Sunday Long Run 23KM

Well woke up at 6 and to be honest I wasn't in the right mind set... the hasn't happened much lately.  


I have changed my plan during the week.  I run Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri up to an hour and really enjoy it.  I am doing this 30K run in Dec so I am hoping these long runs pay off.


It was very hot out there today, I took my hand bottle with gatorade in it and a couple of gels in my pocket.  As I said I wasn't feeling in the mood so much of the first three miles was not much fun. Then I was next to the Kedron and I felt quite happy.  I tried a 6:35 R/W and think that that didn't really work out.  I think on the 30K day I will use 4 min and 35 sec rest so I can really enjoy it.  Quite a few runners out this morning.  I don't know any of these runners but end up coming up with names for them... must be a mind occupying thing.  Well there is one girl who I have seen before and she is 5ft looks 50Kg and runs like she is tap dancing.  I call here the 'tippy happy' girl.  she is great.  Makes my day each time she is out!


It was about 10 miles when I felt really week then just plodded in...


I am due to move to Hamilton soon. So will be using new routes,  that should be revitalising.  I am very with how my running is going though, my HR is improving and weight is dropping.  The main thing is the mid week runs are going great.


Hey everyone has a bad day!
