Street-O @ Maroondah Triangle

My old stomping ground. Light rain. Set off at a fairly brisk pace, and with about 15 minutes to go, decided to make a dash for #20, picking up #1 on the way. Got to the top of the hill between the two, and was puffing and exhausted. And only walking! Great view over Croydon though. Debbie steamed past me, and I slowed down a bit before making it back with a few minutes to spare. My ankle definitely had a good workout, and was uncomfortable standing around afterwards. 5.0 kms in 57 minutes.

Decided against going out again this morning, as the ankle was definitely sore once I got home. I'd left the alarm off again last night, woke up early, checked on the birds (2 galahs, and the seed cone is worn down to a stump already), and went back to bed. :-)

pm: walk to Bunnings at lunchtime (always so much more cost-effective than driving, bcause then I can't buy anything too heavy or bulky). Foot is a bit swollen behind the anklebone, and a bit tender to walk on. Not sore, exactly... just a bit overcooked.
