Really nice run with Al and Shannon in Namadgi. We started on Apollo Rd and ran up to Honeysuckle Ck camping, along the australian alps walking trail and up to Booroomba rocks, then continued on a loop back to apollo rd with a few detours to bushfolds flat, some of the way up to Mt Tennant and down the road a bit to make sure we got up to the 3 hours 15 min mark. As it was, we managed an extra few minutes! Obviously very tired by end but it was great and I think I felt better at the end than I had last week.

Spa and plunge pool at the AIS. Very nice.

Winter series XC at Stromlo Forest park. Felt really good and was able to push hard and was really pleased with my time. Not a PB, but better than I've run for a while so that was good, especially since it was pretty windy. It was really fun! It even felt a little bit warm in the sun!

Ints at Aranda ovals with Al (plus a 12 min warm up and 15 min warm down). 15 x 90" (30" jog). It was really tough! Used Jase's garmin to time the intervals which was great, and pace was pretty good - a couple of 3:59min/km ints (including the last one) up to 4:30 (possibly the ones with the small hill up to the 2nd oval or around the corners).

Ran home from work through Black Mtn and around the bottom of Aranda. Felt a bit tired but not too bad. Dark and cold as per usual!

Rode to work

Rode to and from work

Ran at lunch on Black mtn - did 3 x 10' (2' walk). First one was supposed to be a bit slower but I couldn't' help myself, (was running with someone at work at that stage so probably going a bit too hard!). Was pretty hilly (ran up under powerlines then 2 laps of little black mtn then back down hill). Was a tough session!

Recovery run around Aranda. Pretty slow!
