Renmark's red dust was washed off my O shoes by 3 terrain laps of Blackwood Forest, plus warmup/down, on a lovely rainy (!) morning. Fallen logs were a bit slippery and I was very cautious in deference to knees & hamstring, which held up ok - and will hopefully have benefited from a Killer Massage afterwards.

Hungry this morning. So too was the dog, who upon my return demonstrated his inheritance of skills from his ancestors who had herded cattle over the Welsh hills, by shepherding me towards the pantry where his breakfast is kept!

C • very cute! 9

Left work late :( so by the time I got to the event, Sarah & Simon & Bridget had set everything up already! Decided to run around the short course since I hadn't done that when setting, and it was quite fun, plus I was able to focus on running harder because I already knew where I was going. Legs actually didn't hurt, but I can tell that I've developed a horribly hunchbacked shuffling style, as evidenced by the photo of Quasimodo crossing the uni footbridge last week.

Trainline-steps loop with Zara, at casual chatting pace. I'm sure this run used to take well under an hour, and I can't blame just the dilapidation of the stair descent from the old national park station. Mind you, I didn't realise just how tired I was with the new job this week until I slept through my alarm today (not having an 8am ward round on Thurs for the first time in 15 months) and woke up at 8:30 - oops. Made it to work by 9:10 and not too many people saw me sneak in nearly half an hour late...how embarrassment!

Can't believe how much less worse my legs feel after getting rid of the on call phone.

The group went up to Pretty Corner and dropped down into 3rd Falls from above, admiring the views we don't usually get to see from the opposite direction. Because it was such a nice evening I continued around to & down from Deep View, and by the end hamstring had a fairly strong opinion, but knees were better than on Sunday.

For some reason the decision was made today to do the Bandicoot Trail loop backwards - go figure. Anyway, Tyson & I cut it short before Mylor, partly because my neuroma was being an absolute bastard (that right leg's persistent problems are clearly all neurally interconnected; no idea how I'm going to manage 10km @Bendigo in 2 weeks' time?) The company/conversation was all right though :)
