A good week for vert, sub par for distance.
That's a good summary for a 6 day run week, last Friday off, too busy shopping & other general odd jobs. As well, it ended an 8 day streak which doesn't really matter as I have had 10 non running days this month.
This month has been more about moving into our new home & start the unpacking process. We are settled, although the unpacking is slow. Trying to downsize & work out what to keep, where it will go & what to get rid of will take some time.
This past week, ending today again marked by the lack of a decent long run. One 2 hour run is no where near long enough when I consider a long run to be over 3 hours & pushing 5 hours if possible.
However, above average altitude gain is a positive. One run just over 1,000 metres, one at 630 metres and one at just over 300 metres, all good efforts, made me happy.
Finally, we had our best weather day since arrive on the island and on that day I had a beautiful 15 minutes standing in the river to help out the legs to recover.
So, all good. Point to Pinnacle mountain race is just over 2 weeks away. Apart from the hard road surface, won't like that, looking forward to the challenge of getting from sea level to summit at 1,270 metres.
