mtb ride at Daisy with Dan, Steve, Kathy and Luke. nice morning and heaps of new/upgraded trails since last time I was there. I rode the single speed this morning and it was super fun. it seems I've even (mostly) remembered how to ride. spent a fair bit of time riding behind Dan which was good for making me ride faster, although following his lines meant I ended up taking some A lines that I really wouldn't have committed to given the option... but I survived, so all good.

Sprint o intervals at UQ, set by Su Yan. with the junior squad. good little courses and some tricky route choices. good session before next weekend.

run with Clare and James (with James for the first 5 mins), from my place. goals for today were to have an easy run and find the trail that goes north from frosties and joins the ring road. took the trail that goes left from slaughter falls up to the ring road (brians), but then wasn't sure whether the other trail went from the first or second crossing. guessed the second and was wrong. ran up to the summit and down frosties and turned left onto the track. figured out then where it pops out, but clare managed to randomly take the fire road which turns right down towards the gardens instead of following me up to the ring road. and then completely ignored me when I yelled at her that she was going the wrong way. I waited a bit for her to turn around, but she clearly wasn't coming back... so I figured I'd see her at home. I then ran down the fire road and through the gardens home.
The new section of trail is really awesome and will make for some very nice new loops.
porridge for breakfast at my place before coffee at bean.

didn't feel awesome running, but not as bad as it could have been. body didn't seem to want to let me go past E2, so just cruised along. hopefully I haven't done too much - I need to improve a lot before next weekend.

not feeling properly better yet, but needed to do something. went for a plod around anzac park, with a stop at the chin up bar. felt ok, but pace was very slow. pretty tight in the hip flexors and itbs.

back at work, but still struggling, and still no bag.
