The concrete path loop with Spottage who was over for brunch. Felt pretty good after getting almost 8 hours sleep last night - I couldnt stop talking. Suspect spottage wont want to run with me again! Finished getting bacon at the Jammo Butcher and then we came home to cook up bacon, eggs and coffee. sweet.

Pennington 12k at Weston Pk. 3 laps of 4k circuit which was fairly cross country - all on grass, couple of short sections of sand and several sections of hills. Went to race with new father Andy and saw Bazorak, Devil and Sanders there. Basically was going at half mara pace I suppose with a poor patch of training recently and certainly not much racing. Got dragged along by the masses first lap trying to not go to fast. Second lap tried to just be steady and save for final lap. Final lap lots of people round me finished only doing the 8k. I tried to push in and did so but couldnt catch guy in front of me but did pull away from person behind. Great to get out and do it.
Lap times:
16.44 (164/172)
17.25, 34.10 (169/176)
17.07, 51.17 (173/177)

Short warm up and slightly longer warm down with devil & sanders.

Jude came round and gave me a chop out so I did a lap of Aranda. Nice arvo. nice to get out.

got up to go to cokies training. gear on and into lounge room. been there 5s when my mum who was staying came out to say she'd been throwing up since 2am. hmmm better stay home.

Nicked off a bit early from work and ran at stromlo. Ran the MTB loop that goes up Stromlo in reverse and bailed out to the fire trails on final section due to rain, fog and dark. Shoes became snow shoes as they accumulated mud on fire trails. Great to get out.
ps - doubt that max HR is right

got into gear to run after girls asleep but Abby did her trolley so didnt get out. grrr.

Ride home from woden. continuing my search for a shower at work with knockbacks all round. best i've got so far is join the health club about 1km away from work for $15 a week. ridiculous.
