I had a day off work on Wednesday to attend a mid morning funeral. A slight intention to run in the afternoon, so too tired, more mentally than physically, so didn't even bother. Good decision really.
Thursday, big intention to run to top of Mt Taylor as a quality mid week longish run.
Started out that way from work, but as I started to get close to Erindale shops, the legs just didn't have it in them. With some good hills still to go, I changed the plan & slowed down just to get the run completed.
Crossing to Farrer Ridge, going was Ok, but Mt Taylor loomed in the distance, looking higher than usual. Actually ran a good portion of the front walking track, the easiest path to the top.
Stopped to chat to a runner, injured at the moment & out on his mountain bike, for a while. Then on down towards Chifley side, took the long way & finished on the far side of Kambah Village, a long way from the start. Finally back to work, report back to depot supervisor to say I had returned safely. If something had gone amiss, at least they had some idea on where to send Search & Rescue to find me.
It wasn't a pretty run, a bit ugly in fact, but I banked over 20 kms, so all worth while.
Friday, nothing more than a short jog home at lunch time, and so much better than the previous day.
Must have been the early night, and a couple of anti inflammatories to ease away a few niggles. Worked a treat today.
