Calorie Deficit Day.. Ready for Christmas
Today:
Distance: 37.7 km
Time: 3 hrs 50 mins 53 secs
Rate: 6' 07" per km
Calories used: 2789
Weather: sunny early,then cloudy, temp 15-19 degrees, humidity 50%, wind northerly 17 kmph
Week: 37.7 km
December: 375.75 km - run days 20/23 = ave 18.78 km per run day
Year: 4394.0 km - run days 241/357 = ave 18.23 km per run day
Today was catch up day with only a short run possible yesterday due to morning rain. Today started out sunny but the cloud came over and the temperature dropped combined with a cool northerly wind. Good running conditions at 10:30 am when I set out. Very few people out today, at least where I went and I can understand why.
From home, down Ashley Dr thru Gowrie to Wanniassa Hill nature park. First hill, around the back of Fadden and then down under Yamba Dr to Farrer ridge, short hill here then over to the reservoir, behind the houses to the underpass leading into Isaacs. I went up the centre of Isaacs Ridge to the top, second hill, passing the towers on the way down to Long Gully Road. Over to the back of Wanniassa Hills heading to the back of MacArthur, down Isabella Dr past Fadden Pines to Ashley Dr and back home.
Stop for a drink and bite to eat and out again, down Johnson and Woodcock Dr to the gravel track behind Bonython. This leads to Pine Is where I stopped for 15 minutes to soak some very tired legs in the cool water of the Murrumbidgee River. Recent rains have really filled the river with dirty brown water, but at least it is flowing. One day Adelaide will get our left overs to drink. Why would you want to live there?
A very tired runner made his way back home, walked a bit, but made it home eventually.
Couple of lessons to be gained from today's run. Eating and drinking help performance, went into deficit too early and paid the price. Never the less, the longest run since Brindabella Classic in late Oct and there will be a benefit in the long term.
A few laps of the Calwell oval tomorrow, rest on Christmas Day and Mt Rob Roy on Boxing Day. Another long run next Saturday and Mt Tennent pencilled in for New Year's Day. May as well start the year as it needs to be climbing a mountain on the first day of 2008.
