Bloody Cold

I haven't blogged in a while due to work and the severe cold weather that has curbed my enthusiasm a bit. We have had another round of flu go through the house.

Had an enjoyable run in the Woodford to Glenbrook event 25k about 2/3s downhill. Got to 10k in 57mins and then managed to finish in 120min. Had fun early by pushing kids on their bikes up the hills and chatting to runners. Talked to Mike and Stef along the way, and after the finish we ran from Euroka Clearing to Glenbrook station in the pouring rain. (now that was a steep climb)

I have fitted in quite a few good long runs on Sundays and a few shorter ones through the week. Yesterday I ran in the Sutherland to Surf 11k (44 even) and then ran the return leg back to Sutherland. Also saw Mike and Stef and several Sydney Striders.

Feeling more motivated now.

Cathedral Run

Due to high winds work was cancelled so I was able to fit in a pleasant 1hr 20min run to the Cathedral then Congwong Bay, Lapa and Malabar. All good. No time for exercise lately as the work deadlines and end of FY have meant that money is the master. It was great to get out today though, very good stress buster.
