Really easy recovery run with my dog. She must have forgotten how much she hated the last run I took her on: she enjoyed lots of bum sniffing with the other dogs in the park while I jogged around.
Legs felt really fine after yesterday.. I probably couldve gone orienteering if Id wanted.
Hardly feel like I can call it a run after yesterday!

Long arrows run (Sus, Jenny, Simon, Lachlan, Lauren and me). We ran from Bridgewater to Jupiter creek along the heysen trail, which was about 25.5km. Tyson picked us up from the end of the run and even met us half ways with suplies- what a champ!
The pace was quite quick for a long run, and I started to tire after 70mins, and by 2hours my legs were burning... I was soo happy to see the car at the end.
This was my longest run by 30mins, probably the most challenging, one of the coolest and definately most rewarding run Ive done.

Accidentally woke up early so did this thismornng instead of tonight.. just usual core and stuff.

Usual warm up/down with sus, lauren and simon around the river. It was 29 degrees and really windy today, and it made me feel pretty stuffed, and Im dreading summer.

Time intervals on the grass in the middle of the uni loop.
4x 2min with 1 min rec (walking)
4x 1min with 1min rec.

Felt better than I expected though it was really hard to go fast. (Runninig hard but not fast, especially when running into the wind.)
Could hardly breathe cos the air was so hot and dry.

This was one of my adventurous long runs which turned into a bit of an epic.
I ran from my sisters horse riding school up in the hills near inglewood- I felt like a change from my usual steep national parks green to green open paddoks, though it wasn't as flat as I thought.
I didnt take a map but had a bit of an idea of where the roads went..i thought. After 80 mins I realised that the shortcut which was meant to take me from the road I was on back to the road I wanted to be on probably didnt exist and the road I was on probably wasnt the one I imagined I was on..and the sun would be setting and I only had 40 mins to get back.
I decided to run hard and make it back in 40 mins, which I soon realised was impossible, so I took a shortcut.
I started up a long driveway which looked like it could continue in the direction I wanted. Halfway up I decided to cross the fence and run through the paddoks. I was halfway through the fence when a car came up the track... It was slightly embarrasing trying to explain my situation, especially when I looked in their street directory and saw how far I was from where I had to be in 15 mins.
Luckily for me they were quite friendly once they decided I wasnt an escaped lunatic running across their land, and offered to drive me back. I got back 5 mins before my dad came to pick us up...

Running was really good, I was running at a really nice pace(hr generally 150-160), felt good, saw lots of daffodils, green grass and blossom...just maybee next time ill take a map.
It was about 15km

Very relaxed run around the fox oval (because it was too dark everywhere else). Ran 25mins worth of 200m hard, 200m easy, but not too hard, just surges. Felt really good, legs felt fast and powerful. I guess I havent done much lately so i should feel good!
As I was running home I saw the moon rising over black hill and it was going red!! so cool...

After the run I did heaps of stretching cos by backs been a bit tight and have been lazy with stretches.
Then I did the 2o min core session.
