Crazy crazy exhausting draining weekend, which any semblance of a rough schedule was ripped up and thrown out the window as quickly as it was made. Finally slipped away in the late afternoon for a quick jaunt from Jen's place down the Okere falls walkway & back on the road. Quite short so should have done 2 or more laps but lack of a week's quality sleep attacked me on the road climb out of the track end. Hangover I should have had all day finally caught up with me just after the run.

Was going to shoot over to the Ham OC event on sunday but priorities changed - would have been a bit of a wreck even if I had made it. Must now behave myself until easter!

Promising to do a longer run relatively comfortably, especially as was feeling a bit hammered from yesterday to start with. Up to airstrip by a moderately circuitous route in 19.5 mins, and no walking on the runway this time, so that's when I started to realise I was actually feeling pretty good. Had a good explore down a new route which made things a bit stop-start, linking up gates etc, and made a couple of side trips to help build up the time. Lots of sharp little (and sometimes not so little) climbs and plenty of contouring too!

Probably has to be a day off tomorrow, but should find somewhere for a nice run round vegas on Sat, then maybe some actual orienteering!

5 mins before and after cutting loose, at a more sensible pace

Trying to get back in the habit. Intended a longer terrain run, but our fairly late finish at work today was made an hour later by being locked in at Te Hape someway from the nearest phone, so running out of time, energy and daylight. So instead went out to check the mail. The legs seemed to want a bit of a speed workout so I let them have it. May regret that tomorrow even after staying off the road as much as possible, but I think I really needed that!

Exhausted! Like coming back from a weekend of racing only with even less sleep. May go for a run later but it's looking like a fool's bet right now.
