Finally some free time ( and in daylight) so I decided a longer run was in order. 'Hitched up' both dogs and left the mess, dust and chaos of renovations behind. We headed into Belair, past the over flowing railway dam on a very slippery track, up Saddle hill ( found my missing favourite ear wrap hanging on a tree yay - thank you unknown kind stranger), up Sheoak rd to Crafers, back down Charlick and Emmet rd to Tilleys hill rd to Brownhill creek. What a long downhill! Hips are still sore. Was running in fine misty rain up Pony ridge track when I received a text from JC saying 'hope you're not getting too wet' . 2 minutes later along came a downpour . Actually wasn't that cold though. Back through park to home. Was good to do something longer.

C • Good work! 1

While watching Ls soccer match. Felt good to stretch hips and calves.

Leiths soccer practice cancelled due to pitch conditions so window for run or swim gone. Not feeling well prepared for next Rogaine!

No spare time with getting organised for bathroom renovations, work and after work trip to Ikea ( twice in 3 days).

While Leith was warming up before their match Callum and I ran from soccer grounds to Victoria park to join the throngs of walkers, joggers and pedal prix participants on a sunny winter morning. Did pyramid intervals and enjoyed it more than I expected.

Back 10 minutes into match and didn't miss any goals today, phew!

With Bear this time, once we came home from soccer.
Up valley to the steep Kaloola track as I'm trying to keep up hill practice ( managed 12-14 min km pace up here!) then back down the single track to home.

Stood in the cold pool after that to aid recovery. Leith joined me but was unimpressed!

Busy afternoon / evening doing yard jobs and moving furniture ready for ensuite demolition.

Spent the day organising ensuite renovation, visiting various showrooms and taking Leith to soccer. Managed to miss his first ever bicycle kick goal while I was looking at vanities down the road. Not sure I will be forgiven for that!

With Lauren (who had already done an hours swimming) and Bear up QJD down to redwoods then up and over to back via Melville house track and valley. Very pleasant although my knees have been sore since, I think my shoes are due for a change.
Can't work out why this run is only a km less than last Saturday's run to Crafers west .

Loop with Jenny staying west of railway. Really foggy night, could only see a short distance ahead.
