It's so good having an extra day in the weekend. What's more, it's a stunner out there today. The sun is shining and it's the perfect day for a run. So why wait for Saturday - let's do it today instead. Just one little glitch - having run hard yesterday afternoon and consistently the day before it felt just a tad more difficult than I anticipated. However, I'm so glad I ran my long run today cos it means I have a rest day tomorrow before the Vets' Handicap on Sunday. Besides the forecast for the rest of the weekend is COLD! And so I ran from home round Lake G (where everyone and their dog and child and stroller and bike was out and about and at times it was a bit of an obstacle course!) Then on towards Gungahlin before turning and heading for home. This course is mainly on cycle tracks although I tend to head for grassy verges to prevent injury but as my long runs become longer I may head back off-road to some nice little undulating tracks - hmmm, we'll see.

Great day out today. Your average km pace was way faster than mine, so, can I get some tips from you. As well, if you are going off-road, a little undulating, I know a bit about it, we can swap notes.
ReplyDeleteWow! You've recovered so strongly from your injury. It's wonderful to say - and get back on the trails. You know you want to :-)
ReplyDeleteBTW I'm sure I'll be in Canberra before then but I'm definitely coming down for the Bush Capital marathon!
You did well! Enjoy your day off, and see you tomorrow - plenty of off-road for that one :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great run. I did Lake G this morning in what felt like exceedingly tough conditions - but then again I can still really count myself as a queenslander for another few weeks.
ReplyDeleteSounds like yours was a great run.
