Yesterday, a cold winter's day, I ran home for lunch wearing 3 layers as that very light southerly wind meant cold. I'm not liking cold weather at the moment.
That distance was just 7.3 kms, so after lunch at home, I drove the car back to work. I needed to get home quickly after work as I had a monthly handicap sub committee meeting at 7:30 pm. I had to rush.
I decided on a tempo run around the lake to take advantage of the speed work from last weekend at the half marathon & the monthly handicap. A good solid pace under 5 min km pace for the 7.3 kms. Happy with the day's effort.
Today, I met Princess Muscles at work just before midday. A nice sunny day, even mild in air temp as the sun was shining with little or no wind.
I needed to cover over 20 kms, but PM wanted around 12-13 kms. So we headed to Erindale, on to Longmore Dr to get us to Athllon Dr. Down to the top of the lake and finally back to the car park near work. Great run, comfortably under 5"30" pace, chatted all the way. A good run and nice to have mid week company.
Then I added the extra 8 kms by going over to Bonython, on to the river track near Point Hut, followed it to Pine Is and back to work. A bit slower in pace, but the tracks are rougher.
Finished with 20 minutes in the gym. A good day, very enjoyable & good solid workouts.
