Checked out Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. No great bushwalking tracks, so we took a fire-trail up to Gibraltar Rocks which turned out to be a good run - nice scenery, very steep and great views at the top. Took a fire-trail from there over the back of the ridge.... and eventually found the track that took us to Devil's Gap. From there it was a quick descent into the valley and a nice run past emus and kangaroos to the car. that was enough for me, but Matt carried on a bit further to the visitors centre.

Ran with Matt to Bruce ridge via Gossan Hill. Then we split and I ran near Black Mt and over Aranda and Mt Painter. Saw an echidna on Bruce Ridge(!) and it rained on me for the last 30mins. Felt ok, and it was a bit different running in the morning (11.30am).

Old skool loop plus Aranda Ovals, in the evening with music.

Right knee: Saw doc regarding knee which I smashed on a rock in August 2006. MRI next week.
Left ankle: First noticed it was sore on the 11th Nov, don't know why, I defo didn't roll it or anything. Has been sore every day/run since. Painful for the first 30mins then it goes away.

Left work to go to orienteering but something was wrong with my car..... it would start but then die after 5 seconds and my suspicions were that it had run out of fuel but I couldn't be sure. Anyway, I had to leave it there and run to orienteering instead. I was running late and got there late and was in a boo. The plan was to give Matt the keys and let him sort the car out.

Black Mt. I was tired and didn't really feel like it.

Note: I did get my car working again, two hours and $350 later. But it could have been worse I suppose.....

ACTCCC, Curtin.
The first half was largely uphill - I ran this pretty well considering I'm shocking at hills. From the top Jo and I ran together, pacing off each other which was good. I felt great at the end and it was the least-painful hard run I'd ever done. Now I just need to work out how to run faster.

An evening run with Matt around and over Aranda and back past Mt Painter. I was expecting to get soaked but the rain stopped just as we set out :)
