the Strathbogies. It will then be almost impossible to put out. I think the weather is expected to be fairly benign this week so that should help.

Boho South is one of my favourite bush running areas.
