First long run since Brindie 95kms three weeks ago. Felt a bit sluggish to start but that may have been the early morning start, or a some residual fatigue that hasn't gone.
The weather looked very average all day, but there was no rain, just a very light drizzle nearing the finish.
Ran a big Woden loop, similar to several done over the past few months. Started from home, over to MacArthur, Wanniassa Hills nature park to cross Hindmarsh Drive then on to Red Hill trig.
That was almost half way in distance, bit over in time for the plan for today.
Down thru Curtin to meet Katie F on a jog with her dog. A short chat then on to the lower trails of Oakey Hill and Mt Taylor before heading to Erindale shops and back home.
A good run, not much resting except for talking to Katie.
This week is only to get to 120 kms, so not much tomorrow at the monthly handicap except the race.
I will help mark part of the course, so may be finish with 10 kms for the day.
Race will not be pushed, a good solid hit out.
