A Change of Pace
Today:
Purpose: mix up the recovery
Distance: 8.6 km
Time: 47' 42"
Rate: 5' 33" per km
Weather: sunny, temp 18 degrees, humidity 40%, wind calm
Week & Sept: 26.00 km, Year: 3795.1 km
Still not quite ready for a long run, so I jogged down to Calwell oval for a slow tempo session on the grass track.
Surface is in beautiful condition, lane 5 as usual gets little use & perfect for running bare feet.
Completed 10 laps, 4.45 kms in 22'31" at nice comfortable pace of 5' '04" per km.
Slow jog down and back at 6 min pace. I am hoping this slight change of pace will assist in the recovery pace without going backwards. Certainly not a speed session, no chance of injury and a nice time in the sunshine.
If I can get the mind right, I may increase the distance of a run this week. But, it's more a mental thing than physical. Just not in the right frame of mind to go too far at the moment.

With the days getting longer I'll be putting some work on lane 6. Glad to hear it's in good nick.

Easing back into things is the way to go. No hurry. Watch out for the magpies though. I've been attacked several times already in places they weren't inhabitating in previous years. Yikes!
