Rest day. I actually feel better today than I expected. Calves have taken the brunt, particularly the left and left achilles; a bit of massage and another day off and they should be fine I reckon.

Cyclones long run with a good sized group today including unusual attendees Simon and Bridget, a couple of the junior girls, Jackie and Emily, and even old man Steve. The route was South Boundary, Gold Creek, Goanna, Bellbird, Bielby Rd, Honeyeater, lookout, Sir Samuel Griffiths, Highwood Rd Tr, and back down South Boundary. It was a great day for a run, the humidity was down, and we kept up a good old plod. Mostly ran with Clive, Mat, and Steve with Steve and I in the old-blokes sub-group off behind. I was pretty tired by Coot-tha lookout and it was a bit of a battle home from there. The pool after was beautiful and some bacon and eggs courtesy of Bridget's dad went down a treat. I never usually have maple syrup on bacon and eggs but today I couldn't get enough of it!

I took advantage of today's cooler, overcast weather to take a lunchtime run and do 4 x 4min with 3min slow floats. Pretty sure I mis-timed the second and only did 3 min. Felt alright, not super strong or fast but didn't die too badly, which I half expected given these are the first real intervals I've done in a while.

Easy run around Chapel Hill, trying to avoid too many hills. Picked up the pace a little for the flat 3km up and down Chapel Hill Rd.
