Today's title should have been called " when slow is too fast". Last long run before GH80 next weekend so a very nice run with John K around the 15 mile course. A great day for running, cool early, no wind. We started out at 8:15 am with a plan for me to walk a bit, jog a bit, run a bit but with so many kms in the legs and an easy week, I felt really good so probably didn't walk as much as I should. I walked the last part of jellylegs and parts of Ma & Pa. Still the run pace was such we could talk all the way so the speed was slow enough.
The biggest surprise was the amount of water flowing over the little dam wall at Vanity's Crossing, and it was cold!! The few seconds to cross were plenty enough to go from refreshing to pain. The water must have been released from a dam upstream as the Cotter river is nearly dry, when will it rain?
A really enjoyable day today, glad for the company, leave mid week for Qld hoping for a dry, warm day next Sunday. A couple of short runs early in the week but nothing serious. I won't even need a snooze this afternoon, not that tired, didn't push very hard at all.

Fantastic day today. You sound really prepared. Have a restful week, a good trip and a fantastic run next weekend. You'll suffer withdrawal symptoms from BB!!

Nah Strewth, he's going to the eviction show after GH80 to welcome home CJ's daughter. She'll be out, along with Zoran this Sunday.
Surprising Vanity's was so high! Yes, I can remember when 2:11 was slow - way back in the good old days when 1:49 was 'normal'. Could hardly run 5k on the flat at that pace today.
