Run 2:00:00 [3] 24.0 km (5:00 / km)
I was a bit apprehensive about this one, still not really feeling normal last night, but seemed in much better shape this morning - still waking up at 5 of my own accord rather than through an alarm, but it suits me for this to remain the case for the next couple of days.
It was a warmish morning (low 20s), though I took advantage of my knowledge of the valley bottoms where cool air was more likely to be found. Planned a route with a number of bailout options but in the end didn't need them; it was a run which felt a bit on the edge at times but ended up being reasonably solid, even downright good at times in the third quarter going down the Darebin Creek valley. About as good a session as I could reasonably have expected, and hopefully a sign that a difficult 36 hours or so is behind me.
