Great run but felt like I was working hard although HR avgs and max about the same as last weekends long run. I guess combination of heat (27deg), mostly running on beach or sandy tracks and having a biggish week with lots of endurance work. Ran from the Liggo Villa down onto the beach, up past Sunshine Beach, over to Alexandrina Beach, Noosa Heads, back along main walking path, hastings St Beach, Hastings Street then the no 2 track throught the forest to Sunshine Beach. Cooled off in the pool once back. Felt hot and a bit weary. Will take it easy this week and hopefully adjust to the heat as week passes. Lots and lots of people on the beaches and walking trails.

Arrived at Chateu de Liggo at Sunshine Beach around lunch after early morning flight (450 get up) and stroll round Eumundi Markets. Promptly had a nanna-nap for a few hours. Ahhh holidays. :) After food shopping dragged myself out for a very short trot in the semi-dark and real dark by the end. Just round some streets. Really noticing the warmth with it about 25degrees.

Tour de Pete with Pete Wilson, Shep, Kez & Jules. Nice enough cruise although Gungahlin natives were restless with several utes of abuse through Gold Creek. Coffee & raisin toast at Sfoglia which I didnt think was quite as good as usual. Pete demolished bacon & egg focacia and a hash brown. Good news is TommyQ's maggie is back. He gave me one swoop when I was leaving Sfoglia calling out "Wherrrress Tommy? arrgh!".

Off to Whitsundays and Liggo's Sunshine Beach training base tomorrow so while enjoying the sun AP updates may be limited. Big Whitsundays run is Sunday week with a rumour sweeping the Pete peleton today that Troyzee will make an appearance for the race.

was trying to get to DS Hills in the evening but it didnt work out so a rest day it became.

Tour de Gus aka Cotter-Uriarra with Liggo, Shep & Prosseri. My first ever Tour de Gus and quite enjoyed it, except for early get up. Beautiful conditions and nice to be out of town and cruising with minimal cars. Kept my own rhythm on hills as others, particulalry Prosseri & Shep, sailed away and my downhills & corners seem a bit better. Shoes and bike felt best ever after bike had service on weekend. Guses much improved also with delicious banana bread. Was all ready to lock banana bread in as my regular serve until I got the bill. Now not so sure. Liggo devoured bacon & eggs in record time.

the other half of the commute, although this time to Fyshwick to pick up car froma few running repairs. this time with new shoes and pedals. felt good. saw Bazorak and scared the beejesus out of him (sorry Johnny). He was in good form as always.

very slow, dark trot from bob&jude's house into red hill. Still a bit stiff and sore but little trot helped.

Cook Blob. Inclement weather stripped the softies away from the blob with Hoggster, Stace and Luke accompnying myself. I was stiff and sore from weekend with left hammy particulalry tight and managed to convince the troops to shorten the usual run. I think not stretching post yesterday's run was as much to blame as the run itself. Stretched for a while once I got home. Its always good to shut the gate once the stretch has bolted.

Half a commute.
