Slack record keeping...

now that i'm not sticking to a running training program i find i'm being quite slack about my blogging!

Saturday

had my massage pre-golf due to Jodie's birthday party/BBQ preparations in the afternoon...must have fired me up for golf because i broke 90 for the second week in a row and managed to win!

good party for Jodie...her mum, brother, sister-in-law & nephew were in attendance as were my parents...lots of food, lots of talking, lots of fun...

Sunday

off to Sydney for cricket with a passenger in tow (one of my Meteor team-mates)...we lost this match by 79 runs...we fielded first while they made 2/222, i got a catch & a stumping...should have been 2 catches but for the 4th time this season it was given not out...this was the best i've kept all season...however only made 2 with the bat before mishitting a pull shot to lob a catch to midwicket...

Monday

rest day with fielding training in the afternoon which went really well...Jodie ran this session while the coach was interstate...

Tuesday

Posture & Flexibility at lunch otherwise another restful day!

Wednesday

decided to do my run at lunchtime as a caching adventure...attempted 3 caches...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 31.6/15%
start time: 12:48pm
total distance: 9.01
total (running) time: 50:38
avg pace: 5:38
total calories: 675
avg HR: 153
finish temp/humidity: 32.3/15%

the first cache (Acton Action) was around near the National Museum (2.79k 14:57 5:22)...found all the required info & did all the calculations but didn't find it after about 20mins of searching (Jodie however has confirmed i was in the right spot, i just need to look harder)...the second cache (The Thin Blue Line) was around near the new Police Memorial near the Carillon (3.88k 22:01 5:41)...again found all the necessary info BUT used the wrong numbers to work out the final location because i mis-read the directions (that were at work so i couldn't double-check)...after about 10mins of being puzzled at what i had figured out to be the final location (a lamp post!) i headed off on my third & final leg (Cunning Capital Capers) which was near the Legislative Assembly (2.34k 13:40 5:50)...i was thinking if i didn't find this one at least i wouldn't have far to go back to work!...however success was had this time although i stuffed up the final co-ords initially after subtracting instead of adding 23 as per the directions (d'oh)...

obviously hard mental & physical work in warm conditions!

had a net session after work at Manuka for 90mins....had both a good bowl & a good bat so that was fun...

on the way home, found The Thin Blue Line cache after using the correct numbers!

Thursday

might do another caching run at lunch and we have another centre wicket practice at the Mint after work...last skills work before we head to Melbourne on Sunday...

for those that are interested we are playing at Central Reserve in Glen Waverley...we play Queensland on Monday, Victoria on Tuesday, Tasmania on Wednesday & NSW on Thursday with the bye on Friday...all matches are 50 overs per innings starting at 10am...
