MTB 2:40:00 [3] 38.0 km (4:13 / km)
shoes: Diamondback Vectra Sport
Usual loop from the Dell. Hot, dry and dusty. Felt like a real gumby at the start, but quickly improved and felt I was generally riding better. Feeling briefly evaporated hen I did something really wrong and faceplanted quite heavily, but no serious damage done. Saddle bag parted company from bike on landing a jump and I had to go and retrieve it.
May well have been more like 3 hours today, or the extra time may have ben in having longer stops to recover in the heat. Dunno, don't care. Good fun.
Hands and shoulders really sore compared to normal. Probably from having to hang on so tight. Hands were so sweaty that even in gloves I couldn't grip the handlebars or brake levers properly.

run 1:04:56 [4] 11.0 km (5:54 / km)
shoes: Nike Equalon
After two days of lethargy and can't be bothered-ness I was forced into running by the state of the back rim on my road bike. Took it in for a service this morning to get things sorted for the new year.
Ran in the heat in the middle of the day. Was good on the roads, but once I hit the limestone and sand trails south of Mindarie the refleted heat was a killer. Got significantly harder when the trails softened up and worse again when I ended up off trails all together in the sand dunes. Made things really tough and my calves are going to pay for it, bt it will be a great place to explore on morning runs before school and always has the option of a flat sand run along the beach. Better for me than just running the streets from home. However, not having a shower at school is gong to suck.

Not having any trouble holding the pace this week. felt strong. Could have done another one. Yay. No foot pain. Have to get orthotics changed. Runnig without them is fine at the moment, but will probably cause issues if I increase the k's much.

run warm up/down 25:00 [2] 4.0 km (6:15 / km)
warm up, cool down, recoveries. Approx.
Note
Turns out these are very similar times to what I ran on 1st March last year, although I had 45 seconds less recovery then... Pretty happy with that - sort of puts my running about a month ahead of where I was last year, even though I haven't done any of the long stuff.
