4 trips to hospital, happy birthday to Ella, pump up pram tyres, washing dishes and clothes, blog update, get lights for bike commuting during week, watch 10mins of footy. No time for running even though in my mind I thought 90mins was a good idea. think there might be a few more days like this ahead. I dont really have any running goals post-mara at the moment. Just try to keep fitness up as much as possible while adjusting to different lifestyle and then set some goals.

ACT Middles at Honeysuckle. Went soft and ran M35 but at least that meant I enjoyed it. Made 1 cracker error although control placement and thickened up area had a lot to do with missing it. Luckily the rest of the old stooges in 35s made worse mistakes and I caught a norwegian guy about half way round which made racing more fun. Honeysuckle just about needs another fire!

jog to start with ALJ. I took course 1 description at start and AL course 2. Luckily I realised before moving to the next start box I was on course 2 and that allowed her to realise she was course 3!

ACT Sprint Champs. Ran hard and straight. Not straight enough on occasions losing a bit of time. Lost a little on the 1st and dont reckon I realised it was 1:5000 till about 1/3 into race. Main time loss was probably a minute on one control on the side of the hill. Classic thought process where I recognised it was tricky but didnt make the next step and read the map and terrain a bit more, just running hard in the general direction. A minute or so's relocating and circliing later and I had found it. Enjoyed the race and physically felt better than I thought I would 2 weeks after marathon.

Cockies training at ANU organised by RobW and ALJ. 5 loops of 1k or so. I did 3 at a kinda tempo-steady pace. Actually tried to use my compass in preperation for weekend when i will do Middle and Sprint Champs. Physically felt ok but a couple of times I tried to see if I had a little more than "steady" in the tank and it was clear I did not. Lots of construction added to the challenge.

Late of course. Little warm down and littler warm up. I think my Nike Spans may have turned into astroboys as well! argggh.

comuting. tried to crank it a bit on way to hospital.

Commuting via hospital on way home. Found good route choice through edge of bruce ridge to maternity area.

Ran into work. Going to have to do morning or possibly lunchtime exercise for a little while as Zoe-Abby time at hospital is straight after work. Felt pretty flat physically. Nice morning with plenty of balloons in the clear 2degree sky for Canberra balloon festival - classic Canberra morning.
