After a week where the run average was 11km per day, I had to get some distance into the training. And with only 20 km last Saturday, it had been 2 weeks since running with CJ (that washed away holiday person nearly forgotten about ) and it sure told a story. I set the alarm this morning to watch the marathon from Osaka then, inspired headed out about 11:00am.
Started out OK going over to Wanniassa Hills, Farrer ridge, around the back of MacArthur and down Isabella Dr back home. Stopped for a quick sandwich and drink before continuing down to Point Hut, along the river track past Pine I to the river loop at the end car park and back to Pine Is. The last few kms was were I noticed the lack of distance in the training and I was glad to finish at a tick over 33 kms. That will have to increase during Sept as BC is now only 8 weeks away with 7 weekend long runs to get stuck done. Still time as long as nothing goes wrong.
The water at Pine Is beach is very cold but works wonders. Five times in for a minute is as much as I can handle but that is enough. The water in the lake is slightly warmer but not much.
if anyone knows how high and how cold Vanity's Crossing is I would like to know. I will be back out there in 3 weeks time to find out and I don't want to be surprised. Next Saturday will be longer than today and the following week will possibly be Mt Rob Roy, then back to the Cotter until nearly Christmas. Gosford 12 hour is still on the plan for early January if the event is on, there is a doubt reading the thread on "coolrunning".
