Long run with the Hoggster. We figured most Cockies would be doing Teams event and family circumstances meant that event was going to a bit hard for us so something different a long run from home. Through Cork forest over the forest formerly known as Greenhills but now, after last nights rain, mud hills. Felt like we were running in snow shoes at times as the mud caked up on the shoes. Had a few fence crossings and I think my fence crossing ability is getting worse, if that was possible. Ran over peaks of Dairy Farmers Hill and Aranda Hill - hardly Ainslie & Majura but effort was required. Cleaned my HR monitor yesterday so it was back working ok. HR a bit high so have to watch for sickness.

life got in the road.

Lunch time came and my levels of cbf were even higher than yesterday after another night of poor sleep. But then it dawned on me that I would feel better after a run and that seemed to be all the inspiration I needed. Ran past RobWs onto lake edge and did the two bridges. Wanted to come back through past Civic pool and did but only after major detour round construction of Floriade. Felt good in the legs but sleepy in the mind. Also either I'm about to get really sick or my HR monitor is on the blink and needs a good clean. I suspect the latter.

commuting. first time in ages felt like full winter riding gear was too hot. spring is on its way.

Bought my gear in to run at lunch time and in the morning with the sunshine i was really looking fwd to it. By lunchtime the weather wasnt as good and I'd had a real attack of the cbf's so I went to the Canberra Centre and ate a large box of chips instead. inspirational stuff from me.

A couple of sleepless nights at our household meant that we'd both had it a bit so I took the morning off and took A&Z for a run. I felt crap really but it was great to be out in the warming sun. Again tried to do the Weetang blob and this time ended up running through the back paths of Macquarie to Jammo. Coffee & dotty cookie at Coffee Guru while A&Z kept sleeping. Nice.

Run into work. Didnt see anyone I knew. Well not till I got to work.

Commuting. Bizarre on the way home. Decided I was buggered enough (see sleep record) to go soft way home via Bruce Ridge on bike path. Also I often tell myself I should go that way b/c its safer but rarely do. Anyway karma struck b/c first I cross paths with JLA also riding home, then Miss Jones who was on a run and finally the "other" twin couple of Aranda (approx. 8 weeks younger than A&Z) walking their boys.
