Subsonic Sundailies (10/06/07)

Long run day today... Day off yesterday while Mrs Dwarf and the boy nicked off to the footy.

Distance: 20km
Time: 8am

Conditions: Cool, sunny, frosty at the outset, warmish at the finish.

Surface: Gravel, undulating hills.

Route: Millgrove -> Wesburn -> Yarra Junction -> Launching Place and back again.

Summary: Fingers felt like they were going to drop off at the start, the sun had yet to come up over the mountain and the sky was crystal clear. By the time I got to the 5k mark I was pretty much shrouded in my own personal envelope of warm. 10k I had to stop for a quick wee, one of the benefits of running in less populated areas. Turned around an headed back feeling pretty good. Knees started to really feel it after about 17-18k.

Time on my feet: 2hrs 5min.

Great run mate!

8M Low slow day
Conditions : 12 clear, nightime

Surface : Roadbase/Tar, Concrete, grass, sandstone steps

Route : Randwick down to Coogee, along the coast path then up Bondi road and back home via Frenchmans Road.

Run report : Just wouldn't stop raining all day, again... I made a mistake wearing my old shoes to run in (I didn't want to get my new ones wet) and my back has been hurting all day... in fact I didn't sleep so well because of it. Was going to bail on this run but thought better of it, and headed out for a night run... good fun! tough going and running through a cemetary at night is pretty spooky... the run up Bondi Road was tough going (hilly) but I managed it got home to a meal of camp oven cooked roasted lamb.... awesome! my back is still tender today but getting better I'll rest it today and see how I feel on Tuesday.

Spent most of yesterday carving up firewood, so adding that on top of a 20k run meant I slept like a log last night. Pretty shitty weather here and my knees are playing up so I'll probably not go out today.
