I would have been very happy to stay in front of the TV and watch the men's triathlon starting at noon today. Instead, I had to get own running back on track, so I missed all but the last 500 metres of the Tri.
Nice day after a freezing cold start to the day, - 5 degrees, coldest overnight for a couple of years. Why? Global warming!!
I like today's run, almost no one about, can't be run in summer because of the long grass near the river hiding those nasty brown and black snakes. From work it's over to Learmonth Dr, onto the Urambi Hills track, old monthly handicap course as far as Gleneagles estate, past the golf course and down Kambah Pool Road to the river. That first part is just over 9 km with a few hills.
Then it's on the river track back to Pine Is past Red Rocks gorge, Kookaburra gate, Tuggie Creek, Tuggeranong rock wall ( no wombats in sight today). Very narrow technical track, undulating, bit scary where the track is high above the river with a big drop down and no fence. Good fun.
Another solid run after the lay off, no running as well as refreshes, also allows any other niggles to heal. Pity the water in the river is so cold, otherwise the legs could have had a bit of relief as well.
Easier day tomorrow with work group bike ride on Thursday, should be another fun week.
