A typical session on Wednesday on Calwell oval, creature of habit with something that works.
Lane 5, good condition for mid summer, grass soft but drying, bare feet, change direction every 5 laps after short stop for drink.
Gradual increase in pace to finish with a nice 4' 31" for 20 laps. Worked well, enjoyable morning. Stopped at the river on way back to work, all good.
Today, an easy run before riding bike home at lunch time. Nothing special, but felt comfortable & good. Another stop at river on way back to work for 10 minutes in the water. No problems.
