Heidi started in the same group as me but left me behind not long after hitting O'Connor Ridge...Nadine powered passed in the last k...

yesterday we played golf early 7:26am start and finished just on 4hrs...I played to a 19 instead of a 15 but it wasn't too bad...

baseball was at Kambah against the Eagles and I managed a much better game this time...gloving the ball much better as catcher and having a more successful time at bat (a triple, walk, walk, a single)...we were leading 23-1 at the top of the 5th (?) when the game was called...

the only downside is that it looks Suze has stuffed her knee sliding into 2nd base (or more accurately the 2nd base fielder)...she's already had two ops on that knee and it doesn't look good today (I picked up some crutches on the way home from the handicap)...hopefully we can get her in to get it checked ASAP...mind you she still pitched the last two innings albeit not quite as sharply as she was unable to really weight bear on that leg...

this week is an easier running week as I am on duty at track...
