Training Log Archive: PrueD

It was raining during the morning and I really didn't feel like going all the way to the Woodlands event. Somehow the Melbourne bush Os don't inspire me very much - and perhaps I am subconsciously wanted t o protect the recovering knee a little longer (and it is definitely recovering, which is good). Anyway, I opted for a swim in the Nunawading pool instead. On a Sunday evening, the fast lane is slower than the slow lane at 6.00am. Of note is that my swimming is definitely getting faster :)

Despite the best of intentions to hold off running, and TT's wise words - I couldn't resist and ventured out to the orienteering training run at Tally-Ho this morning. I plodded around - dropping back to a walk frequently. Knee is OK and certainly better than it was - but I have to be careful not to overdo it.

Yesterday's conference with Mr 'Snoggins', a very entertaining British barrister who defended the police after the London bombings and the erroneous shooting of a citizen, was very interesting. He would only defend people who kept the correct evidence (i.e written notes) and apparently the prosecution in the London bombings case was out to nail the senior police commander (coincidentally called Christine) but she was well prepared and the attention went elsewhere. The parallels to our royal commission were remarkable - but with a dramatically different outcome for our Christine.

I was also reminded of my terrible log keeping on Black Saturday - he quoted the British police logs as containing:
7.30 - Got to work
7.40 - Report of bombing in the underground
8.10 - This might be worse than we thought.
23:00 - Went home later than usual.
My log was, unfortunately, remarkably similar.

Swim in the crowded Nunawading pool. My only news is that today l am attending a conference led by a British disaster expert whose name is remarkably close to 'Snog' - only one day after our website was again hacked - this time by Viagra!

Walk around Blackburn. My knee is a lot better,and my leg is starting to feel like one of a pair, rather than independent. I still think I'll take it easy for a while and aim for a full recovery

Walk around Blackburn after work.

I have been doing quite long hours at work lately and haven't had a lot of time for much else. The 'Command and control' rewrite has been finished, which is good. Our website at work (commissioner workplace) has been hacked into several times this week - nothing malicious, but enough to know it is vulnerable. I arrived to work yesterday to find a picture of a rogue firefighter on the screen! I yelled out 'we've been hacked' and the office staffed yelled back 'how do you know?'. The policeman who sits next to me advised that his police detective skills had been tuned to such a high level that even he too could see it had been hacked! (given the whole sceen was covered and signed 'Neo Hacker').
