Cyclones long run ... only by myself. I had planned to run with the group from Bridget's but discovered too late that Gap Creek Rd was closed and I would have missed the group had I gone back around the other way. There was nothing to be done but park at the Reserve car park and go by myself. Did a quick loop of Cockatoo Trail and headed up Quail Tr, Highwood Rd, up to Channel 9, a short break at the lookout, then down Honeyeater, Bielby Rd, Bellbird, and back to the carpark.

Glutes felt a bit weary from the squats the other day to begin but did okay up the mountain and only a walked for a few metres just before reaching the road at the top - my best effort on this route up, as sad as that is. Legs fatigued after a quick descent down Honeyeater and was happy to reach the car.

Still not all that long but longer than last week and I'm happy with that.

Did the old squatting routine. Felt very feeble.

Cycled to work for the first time in months. I usually do these rides around threshold pace or a bit below but took it a bit easier. Was surprised actually that I felt pretty good.

Ride home. The hills were hard and the sun was hot.
