Bay City Roller

This seems like a good name for my long run today which involved a lap of the Bay and then in to the city and back, with some hills along the way. After a few weeks of disappointing runs and feeling like I am getting nowhere, today I felt great and REALLY enjoyed my run. :) I completed 27k in 2:34 and my average speed was 5:41. I felt like I kept a good comfortable steady pace the whole way. Although I enjoy running with Tom, it was nice to run alone and go completely at my own pace, no pressure and no one to feel grumpy towards when its hurting.
I am still undecided about doing the Sydney marathon or half marathon, but am thinking I would really like to do Mt Wilson to Mt Bilpin. We are off tomorrow for 2 weeks holiday in Darwin (yippee), so the plan is to see how everything is going when we get back. We will try to run up there, but between the weather and some overnight hikes we may not manage many ks.

Sick or just a recovery week

After another solid week last week that I was reasonably happy with, this week has become a write-off for me with a cold. :( I am trying to see it as a positive thing, an opportunity to recover really well, ward off injuries etc, but I still feel a little miserable.

I am/was really hoping to do the Striders 10k on Saturday and then Woodford to Glenbrook on Sunday this weekend, but at the moment that seems unlikely. I am at home today, in bed with the laptop, taking lots of tablets and potions and hoping for the best.
