Mona at lunch. Around BMP - very damp and drizzly, which made it quite fun. Not bad, legs a bit heavy. Found I was able to keep the ons at around 3:25s ok, but the floats were getting slower. Bumped into Marty and Sam coming the other way towards the end.

Early run on Black Mt. Nice damp foggy morning so very much enjoyed plodding around the trails. Legs a bit beat up but kept going alright. Achilles seemed unscathed.
6x3mins (1min jog) into 10x15secs (15sec rest) around Lake T. Had a fairly big day celebrating Australia Day with the traditional BBQ/pool party, so was feeling quite full of meat/sleepy going into this. Ended up going ok though. Tried some new Reeboks out that Grant had recommended - felt pretty soft and comfy. Achilles ached a bit, but it was 16km solid on tarmac so quelle surprise.

Late run around the XC track. It was very still and quiet, and a nice surface for running on so I just kept doing laps rather than head off onto the fire trails. Warm night - still over 30 - but good to avoid the sun. Lots of bugs.
