Training Log Archive: blairtrewin

A shorter and earlier long run than usual because of the upcoming weekend races; headed up past La Trobe Uni into Bundoora Park, taking in what the Melway describes as the 'highest point in the metropolitan area' (this involves a 1960s definition of the metropolitan area). Felt pretty good at times, and was able to pick up the pace somewhat in the final third as I realised that I was running late for the train I wanted (the long gradual downhill from Watsonia isn't the most difficult of finishes either). Achilles still a nuisance but otherwise a pretty good run.

Ran into Bruce on the train, the first time I can remember this happening despite our living in our present locations for the best part of a decade. I think he normally heads in earlier outside of school holidays, and of course I'm not on the train that often.
