Really enjoyed this one. Had a safe lunch, so got out in the afternoon while the family was out. Along the river bike track for a bit, then out into Moresby. Ran the extents of the new subdivision, then our along Weber Rd, planning to take the first left and double back to head home.
That left turn was a looong way down the road, so the planned 15km blew out a bit. Still fun through to the end though, and I didn't keep anyone waiting for dinner after all, so a win all round.

Had a sleep in, expecting the cyclone to hit a couple of hours before my usual morning run time, but it headed inland and died after passing Kalbarri, so 12mm of rain and a little bit of breeze meant that I could have run after all.

Anyways, as is often the case with my eating peculiarities, an afternoon run turned into an evening run and by the time I got out the door at about 8:15, I had absolutely zero motivation. Wasn't sure if I was even going to make it around the block, but legs didn't feel too bad, so headed down to the Chapman Road foreshore and started the planned session.

Pretty warm and disgustingly humid, but got the session done OK. Felt like I'd been in a swimming pool by the time I made it home.

20 min-ish WU, 6 x (4:3), 20 min-ish cooldown.

Slightly weary morning plod. Achilles noticeably better than last night. Better run twice a day so it never has the chance to stiffen up...

Scheduling a run tomorrow may prove interesting, given the cyclone that is due to hit tomorrow morning.

Evening jog after picking up P from the airport. Surprised hen I saw the time at the end. Wasn't terribly interested in running when I started and wasn't trying to push the pace at all, except maybe from boredom and just wanting it to be over. Felt pretty cruisy, but right achilles was more grumpy than I'd like.

Walking out a potential new cross country course, as there was been an annoying new fence built through the old one. Needed a GPS trace to be able to adequately explain where it goes to other Phys Edders.

Other than that, planned rest day.

Poor morning to be unable to find the Garmin. Turns out it was where I thought it was, but I didn't see or feel it, rummaging around in the dark with Penny trying to sleep.

20 Easy, 20 Tempo, 20 Easy. Covered about 5.3km in the 20 minutes, but not sure I can be bothered measuring it out.

Standard morning plod.
