Two rest days in past week due to rain & partly planned anyway meant a big drop in kilometres run.
However, metres of elevation continued to increase as last Saturday was the last of the big training days with 41.75 kms of distance and 1,720 metres of up hill.
Probably knocked a little bit of freshness out of me, but those rest days came in handy. As sometimes happens, today's short run was terrible with no rhythm. The strong cold southerly wind didn't help.
Now inside two weeks to go before heading out on another long solo run in the outback of Australia.
We are at the tail end of winter, but really would like some warmer days, sunny & dry.
All good, now tying to put on some weight, taper & freshen up.
