Running 40:00 [3] 7.8 km (5:08 / km) +150m 4:41 / km
shoes: Asics DS Trainer 13

Still taking advantage of being home alone and got out at 6am for a jaunt around the 'burbs. Made my way to the Bielby Rd entrance to where I thought there was a trail that came back past the reservoir but I discovered I was mistaken and had to follow the streets back before climbing straight up under the reservoir and immediately descending again down the trails. Not a bad route all up though. Quads, especially, feeling weary after yesterday evening's run.

Running 45:00 [3] 7.8 km (5:46 / km) +200m 5:07 / km
shoes: Adidas Supernova Cushion 7

Having missed the long run yesterday and sleeping in this morning (child is with grandparents and wife is at a conference) I endeavoured to go for an evening run when it had 'cooled down'. Took off just after 6pm and it was still disgustingly hot and sticky. Slogged my way up to the look Coot-tha lookout and back. Seemed like very hard work and struggled with a stitch several times, necessitating short walks. Quads trashed by the descent.

Running long 1:15:00 [3] 12.9 km (5:49 / km) +250m 5:18 / km
shoes: Adidas Supernova Cushion 7

Cylones long run from Clare's place with Wendy back from OS, Adeladian visitor Jenny C and someone who does the long run even less frequently than I do, Su Yan. 'Twas a nice easy pace which suited me fine as a I haven't run anthing long since the QLD champs but there was still an obvious lack of aerobic fitness. The Pipeline single-track at halfway was the highlight of the run - why don't we have cool running tracks like that? A little tired at the end but a dip in Clare's pool sorted me out. This run has enthused me to get training again however the summer heat is having the opposite affect.

Note

Found a great cafe in West End today, Cafe Veneziano. Fantastic coffee, good food, AND they had a little kids play area!

Running 35:00 [3] 6.0 km (5:50 / km) +150m 5:11 / km
shoes: Asics DS Trainer 13

Sunday morning run but started about 7.30am and it was too hot already. I'm going to hate summer. Trudged up to the reservoir and back.

Had thought about park-o today but we had a little 2nd birthday party for Ewan with some family in town and so it didn't happen.

Cycling (Commute) 1:10:00 [3] 27.0 km (23.1 kph) +225m

Another commute. A bit wet in the morning but dry and nicely sunny in the afternoon. Was behind a competent looking guy in racer gear past Anzac Park but he left me in the dust up the hill.

Running 33:00 [3] 7.0 km (4:43 / km) +50m 4:33 / km
shoes: Nike Free 5.0 (grey/green)

Lunchtime run from work around the burbs; thought I'd better make the most of the cooler weather (still pretty humid though). Started and felt pretty good and slowly cranked up pace in the later part. Most enjoyable run in ages.

(rest day)

Brought my gear in today for a possible lunchtime run but given that I haven't gone yet and it's already after 1pm it's not looking a good prospect! As an indication of how out of shape I am, my quads and calves are a bit sore after yesterdays not-quite-7km commute :(
