Another Week
Today:
Distance: 19.4km
Time: 1hr 50mins 00secs
Rate: 5'40"
Weather: Beaut,sunny,light NE breeze at 7kmph,temp range 16-21 degrees,humidity 50%
After watching hundreds of runners at the Canberra Marathon yesterday, you can't help but be impressed and inspired by all who compete. It doesn't matter whether they are first or last, just getting out there and trying is reward enough. Not always are you going to have a good day and a PB, but after you finish and have time to reflect, aren't you glad you are able to do it.
So today with that in mind on a perfect day in the nation's capital, not a cloud in the sky, away I went to visit the hills. School holidays have started with a few kids about playing soccer on the oval. They too are out there having a go, good on them.Met a couple of mountain bikers as well having a good time in the great outdoors.
A circuit of Tuggeranong Hill over the ridge past the reservoirs down to Conder and back home on the gravel tracks made a very nice day. I had taken the auto pause off the Garmin on Saturday for the long run and kept it off today so total time included a few stops on the way same as in any race. With that and a few hills thrown in, the overall time and rate was OK and a pace I would hope to easily start out with and maintain at GH80 for some time.
