Next stop Latvia! Fun fact is that my visits to Latvia are in an arithmetic progression with a 10 year step (1998 world schools, 2008 Europeans, 2018 WOC). Interestingly the same is true for my Estonian visits, but with an 11 year step. Not sure what’s going to cause me to visit both countries in 2028.
Florence’s 4th birthday party to prepare for and host (me going away meant it got brought forward which also unfortunately meant Grace’s birthday got kind of overshadowed), as well as all the packing etc so no time for a run.

Last day at work for a while :) Pretty manic day though - basically a week’s work in a day constrained to 8 hours in the office. But I did manage to nip out for some intervals on trails around Ainslie. Moved ok although the prep wasn’t ideal.

Usual Wednesday run to work with Sam and Adam. Good to catch up with them and chat away for the whole run. Still feeling a bit stiff but reasonable otherwise. Positively barmily warm for a Canberra winter morning.
10x90secs around BM peninsula. Trying to get some long overdue sharpness in the legs. Didn’t feel great. Won’t have to do this session for a while now fortunately - it’s not much fun if I’m honest.
