30 laps in lane 5 - 13.10 km in 57' 00" at 4' 20" per km
Cool down - 1.70 km in 7' 49" at 4' 35" per km

Mtn bike ride: 15.6 km
Weather: perfect morning, sunny, temp 18-23 degrees, humidity 35%, wind calm/very light
Week: 16.15 km
March: 42.65 km
Year: 928.1 km
It has been a few weeks since I ran laps on Calwell oval which is in perfect condition at present. A nice morning to ride the bike down to the oval found me sharing the oval with a game of soccer but on the outside so no real bother about finding space in lane 5. A model airplane in the sky above did cause some concern at times but they soon left.
Warm up, just 500 metres as I use the ride down to turn the legs over and get moving. Very good conditions, the grass is just long enough to provide a cushion to run without shoes, but short enough not to slow you down. Changed direction every 10 laps as usual and ran very comfortably without pushing too hard.
I had finished 30 laps, did a warm down up and down to finish off and decided to do a few sprints.
Something I have not done for years and although the times not flattering being 34 seconds for 160 metres each, I did 5 and was fairly happy with the result. Will they help get me through Six Foot Track on Saturday, don't know.
Should have rode home then, but decided a longer ride on the bike would be good a a nice place to go would be to the river. Plenty of people thought a nice day for a BBQ at Pine Is would be good, the water was great, cool. Rode home very relaxed ending what I would say was a perfect mixture of a training day. Bike ride, tempo run on the oval, cold water immersion to prevent injury on a great day.
I need some rainy or cool days early this week to give an excuse for a rest day, although Thursday is meeting day and Friday will be a rest day anyway.
In trouble for being away so long when I got home, but that only lasts a few days, then all will be back to normal. Some just don't understand. Always in the manure, just the depth that changes.
