MelBushO atTikalara Park, a place l haven't been before aside from jogging the Mullum Creek trail. It was quite interesting although muddy and boggy. Despite several warnings prior to start, l wore new shoes and they proved quite successful in these conditions. I made a couple of silly mistakes, including missing a control and having to backtrack. I seem to be making a habit of this lately. On the positive side, my back felt much better today, helped by lots of stretching last night.

Street O at Hays Paddock. Back was very sore, along with sore glutes and hammies, so walked most of it. This was probably due to the 12 hours of sitting l did yesterday, writing a last minute WOVG submission to a parliamentary inquiry. Went to the Bayside AGM afterwards

Putting out controls and collecting controls afterwards.

Run around Blackburn. It was pretty windy but at least the sun was out. I struggled again and, although my back feels a little better, it was still tight. Stretching seems to help.
I have a couple of full days and a couple of half days work this week. The half days are good because l can run in the mornings.

Run around Blackburn. I struggled a bit with aches all over, but am still subscribing to the theory that something is better than nothing. The upside to not working full time is that you have more time to shop. I got my shoes for the WRC yesterday - Columbia trail running boots. Hopefully OK. I don't want to wear ankle braces. The downside is less money.
