Another pitiful attempt at a run. Actually, I didn't really make much of an attempt to run at all. Set out saying I was going to walk to the shops to buy cheezels and that is pretty much what I did, except that the Glen Forrest IGA apparently doesn't sell cheezels at all. Unbelievable! Had to resort to cheese twisties instead, plus an apricot danish and a choc chill.
Left heel a little sore, left hip a bit tingly, zero enthusiasm.

Played a set of doubles with Liam against Rachel and Rob. First 4 games all went against serve, then Rob and Rachel both held while Liam lost his again to put us down 5-2. Liam was starting to lose the plot a bit by this stage, the way he does any time he starts losing, but he managed to compose himself enough for us to fight back and force a tie-breaker which we won 7-4.

I then got the green balls out and hit with Liam for a while with those whilst Rachel and Rob had a bit more of a hit with the yellow balls.

Tried to go for a bit of a run after tennis while Rachel headed to Mundaring to pick up some pizzas from Little Caesars. I wish I hadn't bothered really. Achilles not too bad but everything else felt awful. Ended up walking about as much as I ran and the running was not much faster than walking pace. Tired and very stiff around the left hip.

Short easy run in KP. Right achilles pretty good, left a little sore at times.

Jogged around the ovals trying to spy on Liam's tennis lesson but they spent most of the time standing around with Josh talking to them.

Time to start training for the Melbourne sprint weekend.
Easing into it, plenty of time to build up later.

Pennants vs Sorrento. Started poorly playing doubles with Luke and lost the first 1-4. Starting to get back into it and had just won the second 4-2 when the rain started. On and off a couple of times in losing the third and almost called it quits just before the rain stopped for good. Perhaps we should have gone home at that point because when we went back on for the second rotation Luke lost his singles 0-4 0-4 while Greg and I lost our doubles 0-4 0-4. I really didn't feel with it at all in that match, I think I had totally switched off mentally when I thought we were going to cancel. Played much better in my singles and quite enjoyed that but still went down 1-4 1-4. Greg and Luke lost the first 0-4, stole the second in a tie breaker then lost the third 1-4. Season over for us. Even with a win we would have been guaranteed the wooden spoon so a 0-6 thumping gives us a clear margin.
