Lunch Time Running

Today:
Distance: 15.95 km
Time: 85' 30"
Rate: 5' 21" per km
Weather: sunny, temp 21 degrees, humidity 30%, light NW wind at 15 kmph
Week: 15.95 km
Dec: 173.5 km
Year: 4605.6 km in 50 weeks at ave 92.1 km per week

Rest day yesterday after long run on Saturday, plus we went out for lunch. Then James and myself went to Pine Is later in the afternoon. No one else was there, James had a swim, while I just stood in the cool water.
Today, it was time to strap on the shoes and regain some momentum. Easy run home for lunch and back to work.
Nice day today without the wind from the weekend. Legs Ok, bit faster than KB pace from the 100 km run, and I bet a bit faster than her run at C2K. I did note in the results that she finished in front of Lisa from Qld, so now I am impressed. Mind you, she did have a couple of very good crew members, especially when the distance gets long and the going gets tough. Well done Kerrie.
There will be a couple of small changes to the SFT training plan over the next few weeks. The Boxing Day run to Mt Rob Roy will stay on the 26th Dec but the Mt Tennent run on New Year's Day will moved to Sat 3rd Jan '09. The next Mt Tennent run listed for Australia Day, Monday 26th Jan will now be a Mountain Running Assoc race to the top from Apollo Road, then back down and out to Bushfold Flats, then back to the start. Much shorter and easier, but under race conditions should be perfect.
Easier did I say, on the Saturday before we have a 30 km easy Mt Ainslie/Mt Majura, the the first monthly handicap of the year, only 6 km at Campbell Park. Big, big weekend!! That will test out our fitness and recovery.
