Probably the run I needed after a couple of recent runs that I would describe as average. A rest day on Sunday helped, with today a chance to hit out on a cloudy cool day. No need to carry a drink bottle.
Run from work up Athllon Dr to Sulwood Dr, over to the horse paddocks, up the front main track ( eroding away fast) to the top. Time to top from the start around 56 minutes, right on usual time. Then down the newish track to Torrens. It's easy enough to run, a short rocky bit near the top, plenty of logs across to stop erosion, but they slow you down as well as the zig zag nature of the near 1 km down.
Turn right on the Torrens side ( monthly handicap course) and back to the top side of the horse paddocks. Over to Sulwood Dr, then a chance to break out the speed, or lack thereof on the flat to down hill on Athllon Dr to the lake edge. Eased down nearing the college, feeling good and happy that I had finally put together a descent mid week run.
A short time in the gym, just a bit of arm and shoulder work, and 5 minutes on the exercise bike to cool down.
Stood on the scales at the finish, no shoes, I have lost a couple of kilos recently but I don't think it is helping.
