A good day at TimberTops. Enjoyed my run and declared to Fish at the end I had my o-mojo back. Then looked at the results and got depressed - my mojo's not what it used to be! Ran straight and tried to keep up the pace. Only a few wobbles and they were just really hesitations approaching controls. My course had 10 controls - 9 of which were termite mounds! Ran two short vague legs really well on compass which is not normally a strength of mine. i think doing some compass training with JLA earlier this year reminded me of a few compass-technique tips. Only drawback was twisted my ankle a bit and it hurt in same spot as ankle break from few years ago, although obv nowhere near as bad. Bit swollen afters so might skip blob tomorrow.

Coffee in Bungendore afterwards which was a ripper. Beauty presentation of coffee, tasted ok and the devonshire scones were fantastic. Also first time Belinda and I were able to sit at coffee shop with A&Z while they sat nicely looking round. Sweet.

mostly warm up but with a bit of warm down.

Crackenback and Aranda Hill surge with Hoggster and Fish(!). Was hopeful Fish had lost enough and I was fit enough that I'd give him a run for his money on the hills. Nup. Fish surged away from me on the first hill and that was it. He didnt gain too much more on me after that but probably did get some more. I felt ok but nothing special. Good to see Fish and have a yarn.
Crackenback: 11.13 (162/171)
Aranda Hill: 4.22 (162/170)
I think those times are pretty OK for me so any plans of rolling Fish will have to be shelved for another few years.

Had a day off and as can be the way put the run off, and off, and off till there was almost no time so could only squeeze in 30mins.

Just got back from the airport from picking up Fish with the Hoggster. great man is back in Canberra for a week or two. Running with the now bearded one in the morning for full assessment of his fitness.

Cockys intervals at Reconcilliation Place. My turn to organise so did 'Oranges & Lemons' for something different and to assist handicapping. worked quite well although Miss Jones showed a clean pair of heels indicating her hamstring woes are behind her. I was a bit flat after staying up for tour and then up for feeding duties at 5.10am. Coffee afters with Mace & Andy at ANI. Not too bad although Mace got jibbed on her sourdough toast.

trot warm up and down. Forgot to mention who showed up - heffer, hoggster, mace, julia minty, miss jones. also was absoloutley freezing but looking across iced over grass to lake, high court, old parli house and misty sun rise was pretty speccy.

half a commute. pulled out the big super-winter cycling jacket. dunno why i didnt get it out earlier. it is superb.

ran home with the Hoggster. light enough that we didnt need lamps. hooray.

commuting. cbf going for a run. its too cold. and dark.

commuting. plenty of water on the road in the morning which soon transferred to my back & ar$.

Cook blob with Stace, Nat, Abby & Zoe. Z not too happy with going out on run - cold? tired? hungry? who knows - we just kept running. Oh except when going up steep hill when I was nearly walking.
