The Need For ...... A Creature of Habit

Rate:  tempo 4' 57" plus 5' 57"

Week:  72.95 km,  Oct:  52.9 km,  Year:  4073.4 km

Calwell oval, I felt the need to return to some running bare feet on grass.
Lucky today on several fronts, oval was vacant, grass was soft & recently cut, wind although blowing quite strongly was across the track so only a short section was into it.
It wasn't meant to be a fast session, I can't do fast any more. Instead, a comfortable cruise interval session in lane 5 as usual, bare feet as usual, change of direction after 5 laps as usual.
Just ran 12 laps to get over 5 kms averaging about 5 mins per km which is Ok for me at this time of the running cycle especially after a year or more of very long, very slow distance.
Very happy with the session, everything felt Ok, no problems, so may be next time a little quicker might be possible.
I'll certainly need to run faster than that across the Bogong high plains in January to make the cut off.
