18km Tempo Run Scrivener Dam

Untimely rain in the morning, at lunch and at knock off work time left me with no option but an 18km run on bike path after work. It was peak bike commuter time which meant speeding up to get right of way through the puddles at times. Splits much quicker than two days ago starting at 4:50/km working down to low 4:00s/km. I felt comfortable throughout, just a hint of a niggle in the calf.

Tomorrow an easy running day. Saturday Parkrun. If i have no niggles I should run low 17 minutes.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
