treking - visit to ikea. looking for a shelf thing to go in the gimp cage, and some draw things for my cupboard. came rather close to an ikea induced tantrum (Dan), but had a win in the end and went home with a car load of versatile solutions to modern living.

run at stockyard creek with Wendy, Rachel, Katelyn and Merideth before the womens coaching day. had a bit of a mix up and lost Wendy for a while. got hungry, so left her in the forest.
yummy breakfast at the rochedale deli cafe (usual haunt post daisy hill mtb rides), but ate far too much given that we were running again soon!

sent out my group on their map memory exercise, then went for a run around wendy's corridor exercise. bit of a nana, but got going eventually. some tricky bits on the vague ridges where there wasn't anything in the corridor to work with.
saw evidence of a platypus.

run around at brightview with Emily checking control sites for next week's event. lots of grass, but hardly any grass seeds... yet. speargrass looks like its going to get nasty soon.

First proper round for this year (a bit late I know). ran with Dan, Clive and Mat (waited a little while for Mark, but no show) not the most pleasant of runs. it hurt lots, and the creek crossing near the start was full of deep festering mud, which added some lingering stink. only upside was to know that I'm in the 'slow' range, despite months of non-training. lucky easter is late this year.
also good to know that Dan can't magically run faster than everyone else in the universe.

C • No show 1

Night run from Bardon. Had a selection of the usual crew, including Dan, and Connie joined us for the first time - training for xterra. Despite not having run for a while Connie turned out to be pretty fit, and held on till nearly the top of the climb. We did the long loop this time, for the first time in ages, and the run back down the hill turned into a race between me and Dan - particularly the last part down from simpsons falls. how both of us made it down the hill was some kind of miracle cos we were both going way too fast.
