23km North Head and Balgowlah Heights route. Ran in the midday sun on a very hot (31C) and humid day. Legs were rolling over fine to start with so just went with the flow which meant too fast. Hit the stone arch in 46:45 and realised I'd taken it too quickly, from then on I really struggled, plodding along at the pace I intend to run 6ft track in next week.
Stopped at every bubbler but was still parched. Reached reef beach and decided to go in for a swim which was fantastic. Haven't felt so relieved. Picked up a bit after that and finished in 1:39:16. Pretty respectable in the heat but am knackered now and need a sleep.

How come you never bother replying to the comments then. I mean you should be pleased since the rest of the blog is so boring to have a few posts from others. Apparently not! Did Dad arrive safely and have you been running with him yet ?
.Jamie,
Just worked out how to respond - I've been trying but have only just registered (despite it being my blog).
Dad arrived safe last night and was pounced on by the kids this morning. Apparently he had a really good flight. Got the photos from Laurence - Katie's room looked great. Fabulous decor. It looked like one of those Romanian orphanages.
Hope the arm is better.
Tom
