Roadies for the 3rd week at the Beach. Started a bit faster today but legs felt very heavy, probably due of lack of warm up. After 5 minutes or so, started to feel better and tempo increased, passing a couple of slower runners.

Settled into a bit of a battle with Phil Roy and a young guy I don't know as we reached the turn around and headed back. Got the better of Phil with about 2 kms to go and then passed the young guy a little later but he then raced back past me as I struggled up the steps and I couldn't catch him in the last km.

Happy with the time, my fastest for the 3 runs. Won't make the handicap next week as I believe I am joining the girls on a pre-wedding run next Saturday morning!!

Briohny finally convinced me to join her for Pilates session (DVD program). Deb also joined in. I was pretty clumsy and not very flexible but did enjoy it. Learnt a couple of really good stretches too.

Summer Series in Tolland and Bourkelands area. Good fun, lots of changes of direction and route planning required. Needed a hit out after 2 days of meetings and weather was good, not too hot and low humidity today.

Afternoon cycle. Usual Lake, Rawlings, Mitchell Rd loop. Starting to heat up again after a few cooler days but not bad for cycling.

Short afternoon run after a day sitting round in meetings all day! Quite nice conditions as it wasn't too hot or humid, despite a very welcome 25mm of rain overnight, now over 75mm in the last 4 days! I'm guessing but that's probably as much as we have had in any month for a couple of years.

Been feeling very tired last few days so decided to just a have a rest today.
