Rest day today. Feeling strong, so having a day off when there are perfect opportunities for sweat is a test of discipline in itself.

The kid returned from her camping trip this afternoon, so the world has suddenly become vastly noisier, with a constant stream of consciousness following me around. Cuddling an 8 year old throughout the dinner shopping became a little awkward, as she's no small thing anymore, but we made it. Holidays are great, but coming back is better.
The first stage of dealing with the training program and the kid has found a solution in the form of a birthday party tomorrow afternoon, ensuring that the run will go on, albeit late afternoon, when it will still be hot.
Noticing a little soreness in the left achilles during a romp in the park this afternoon - let's see what a good sleep can bring.

My Brisbane friend commented on my repair job yesterday - he was very grateful for the effort, but felt very embarrassed by the extent I went to. As a designer, the opportunity to share a little creativity with a good mate is a pleasure, regardless of the effort. Its the people that expect something for nothing that take the fun out of it.

Anyhoo, here's dinner...
