Woeful Wednesday Waddle!

This morning the alarm woke me at 5.10am but it was 5.45am before I emerged into the brisk morning air with headlight and ipod attached. It was actually quite a still pleasant morning in spite of the lack of light. I had intended to run 10km but had to make a mad dash home to finish at the 9km mark instead as I was suffering intense tummy cramps. My run was decidedly slow - more like a plod when I look at my pace but I guess it's a few more kilometres in the bank or something! I just ran part of the Kaleen block then out on the cycle track (a little dark here) past Giralang towards the tunnel heading for Gungahlin then back home. I did have to avoid a couple of dogs which were off their leads and heading my way - a bit scary - but fortunately they listened to their owners and left me alone!

  1. Thanks for inspiring me to run earlier, I have to as the sun is already burning at 7, you make it sound easier even starting at 5.45!

    See you at the Canberra Half next weekend - not sure how my legs will like the run, but am in for a nice enjoyable run.

    Liza.

  4. Is it true that CJ has stopped blogging because she's spending all her spare time watching her daughter and Bodie?
