Quick update

Went camping over the weekend at Wiseman's Ferry so limited training. Here's the quick update:

Friday
Rest. Spent day picking up camping gear and roof box and driving to Wiseman's. Fantastic weather. Spotted our first live wombat before the kids started shouting at it and frightened the living daylights out of it.

Saturday
Easy 10km. Ran quite quickly for 20 minutes along the road hugging the Hawkesbury then turned around and tried to get back in under that time. Kicked hard and managed it quite easily for a 38:45.

Sunday
Rest, but feeling guilty about lack of training with New York approaching. Had a great day though settling into a few beers at the beautiful pub in St Albans and then Kirsten driving us all home.

Monday
14km run into work. Beautiful weather - perfect conditions (clear skies but still slightly cool). Ran with the backpack on carrying my work shoes so wasn't light. I think this put strain on the knee as it started to feel sore around Kirribilli. Stopped and stretched and this immediately eased the pain so worth bearing in mind.
Despite the backpack it turned out to be a quick run - probably due to the easy past 3 days. 27:10 at Spit Junction and 57:25 to work. Felt very strong running over the bridge. Hope to put in a solid week this week to put things back on track for NY in 19 days time.
