Powerflex, jogging to warm up, ball games, etc. then 30 mins of great stretching, abdominal strengthening and balance exercises. 3 mins of relaxation to finish up.

The course I did was 5.3km straight line, but I missed one control. I took a friend from work who got a bit lost, and I ran her course backwards in a futile attempt to meet her after finishing my course. Fortunately she had her phone; when I called her, she wasn't sure where she was ( she was actually off the map). I ended up jogging an additional 2 km again trying to meet her. She walked back herself, which was a good outcome, and told me she had had a nice time, photographing flowers etc. So Krissy had an adventure today, and then I had one while driving her home. The car was getting progressively harder to change gear as we drove to orienteering, and it got worse on the way home. Couldn't get it into any gear and got stuck at an intersection. Krissy (who has a broken shoulder and can only use her left hand) had to steer the car ( no power steering) while I pushed it around the corner. Waited over an hour for the tow truck. Very glad I have racv membership - free towing to the depot and a free taxi ride home.

Friday evening, after work. Ran up and down the creek, just a small jog, but that was all we could manage.

Cardio session tonight; it was very cold and I just didn't feel like going. Mick had us doing lots of jogging. Not many of us there and energy levels were quite low. Glad that I went , because otherwise I would have blobbed on the couch for that hour. The distance was guessed.

Got up early and went to the tone up session at 6:15am. I had a routine medical appointment at 9, so it was a good opportunity. Lots of. Upper limb and abdo work. Felt good at work all day; exercise before work is good that way.
