Topped 5000 kms
Today:
Purpose: easy kms
Distance: 10.15 km
Time: 56' 50"
Rate: 5' 36" per km
Recovery: 8 minutes in river
Weather: beautiful, temp 25 degrees, humidity 28%, wind WNW 20 kmph
Week: 34.9 km, Dec: 159.2 km, Year: 5004.1 km
I'm now 200 kms past my previous highest yearly total of running kms from back in 2008.
New territory doesn't feel any different than last year because may be I'm just a little bit wiser.
Although much of the first half of the year was dedicated to the Birdsville track run, there have been plenty of rest days & very easy days in there.
Plus, heaps of time spent in the cool waters of the Murrumbidgee River.
So, still going & hope to for some time yet.

Well done.
It would be interesting to know how many actual running days you had. I bet your kms/days ratio would be way higher than most other people's.

I don't usually leave comments on blogs but this one is worthy of a few words. Anyone who can get to 5000+ km in a year really has to have thir 'mojo' going. Well done, you are still looking sharp for a young fella and their is plenty of run left in those legs even if it is at a slower pace.

Speedygeoff, total running days were 267 to make 5000 kms = 18.7 kms ave per run day. There were many long running days, but also many days not over 10 kms, easy/recovery days.
