Spent all morning at the junior club champs tennis. Started with Liam and Amy playing orange ball doubles together at 8:30, which they won 4-0 4-1. Liam then had semi final of green ball singles at 9:30 and final at 10:30, winning both 4-0 4-0. Finished with Liam and Amy playing the orange ball doubles final at 11:30, winning 4-1 4-1.
I don't think the other orange ball kids thought it was very fair having to play Liam, and he certainly didn't go easy on them, but Amy was pretty happy with it. To be fair to Liam, he did ask the coaches if it would be ok for him to play with Amy and was encouraged to do it. I'm not sure the green ball kids were any happier about having to play Liam anyway.

Wasn't keen enough to get out of bed in time to do this before tennis started so had to go in the afternoon when I was feeling even less keen. Heavy legs, sore heel, not much fun. Soreness was kind of vague and mild and did ease a bit in the second half at least.

Thought I should do a bike ride since we didn't have much planned today so it should be easy to fit in a longer ride. Planned to do it as soon as Rachel got back from park run but couldn't actually find the motivation to set out until the middle of the afternoon.
I replaced the seat, bar tape and gear cables on my bike last week and it was a lot nicer knowing I could change gears when I wanted to but I'd still had enough by the time I got to Pt Walter. Chased someone along the freeway path from Canning Bridge to the Narrows just to help get it over faster.

Had to make a note of this in case it is the last time I ever see a 6 at the start of my weight. Probably needed to drink a bit more.

Little jog in KP. Sore on the medial side of the left heel quite early in the run but feeling ok again by the end. Heart a bit dodgy at times.

Pump with CC. Mostly walked over to the gym but for the little bit I did jog my heel felt fine.

Jogged a few laps of RP while the kids did running club with Sarah Jamieson.
Tried putting the orthotics in the shoes for the first time in a long while. Foot was pretty good, not sure if the orthotics were making a difference or just the couple of days rest.
