Run 1:15:00 [3] 10.0 km (7:30 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 14 -new pair
Fingal Bay to Tomaree and return. Struggled up Tomaree and then walked a lot on the way back. Too hot to be running at midday, lucky there was a breeze for a change.
Saw an enormous goanna between Zenith & Wreck beaches. Glad it ran up a nearby tree & not me.

Run 50:00 [3] 7.0 km (7:09 / km)

Splash-fest run with Paula. Riverside track completely submerged in places and raging torrent down one of the side creeks so we ran back on the road from Porter's Creek. It did not rain too badly while we were out, but it was extreme before & after. I am over the rain and cold.

Summer Series at Manly. Stopped for 5 minutes to assist a lady who'd collapsed. There were 3 of us trying and we still couldn't hold her upright!
460 total, should have made 500 for the first time this year...

A late afternoon run in the cool, drizzly rain with Paula. Definitely the right time of day to run today. Killer grass seeds on Paula's track makes me hope my new shoes arrive soon.
A bit wheezy at the start but cleared up after a bit.

With the Saturday morning crowd. A convenient starting location for me as I got the #1 parking spot at Athletics. Eoin & Aoife rode over later and we got to drive home in the heat (it would not have been a pleasant ride a 10:30am).
Ran across the river, to the National Park and up Bluegum Creek, crossed over Fullers Rd, down beside the Golf course and back along the river. A bit humid but nice temp for running. Ankle twist on the road, just before the Golf Course, a bit hobbly after that.

Almost didn't do this, glad I did. Nose still running, but sinuses have cleared. Took it quite easy running as I did not want to aggravate anything and did not want to slip in the wet. Made fewer mistakes than usual as a result. Ran off the map on way to 26, debated getting 28 should probably have left it, skipped 8 as did not want to go down hill (and back up). 2 minutes late. 430 points.

Event: Bare Creek Trail Run
8 AM
Run 1:09:58 [1] 10.02 km (6:59 / km) +248m 6:13 / km
(sick) shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 14 -new pair
A complete debacle at the Bare Creek Trail run. I had a plan of how to improve in last year's effort (take it easy for the first few km then get into the rhythm, run the hill steady, but all the way, then take the remainder as hard as I could).
Didn't get much sleep - I thought it was hay fever, but after drugs failed to make any improvement I think its sinus/cold.
Did not feel too bad starting, but around 3km got the heavy chest feeling again, backed off but proceeded to get weaker. Decided by 4.5km I would not be racing - at that point I was even having trouble running down hill. Walked most of the way back. I jogged a few places, but not strong. Quite embarrassing getting passed by so many people...
Finished off with Lisa Linssen which was a nice way to do it.
Paula & Barbara again did fantastically!

Very tough session and quite warm too, came out with the shakes and did not really improve all day. Also used weights and now have sore upper arms.

Roseville Bridge - Acron Oval (St Ives) with Paula - a repeat of the run we did earlier in the year, this time a bit shorter, to meet Mark & Ewan near the start of next week's run.
Felt better than last time & better than yesterday (it was a lot cooler than last time but still warm by the end). Ran the whole way, including the hill at the end which was a slog but nice to do. Now to see if I can run the whole way in next week's race...

Evening run with Paula. Late training is a bit of a novelty, I might need to do some more soon... A beautiful evening out by the river so really enjoyable.
Fartlekky session with a few hard sections on the hills (4 or 5 surges I think). Feeling a bit tired from yesterday, Paula very sprightly on the hills. Glad I went out!

Uringa event at Concord. I wonder if I annoyed anyone enough to get myself disqualified this time...
520 points so pretty good for me. I could have gotten 3 extra 10 pointers, but could feel myself slowing down so progressively ditched them from my plan. Lost a bit of time at a few road crossings, most notably about 30sec, just 3 minutes from the end, so the ditching paid off.
Nice flat area.

Yoga 1:00:00 [3]
About time! That was very hard work today and I still fell stiff, sore and unco.
Missed out on post-yoga hill reps with Paula - too much work today :(
