Cockies Boxing Day run from Devils place. Planned loop was over to near Aranda so with Rob I ran over to Devils to meet others and dropped off home when the loop came through Aranda. Cockies there were GrantM, MaryMac, Rob, Devil, Sanders and rare appearances from Sebba and MarkG. Bumped into Sophie and her mate while running so they joined us. Felt a bit weary at start which, unsurprisingly, got worse as run went along. Slightly humid and I seemed to be sweating bcukets. By the time went up side of Aranda Hill I was ready to finish so cursed my way to the top and peeled off home. Dunno how ROb kept going!

Added HR zones to my watch last night which was interesting and got them going on AP with some assistance from an AP boffin (NewPatrick). RUnning a bit above long run HR zone but expect to when going up BlackMtn and does that mean the zones I guesstimated are wrong or should I be running slower? Wont change how I'm doing things but interresting to see the variation. Speeds also a bit slower than I would've written down without Garmin although I like the "adjusted k rate" measure at top of entry which takes climb into account. ANyway click on the "globe" at the top of this entry and you'll see more details.

Merry Christmas Dear Reader!

Xmas Day & first run with Garmin. Looks like download worked too! :) Watch was great. Ran from home over to stile between Black Mtn & Bruce Ridge to meet Shep. We then ran down through Rani Rd, Cork Forest, Zoo & Aquarium (big fence there now!) and along the bike path to Hughes. But then again if watch download worked you'll be able to see this!

Had a good day and hope you all did too. Girls very excited to find santa had eaten biscuits and drunk water. Lovely presents and lovely day.

C • water? 2

Morning run with Andy & Rob. Fortunately the boys ran towards my place after 20mins of my alarm going off wasnt enough to wake me! (Belinda eventually did). Heard of Rob's latest shoe purchase from Wiggle - think they will issue him a shareholders certificate soon.

Final to and fro work for the year. Finished work at 3, had coffee with a colleague, deposited some takings and did some last minute shopping - primarily a new router and modem for home after the old one carked it. Cruised home with back pack full of router & modem.

Short evening half lap of Aranda. Achilles tightness/pain starting to pass.

Car service, work, pick girls up from Y, cook enough spag bol to feed Italian Army, no time for running. Also weight confirmed that last night I ate 900g of chocolate self saucing pudding. Actually it was probably 700g with 200g of cream.

Slow half lap of aranda. Bit hobbly, especially at start, with achilles sore and tight. Improved by end of half lap but planning to have an easier week this week - need it anyway and will take a couple of days to recover from TdM.

Looking at yesterdays results the guy who I was 30m behind before stuff up did 2hrs2mins50secs so seems like 2hrs3 would've/could've been my time.

Few sore spots - achilles and sides of hips. Turned nippy today so had to get out all the freshly washed winter gear.
