Cockies Sunday run from Hackett with Frogga, Robw, Acejase, Devil, Fat Rat, Sebba, Kelly, Candyman with running pram, and Phoebe. Started on the flat around Ainslie but went past the concrete path to the quarry then zig zagged up the SE face (while I took a less zig zag route) to the top of Ainslie. Down to the saddle where we waved goodbye to Seb and Fat Rat (good to see him back running). Over HH where I was determined not to get dropped and only lost it in the last 10metres. The others took the GMFT and zig zag track to the top of Majura while I went directly to the saddle then along the main fire trail to the top. Back down to the saddle then right and back to the finish on the usual route.

I had been feeling a bit tired running the last week but felt not bad at the end - still felt tired but in a good way.

Breakfast at Sfoglia where we were joined by Jose. Devil looked a bit anxious when his bacon and egg roll didn't come - according to the waitress it did come and was sent back - silly us not realising that the bacon and eggs on half a toasted foccacia 'was' the b&e roll but she soon explained that they were the same thing.

Putting out tapes and flags for a couple of training exercises on MtAinslie and lower Hackett Hill for the Blue Lightning training camp.

Coaching some of the BL kids around the training courses. Included a Labyrinth interval in the middle. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. Followed by a bit of a picnic lunch and some Norwegian Cricket in the park.

Putting out tapes and SI units at ANU for some sprint training for the BL camp. Help from Olle and Greg made it much quicker. Then running around on the C loop with Zoe and picking up the tapes and units on the B loop at the end while running the course.

Run around Spence

RPM at CISAC

Run home from the gym - the torrential rain had stopped so it was ok. I took a circuitous route to avoid the dark bits

Lunchtime run from the ABShouse up along Coulter Drive but running on the wide grass verge, then up to the top of Mt Painter and then back along the Cook/Macquarie bike path, but again on the grass between the trees. Avoided any rain but it was a bit breezy up on top of the hill.

A very quick run around Spence in the dark so had to be a bit careful on the northern edge - I must remember to take my light in future now that the dark months are upon us.

Spent the night in Glen Innes so I did my 'usual' route up the hill then down to the show ground and back on the main road. I was 4 min quicker than last time but this time it was light and I knew where I was going
