Today's run from Woden Interchange was the same course as Monday but in reverse, and for some unknown reason, measured 250 metres less. I may have cut a corner some where but can't explain the difference.
I went up Hindmarsh Dr to the Oakey Hill track, over to the sub station behind Lyons, then up onto the track that goes down the hill where the horses watch every movement. At the Cotter road, it was the flat part beside the drain that leads back to Woden Town Centre. Light drizzle fell along this part but fortunately there was no wind to make conditions unpleasant.
Fairly solid run, probably call it a tempo run, I thought OK on the ups, better on the downs and kept going on the flat. Very surprised at the km rate, really needed that last Sunday.
Rest tomorrow even though not much distance this week, and hopefully a good long run on Saturday afternoon after the marathon from Japan on Saturday morning, on SBS TV at 7.45AM.

  • 7.45am - I think I can sleep in until then.

    Watch out or you'll get a reputation as a sprinter with all these 10.X km runs.

    Let's hope CJ brings back some wet weather with her.

  • I suspect the satellites had moved slightly (250 m) from their position on your previous run. QED
