Running 23:09 [3] 4.0 km (5:47 / km)
ahr:143 max:162 shoes: Nike Air Zoom Elite
Ran mid arvo in the pouring rain from Mum and Dads down to Wilanda Park aths track, cut a lap (sub 45s probably), and then ran back before catching flight home.

Running 25:15 [3] 4.0 km (6:19 / km)
ahr:134 max:154 shoes: Nike Air Zoom Elite
Ducked out before anniversary lunch, with evil looks from fellow carers following behind me after Zoe "slept in" till 530am. At least the trend is upward.
After lunch went to Dogs v Pies. Wierd game of keepings off footy - way more than usual. However getting final goal with a minute to go to "steal" 3rd from the Pies made it all worthwhile. My old man didnt even care that he got a parking ticket while we were at the game!

was hoping to run today and starting to get frustrated that I cant. 4am get up from Zoe this time and as a consequence fellow carers werent that keen on me nicking out. Also a fairly busy day as we flew to Melb for my parents 40th wedding anniversary get-together.

Was going to run in the morning but Zoe got up at 330am and didnt go back to sleep. SOme might argue that gave me plenty of time to run but by the time 6am came round I was too tired to run anywhere.

Terrain Running 42:03 [3] 7.0 km (6:00 / km)
ahr:128 max:150 shoes: Brooks Cascadia 4 (Tractors)
Gentle morning terrain run through Black Mtn reserve bush. Starting to think the "regular" wednesday morning run with hoggster is becoming less regular.
Cycling 1:20:00 [3]
Work ride. I wont entertain the reader with my usual witty observations of the weather. OK cant help myself - it was cold.

Cycling 1:20:00 [3]
Radio Weatherman said it was 12 degrees so i dressed for the conditions. And froze to death! He obviously skimmed over the wind chill factor. Ride home was at a reasonable clip.

Running 1:41:40 [3] 20.0 km (5:05 / km)
ahr:142 max:169 shoes: Saucony Triumph 5
Long run from home with Patrick. Gossan Hill, Bruce Ridge, up Black Mtn, Circumcision track, Little Black Mtn and finished with an ascent of Aranda Hill. Reasonable clip without any Miss Jones like surges. Fancy new tap at the top of Black Mtn was very impressive although prob cost $75,000 to design and build.

Running race 20:06 [5] 5.0 km (4:01 / km)
ahr:171 max:181 shoes: Nike Air Zoom Elite 4
XC Race at Mt Majura. 5k out and back course, kinda undulating. Ran much better than last week setting out at a resonable pace and maintaining it pretty well. Slightly slower on the way back but it was into the wind. Managed to beat Patrick which havent done for a little while.
out: 9.59
back: 10.07
Hoggsters mate/former honours student who only runs "once a week" won the race in the abscence of Bazorak and a few guns. He ran 17.30 I think so that probably counts as a victory for him over Hoggster, even though Andy wasnt there.

Running warm up/down 20:00 [3] 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: Nike Air Zoom Elite 4
Semi decent warm up and jog down with Patrick, Devil, Sandra and the once-a-week-runner (and race winner). The OAWR asked me a few training tips at the end - I reckon I should be getting his!

Running 31:20 [3] 6.0 km (5:13 / km)
ahr:133 max:148 shoes: Saucony Triumph 5
A morning lap or Randy. Bit sleepy but great to be able to get out before dady-day-care started. Hoggster also on Daddy-day-care today so a late arvo coffee is planned.

Terrain Running 52:04 [3] 10.0 km (5:12 / km)
ahr:121 max:159 shoes: Brooks Cascadia 4 (Tractors)
Usual Wednesday morning run with the Hoggster except for the fact that the Hoggster wasnt there. His man-calf getting the better of him. Decided it was time to start thinking about Oz Champs carnival so did some terrain running through Black Mtn. Bumped into Jules and ran with him for 200m or so at his easy run face/my interval pace. Felt a bit sleepy but nice to run in the terrain.
Cycling 1:20:00 [3]
To work and back. Bit cbf but plugged along. Big head wind on the way home.

Ride to Wodes and back for work. Thought about parading smellily through the offices of those who voted against the shower but figured it wouldnt help any future vote.

