Started my run at 7am and the temperature was already 19 degrees....
Ran my old route of the Bridges run followed by the Bay. The Bridges run was completed in 1:45:42 (maybe a PB - need to check), then did a quickish lap of the Bay (27:47), then a very slow 5km shuffle at the end (22:43 - so just over 4:30 per km and still overtaking people!). All up 35km in 2:36:29.
Was pleased to finish this run. It was very hot at the end and upon return to the car I was informed it was 29 degrees....we are only just into spring...
That's 100.8km for the week. The first time over 100kms post London.
Calf felt good and left knee was a little sore. When I say sore it was still very good, just a little reminder that I can't run huge distances being an old fart.
Next week I'll wind back the training and have a mini taper for the Sydney half. I seem to be in very good shape so would like to run 1hr 15 or thereabouts. Time will tell. In the meantime I'll have a few Coopers to keep me honest.
