Was a good day out in the hills. Most of the time the effort was pretty easy but pushed harder going to 1672 and back plus running down the track and out. Feet held up pretty well, were taped over the blisters. Ate four muesli bars plus a couple of bits of chocolate.

Ran from the Vic Park area up Harry Ell and around behind the Kiwi. Took the lower track around the next hill before climbing back up to the Summit Rd. Back down via the old Dyers Rd.

Calves felt very heavy and sore, plus didn't have much energy. Blisters got sore towards the end though didn't seem to be any bigger or worse.

30 x Leg Raises each side

Decided against doing another hill session today, so went for a run from home on the flats.

Felt pretty good until I turned and had a couple of k's to home. Chose not to wear socks as thought that was sweet in the Free's but now have three blisters to show for that choice. Made the last bit a touch painful

Warm up 5min @ 125
40min @ 159
Warm down 5min @ 124

Run from Bowenvale Rd. All the tracks appeared to be streams so went straight up the main valley track and under dead pine then up to summit mtb track. Around the top and back down latter spur track and then a mix of others till getting onto east bush track? and back to the main valley at the ford.

Was blowing and raining the whole time which meant the OR Helium got a good first test and passed with flying colours.
