It doesn't get much better than today for flat running. Hills and mountains are much more enjoyable, but going around in circles on grass also brings happiness to some. I started a week on leave from work, and with Christmas Day a compulsory day of rest, I made the most of a really nice day in the ACT.
Jogged down from home, distance 2.5 km, that was the warm up, then 30 laps in lane 3 in 59' 20", ave around 4'15" per km, then a cool down couple of laps. I had arranged to get picked up in the car, really lazy I know, but the car was late. It been to a doctor's appointment so that could have been any time. After a drink and a rest, I did numerous up and down the centre of the oval, distance a bit over 200 metres each way, just adding a couple more kms to the daily tally. Tried to make these cool down, but doing it easy still managed to ave 4' 22" per km.
Great day, this morning I mowed the grass to make the property look a bit better for a few days, a few dead branches in some trees need to come down in time.
Have a good Christmas everyone, may all your injuries be in the past and the running trails ahead be long and hilly. Take care and stay safe on the road.
