Can't do the Taupo supermarket trip without the now traditional Huka walkway run. Again forgot my stopwatch so time guestimated by time I was out there minus a fair allowance for stoppage time. As I'd had an unintended day off yesterday (weird stomach cramps that came from nowhere just when I started getting out my running gear) decided I had to go a bit further than previous jaunts here - maybe not the best decision as the weather was still pretty sweltery and I was prob already a bit dehyd. But pushed through the usual comeback sore thighs and got a good steady pace going and finally made it up the big zig zag climb I've previously turned round at the bottom of. Very hard work so didn't get much further, turning opposite the prawn farm/Wairakei outflow area. Return trip was a bit more painful, and prob only got through the last km or so without dropping to a shuffle because I was caught by this other guy who turned out to be a good pacer for me.

The hot spring was running very hot today. Lovely.

Finally over the CBF issues I've been having over the last few weeks. Quick evening jaunt on and off Tutu Road to the highway and back, making sure the legs still remember what to do. Once over the shock they seemed to still pretty much have the idea. Also pleasing that the running shoes don't aggravate the mystery sore on my toe that I'd been using as one of the excuses to not get out there.

Now chowing down on cake and ice cream. Because I can.
