Again from Clifton Hill - something which used to be a reasonably regular occurrence when I was getting needles stuck into my calves every second Thursday but not something which has been common of late. Headed initially along the Yarra and then Gardiners Creek as far as Burke Road, heading back through the suburbs, involving a few more major routes than I'd planned on once it became apparent that my originally intended route was going to be 2.15-plus.

Again not a great run, again struggling whenever I needed to lift the intensity. Will be interesting to see how it goes next week when I won't be coming off a Wednesday night race. A bit of a left calf twinge appeared at about 45 minutes and was intermittently troublesome, but went away in the last 30 minutes. Tiredness was also an issue later on the day; my intermittent 2pm Thursday flat spot was a 5pm flat spot today, which I tried to push through but shouldn't have; I realised afterwards that I'd made a mistake and everything I'd done in the following hour was going to need to be redone tomorrow morning anyway.

Saw Kirsten walking the dog towards the end, and also saw why we haven't seen much of her this season (evidently I missed a Significant Announcement while I was away).