Running long 1:31:39 [3] 18.0 km (5:06 / km)
ahr:144 max:168 shoes: Saucony Triumph 5
Cockies long run with small but "elite" group (according to Grant) of GrantM, Devil, Sanders and myself. Decisive start from Grant in the abscence of Miss Jones or Hoggster up Majura. Then some single tracks through pines, HH and then some mucking round on tracks above car park to make it up to 90. Ripper Deli marko afters with bagel and coffee which included analysis of which town was bigger - Cootamundra or Junee. Felt tireder than should for such a run which I guess is a good thing.

Running race 16:24 [5] 4.1 km (4:00 / km)
ahr:169 max:179 shoes: Nike Air Zoom Elite 4
Abysmal XC race at Dunrossil Drive but it had to be done. Felt awful for the first k, ntb for the second, awful for the 3rd and awful + gut problems for the last. Still as I said it had to be done and I'm sure getting me back on track. High HR certainly reflecting effort that was required.
Running warm up/down 15:00 [3] 3.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Nike Air Zoom Elite 4
Warms ups and downs. Definitely couldve done with more warm up.
Friday Aug 14, 2009 #
Running 26:14 [3] 4.0 km (6:34 / km)
ahr:132 max:151 shoes: Saucony Triumph 5
Finally got out going after dark through the streets of aranda to Jammo, purchasing cookie-cream-commotion ice cream and then running home.

OK ready to run again but no time!

Bloody disaster - the body corporate at work voted against my shower!!!!! Arrgggh. My naive boss led me to believe it was a fait accompli but when she showed up the others weren't that keen to shell out $7K on a shower for one bloke. Bugger! Still, as my boss feels guilty now, she has got on the campaign trail and dropped a letter in to all other tennants seeing if there are others who would use said-shower. So still a chance but bloody annoyed.

Cant take a trick. Man-cold almost mended but last night had the hot/colds and wanted to have a spew. Might've just been the Indian takeaway last night but nonetheless still hordinary this morning and home from work.

No chance as another day in Sydney with Zoe and her hip-doctor. News was mixed with it improving but not fast enough. As a consequence its likely she'll have to have an op when she's about 3. But once thats done it should be all better/fixed. Zoe is still wearing a fairly restrictive brace in bed and the Dr advised us to stop using it "when she starts hitting us on the head with it.". Should be fun - apparantley that should happen in the next few months.

Running 41:19 [3] 7.0 km (5:54 / km)
ahr:138 max:157 shoes: Saucony Triumph 5
Usual morning run with Hoggster. Woke up feeling fairly average on the man-cold front but figured I should go and meet anyway. Crawled my way round with a little bit of coughting and spluttering.

Twin Pram Running 35:11 [3] 5.0 km (7:02 / km)
ahr:124 max:152 shoes: Saucony Triumph 5
Mid morning run through aranda, down path to bike path and then back up bike path, over Col to Jammo where we met Pippa for a play and coffee. Plenty of stops for magpies, galahs and the horse paddock. Highlight was the old lady who stopped us to chat and managed to tell us how she was just out of hospital and apologise for not having her teeth in. Actually that reminds me must get Canberra Times tomorrow to make sure she's not listed as missing!

Running 1:25:33 [3] 17.0 km (5:02 / km)
ahr:154 max:175 shoes: Nike Air Zoom Elite
Shocking night at twin central with bugger all sleep and Zoe getting sick. Nearly didnt go as was bedlam at home but Belinda convinced me so trundled over with the Hoggster. Mist never lifted for the whole run so it was freezing. I felt pretty bad thanks to slight man-cold and aforementioned home life and HR was definitely banging along higher than it would normally. None-the-less trailed along with GrantM, Hoggie, MissJ and Jules who made a surprise appearance. I cut off a little bit towards the end after we had done Ainslie then al the way down to Campbelll Pk Offices, round the XC course and then I went back to cars while others did a bit further. Coffee & Bagel at Deli Marx was good although I was cold not having bought enough clothes. Big turn out for coffee also with pheobes, jose coming after their run and JLA, ALJ and Pippa all having done walks and turned up too.

MTB 57:42 [3]
ahr:107 max:136
Girls went to Grandparents so as soon as they were out of sight Belinda and I went MTBing on Bruce Ridge. Clear, cool day. Tracks have got a bit more technical since I last went there. Was happy with my bike fitness but technique was poor, as to be expected really. Enjoyable ride.
