Trotted Ewan over to childcare in the chariot for another familiarisation session. He's settling in great, he even lay quietly to be changed by the childcare staff, something he almost never does at home. Legs feeling a bit weak but otherwise really good after my massage and stretching session last night; achilles quite good too.

Street/Night-O close-by in Yeronga so jogged over. A decent run I suppose but I wasn't terribly focussed and made a couple of little errors and then a couple of controls were misplaced, one I didn't bother hunting for, the other I found. 3 min behind Olly in the end. Felt great physically, legs felt nice and loose after yesterday's stretching and running form felt great for the first time in a long time - legs turning over nice and easy.

Some funny behaviour from my achilles tonight. My left achilles was okay this morning and running to the event but when I got there it was sore. I did 2 x 5 eccentric calf raises (which were fairly painful) and some kenyan 1/2 squats hoping that would help and sure enough 5 minutes after those the achilles was pain free and didn't hurt at all through the run or standing around after ... how is that possible?

To and from the orienteering.
