Plan B after we slept in too much for plan A. With M from Purau Saddle up the track to attempt to find the linking track over to Mt Fitzgerald but we only had an old rogaine map from little river which didn't show what we needed it to show and the mist was so thick we couldn't see very far ahead so after bashing along a fenceline for a bit we turned around and were going to head up Mt Herbert but it really was ridiculously thick mist so we just headed back down. Disaster :-(

Plan C! Because M is awesome he dropped me off at the far end by Coppers Knob and I ran back via the tops and round about then down Huntsbury where he met me at the top of the road. Much more successful! The run was good but I am just not feeling right. This whole week feels like a disaster.

After running round like crazy cheering all our Godzone favourites I ran back over the headland to meet M. Felt pretty good. Wasn't nearly long enough!

Had the morning off before graduation and all that so went for a ride up Huntsbury, along the road then down to Governers Bay and along the walkway there Back the same way. Was good.

After kind of being caged in for the last few days I could finally get out for a run. Yay! But everything was closed and I wasn't feeling like checking out mudslides and all that so with limited time I just headed up Huntsbury as far as the power pylon and back again. It smells funny and is all dusty down by the river. My nose and throat were not thrilled about that. But my legs felt really good (apart from running downhill which they really didn't enjoy).

Yeah, 8am and it's knee deep at the end of the driveway. I suspect I won't be going anywhere in a hurry. We needed kayaks...could have gone for a rather interesting paddle.

After a rather epic ride home in the storm it became rather clear that perhaps going for a run was not such a good idea so just did some stuff inside. M braved the storm to get vital supplies and informed me the river has burst its banks on one side of us and I suspect it will on the other side too by the morning. Could require a bit of wading to get to work tomorrow!

C • One can't go without custar... 2

I had book group and sunstroke or something from yesterday and there was a storm brewing.
