Bridgewater run. 7 am meet time which was quite an achievement I thought after getting home after 1 am from a colleagues 50th. ( Was rather fun set in an old stone shed at Cherry Gardens with live music of Sth American feel.)
Did the Hahndorf Heysen spur trail to Ambulance rd and left there. Mist on the high sections was delightful.

Then straight on to watch Leiths soccer in Sth parklands, spending some time looking for coffee on Unley rd on route.

Busy day washing and packing. It's always a big task packing for hiking. Still more to do.

C • Great effort to arrive at 7am! 2

Oh dear. Very rusty. Lots of trouble reading detail and incapable of reading on the run or even walk. Forgot what number I was heading for and missed a control - I don't think I've done that before! Which also meant I stuffed that leg up, and a few others. Given my poor result it is perhaps surprising I enjoyed myself as much as I did. Ran some sections quite hard too.

Ran to Pole rd house and back to meet handyman to discuss various works needing doing. Was quite hot on the return trip and Callum and I ran very slowly! Same time both directions. Legs tired today.

Belair run up to the redwoods. Bush looked sparkly clean in the evening sun.

Run up to upper Sturt to end of hilltop drive and back. Includes some walking about in bush checking sites. Feet sore after new work shoes gave me blisters yesterday. Still some drizzle about.

First thing I noticed after Leith brought me my cup of tea in bed was that it was raining! How glorious! Eventually hauled myself up and went out in the warm rain with Callum. We went up to Karka then back. By the time I got back to Upper Sturt rd it was like running next to a river. Sad to be chained to my desk and at meetings all day and miss watching the rain.

Can't believe this time next week I will be in NZ!

Have been neglecting yoga and it shows!

Before work. So stiff and tight I strained my shoulder doing this.
