Friday was an easy day with a run home from work at lunch time. It was cold again with a big frost overnight and a low temp of - 6 degrees. Fairly typical of winter in the national capital. As usual we get a nice sunny day, even if it doesn't get very warm.
Today, I ran/walked with Softshoe to Woden and back from home. I big loop course through Gowrie & Fadden to the underpass at Yamba Dr. Then through Farrer nature park to Mawson, down to Woden town centre, through Lyons to Oakey Hill, and then following the Tuggie Parkway to the Tuggeranong town centre.
A detour behind Bonython to Gordon and home to get the desired 35 kms for the day.
A good training session with some good walk breaks as will be required at Caboolture.
Finished feeling good, a little tired but that's all.
This will be the last longish run with only 3 weeks to go. Cut back the distances now with some rest days in as well and taken if the weather looks at all unfavourable. There is rain/showers predicted for Tuesday/Wednesday next week.
