Long run from in-laws in Toowoomba. Was aiming for the usual destination of Picnic Point but this time started in the direction USQ, aiming to follow the route of the Toowoomba Marathon. Quite a nice looking little uni - Range Runners should make a sprint map of it if they haven't already. From USQ I headed east, down into West Ck then across Middle Ridge and down East Ck, before turning toward Picnic Pt. Skipped my usual diversion down to the Tabletop lookup but had a short rest at Picnic Pt before heading back to East Ck and then down to the city for a loop through Queen's Park, back through the city and the home via West St.
I was a bit worried about my left calf which was feeling pretty tight soon after setting off. Stretching didn't help much but it didn't get much worse either so I just kept going. I was certainly feeling a bit weary at the end but still strong on the hills - it's nice to see that recent training has had some effect.
