At waitarere for the weekend. Went out and ran most of the OY course from Hydrabad from July. Ground was very soft and the stabalising bits of my ankle got pretty sore, but overall ankle felt OK enough. Pretty sore after though. Crikey I feel super unfit running at the moment though.

Nice spin with tessa out at foxton dunes. My rear gear downshift broke after 5mins though, so was in singlespeed mode for most of the ride! Luckily it's nice and flowy though, so managed better than anticipated. So long as Tessa didn't brake too much on the downhills ahead of me!

Got out for an evening spin down Te Henui, along to Rotomanu and back up the Waiwhakaio.

An eventful after work run around pukekura. Witnessed someone collapsing on the track on the other side of the valley from me. Long story short, it was an escapee from the nearby retirement village, who'd done an impressive faceplant. After ascertaining it was just his face that he'd done a good job on, and figuring out where he'd come from, I went and retrieved a care giver from the resthome, while two other runners helped him up the track.

dusky jog around barrett domain. Got dark on me. The usual mistiming of when dusk actually is! Ankle painful for the first 5, then eased into it.

Afternoon loop. Wanted to go mountain biking, but too much rain the last days. Explored a couple of new trails then looped Te Henui.
