Gentle evening jog, checking out a few of the MTB track improvements along the river. It was only when I got to the far end river crossing and tried to find my way out that I hit the barriers blocking entry. Oh well, guess I wasn't meant to be in there. Finished along the footpath in fading light.
Got home, sat down and promptly started coming up in welts and getting itchy. Knew this was a possibility - I'd waited about 4-4.5hrs from lunch, but the feeling in my stomach said much of it is still sitting there undigested. Only had a burger and chips and can't even remember if there was cheese in the burger, so I'd love to know exactly what I'm reacting to.

Woke up this morning with a sore throat and feeling a bit snotty, so it seemed like the logical time to go for my longest run in quite a while.
Tried to keep it pretty cruisey, and still felt Ok other than a little calf tightness and right medial knee tightness at the end.
HR would suggest it wasn't so easy. Will see what effect it has tomorrow, I guess.

Note
Currently contemplating entering the Feral Pig Ultra 50km race on November 10, as something to train towards. Anyone know anything about the Bib Track between Brookton Highway and Hills Discovery Centre?

There's no ignoring that there is still a tight spot in my right calf that has been there since Adventurethon. It's usually worst just when I start and loosens off, but not entirely during running. I'm a bit apprehensive about what will happen if I try anything significantly longer or faster.
In other news, there's no chance of me being fit enough to really enjoy Sprint Champs, and I got my dates wrong by a week and have a wedding in Geraldton on the weekend of the Middle and Long Champs, so I'm not really sure what I'm training for at the moment. All the races that catch my eye are far too long to consider until adter a good block of training and Easter next year is too far away to keep me going, especially with the prospect of zero bush running in the meantime.
The only 'plus' is that spending a bit of time on the bike for a second year of the Wild WEst Bike Tour won't jeopardise anything. Doesn't really excite me, but I think my teammates will be realying on me even more heavily than last year.
