Long Wednesday run to work

Usual 19km run to work but have changed the marathon pace stretches. Now run at a true marathon pace and longer - first from Pittwater Rd entrance to Queenscliff lagoon to Manly SLSC (about 8:20), the second from the bottom of Parriwi Rd to Neutral Bay (15:54) and the third across the Harbour Bridge (no time - too knackered to look). 40:00 at the bottom of Parriwi, 49:02 at Spit Junction and 78:20 all up. Quicker again (no doubt helped by the longer fast stretches) but it was tough today. I was very tired coming through Kirribilli - off the back of 116km for the past 7 days (my biggest to date).

Beautiful cool day - perfect running conditions.

Hey Tom,
It's the calf tear. I can put up with the PF pain, but the calf just feels like it's going to tear everytime. To make matters worse, we moved house and the new house is about three stories up from the street (castlecrag hilly).
Thanks for the support, will have to try and swim or cycle (bike seems to be OK) before I get too fat.
Must get job also.
Glad to hear your training's going well. It's nice when you do a ~120km week. You feel nice and srrong (and buggered).
Hope to see you guys soon
