It's now just over 2 weeks since the final day of the Darling River Run. As expected, I picked up a slight virus late last week resulting in blocked sinuses. More a nuisance than being sick, certainly not enough to not go back to work yesterday. But, all over now, back to normal.
As can be seen, the weekly averages for the year are slowly dropping as both the running distances and the elevation gain are still very low. Last week managed around 35 kms at nice easy pace with plenty of walking where necessary.
There will probably be 2 more weeks of slow easy & short running. I have another 10 days off work starting Saturday involving some travelling so not much running.
However, if I get this recovery wrong, then the remainder of the year may be disaster.
At this stage there may be only one more ultra in me so I may target the CBR 100 km in March next year before I rack the trail shoes. Don't think there are any trails back in Tassie where we are going to live.
