cyclones team meeting turned into cyclone cleanup. biddys house came off ok (pool ended up under a foot of water, but it all drained into next-doors yard after a few hours). after the worst of the storm we ended up on clean up dutys - helping a couple of houses get unflooded, and cleaning up fallen branches. biddy and mat went on a pizza mission, which took about an hour to get out of the gap.

the storm itself was pretty crazy - awesome wind, and hail hitting the windows so hard it smashed (fortunately the windows didn't - unlike some other houses). The only thing that survived outside was biddys gargoyle on the front fence.
drive home out of the gap was an adventure - weaving through fallen trees on waterworks rd. powerlines fallen everywhere (and a shreaded water tank strung in the powerline!). cars crushed under fallen trees, and the bridge on waterworks rd was partially under water.

Park O at St Peters. Didn't do a long run this morning cos I was at a wedding. Decided that champagne is far more detrimental to orienteering performance than a morning long run. legs were totally dead and had a bit of a headache.

just an easy run

those few easy days worked their magic, and todays run felt very easy again. ran the first 15mins with helen - she did ok and ran at a reasonable pace, just sounded like she was going to die any second.
cruised the rest and got rained on in the last 15mins, but still finished the run a little bit quicker than ususal. nice.

bailed on the anzac park time trial.... I'm blaming wendy for bailing first. and I was tired and late leaving uni, so decided to just go for an easy run from home.

still feeling tired and crappy, so I think its time for some easy days.

pilates class. getting to know the exercises again now. definitely helping to make my back and hip better!

unload week. was pretty tired this week, so very happy that I didn't have to work too hard. but did 6 chinups by myself!
