Long run out to Bold Park and back. A bit longer than planned because I took a wrong turn (been a long time since I've run there) and then hit some closed tracks which meant I had to go right back to the North end to get out.
Had thought I might try to do a bit of tempo at some stage but I felt a bit tired all the way so didn't bother.

Social tennis. Also had a little hit with Daniel, Helen and Laurens in the morning but that was even more social than the social tennis.

Spent about 15 minutes trying to loosen my back up before starting. Still felt a bit stiff early on but the run seemed to help as it was feeling much better by the end. Legs still feeling a little bit of residual soreness from racing on Sunday but overall the effort seemed a bit easier than recent weeks for a slightly faster pace. Increase in pace was mostly due to overtaking a few other runners in the last couple of km. Kind of feel on the verge of either breaking down or stepping up to a higher level.

Back tightened up a bit doing deadlifts at the end.

Steady run around KP working the ups more than the downs. Legs feeling a bit stiff and guts not great, probably because of all the Kazakh chocolate I ate at work this afternoon. Very sweaty when I finished.

Easy bread run. Feeling better than expected after two nights in a row of less than 3 hours sleep.

Pennants vs Mt Lawley. I was hopeless apart from a few points here and there. Lost doubles with Gunesh 1-6, lost singles 1-6 against a guy I beat 6-4 last time. Redeemed myself slightly with a couple of decent points at the end of the doubles with Dion which we won 12-10 in the tiebreaker.
