Nat dragged me out for a recovery run before the rain. Not as cold and miserable as expected, and although sluggish getting started made it to the end and I think felt better for it. I had woken up very tired and sore with a few niggles. Most sorted out by the end.

A massively long run today but it actually was no too bad (not that I was saying that at almost 2 hours!). From Nat's, through the Pinnacle , Karma nature reserve, Arboretum and back via Kangaroo paddocks. We made it to 18 km along Lyttleton and walked to coffee from there as a bit of a much needed stretch. The fog rolled in just before 7, had been clear earlier! It stayed foggy for the whole run, quite wet fog too. We ended up with wet shoes, Nat's more so than mine, and the squelch sound broke up the tough moments :) A few hesitations for direction, made more difficult by not being able to see any landmarks! Also quite a few fence crossing stops... Hamstrings started to feel tight just before top of arboretum, and knees seizing up by the bottom of Aranda Hill. Felt surprisingly ok (relatively speaking) afterwards.

A quick middle of the day run with Nat. Felt pretty woeful but it was lovely and warm out, almost hot! I tad been a busy morning with plumber, floors and car issues to attend to alongside work. 3 months after the storm, my car (which was in the carport!) has been written off. I get to keep it though.

Lunchtime escape with Aoife. So nice outside today!
