Just before Colombia...

Friday

8km route to Darling Point and back with detour due to bridge works. 15:39 at Darling Point, 33:04 all up. Felt great - full of running and so a quick time.

Thursday

14km run to work. 27:40 at Spit Junction and 58:21 all up. Struggled all the way. Very lethargic over first 5 kms.

Wednesday

8km run home stopping at the Toyota Garage. 30:04. Pretty non-descript.

Back into action

Pain in the Domain. 27:00. Couldn't get a split for the long rep as I was calling the intervals. It wasn't quick though, windy and I was struggling following time off and a tight chest recovering from the cold. About 3m behind Durante who was very strong throughout - he's really improved recently. Very wheezy at end of Farm Cove rep.

7km all up.

Wednesday 13th - Monday 18th - rest. Time off with bad cold and excessive Christmas party celebrating.

Ruby Tuesday

14km run into work. Tired backing up from last night but still with a little bit of bounce and not as bad as the last time I did over 60kms in 4 days. 28:00 at Spit Junction and 58:18 all up.

(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays

14km run home. Electrical storm so ran for my life. Following wind all the way but also felt great. As a result, 30:00 at Toyota Garage and 55:24 all up (a new PB).

Weather was so nice I headed out over lunch for the 14km Balls Head Reserve loop. 26:10 at Balls Head and 56:14 all up. Had to wear my old Kayano's as I forgot my trainers. Lovely run, really into the rhythm.

Boogaloo Blue

Sunday

23km with Tim Cradock. Met at Spit Bridge, ran to Manly along Spit Manly walk, then to Queenscliff, along Balgowlah Road, up side of Burnt Bridge Creek deviation and back hom. 1:42:04. Very pleasant easy run.

Saturday

8km Manly Route. Put in some fast patches which must have madeup for the dlow patches as I ran 29:34.

Hot, not humid, slight wind

8km to Darling Point and back. Detour at Rushcutters Bay due to the footbridge being repaired. 15:30 at Darling Point, 33:19 all up. Felt terrible, stomach pains (Xmas lunch and lots of drink yesterday) back pains and sweating profusely. Pleased to get it over and done with.
