Today's run was very average with little enthusiasm or intent in the effort and the weather doing little to help.
The journey took me from work up Athllon Dr to Learmonth then on the base track of Urambi Hill as far as Gleneagles. I had intended to go to Kambah Pool but changed plans and headed across the open paddocks back to Tuggie creek crossing on the small bridge. Then down to the river track to past Pine Is to the nature park at the southern end, followed a fence to the gravel track behind Bonython and eventually back to work.
Seemed to lose interest fairly early and struggled after that. There may be warning signs to be interpreted as the legs felt heavy and there was no rhythm in the run at all. A day off running tomorrow and a few light easy days this week may be needed before returning to the Cotter on Saturday.
I can't afford a lapse or setback at this stage before BC.
By the way, at GH last weekend, Tugger( David Waugh) ran 16 hrs 10 mins for 160 km in terrible conditions, rain, mud, puddles to smash the race record, and Rachel, his wife ran the 160 km in just over 20 hrs to break the female race record. Well done to both. Results on "coolrunning", Can't wait till next year now!
