A swim with Ewan with a couple of laps. Nice day for it. I'd planned to do a run up Coot-tha later but ran out of time.

Long run from home; by myself as had to start later than the crew. The route was Honeyeater, lookout, Slaughter Falls, Simpson's Falls, down to the warm-up loop, back up to Simpson's Falls, Ch 9, back to Honeyeater and home. The section from Slaughter Falls to Goldmine was tough as it was quite warm and I didn't have any water. There's probably some at the Simpson's, I just haven't found it. The thirst triggered a very vivid daydream of chugging a beer.

I discovered the council has built a whopping great bridge and lookout over Simpson's Falls. Ruins the appeal, in my view.

My planned run this morning, a good threshold run, was interrupted but I managed to find a half hour this evening. Did a convoluted loop around Chapel Hill with three surges getting close to 5km pace.

Unplanned run from Gardens Point campus to Milton to catch a bus, which was late, of course, making running unnecessary. It was quite pleasant until the sticky work clothes afterwards.

The usual run home from work except that work on the Legacy Way tunnel meant a 1.5km detour. I felt good today and kept a nice steady pace and stayed strong on the hills through Anzac Park.

A couple of Aus champs maps:

I didn't wear my GPS for any others.

Morning ascent of Coot-tha via Frosty's. Legs were still tired from the hills on Sat, which was my intention - I need to punish the twiggy things more.
