Tunnel Run

The tunnel run is over. 10.435 K in 47min 35sec. Never again to be experienced and an experience not quickly forgotten. It was a very tough and very hot run. I was so glad to exit that tunnel.

Tunnel Vision

I had a good run this morning. I was pleasantly surprised when I finished to find that I had run the 14k in 1:08. That makes me fell better about the 10k run in the Clem7 Tunnel on Sunday.

Running the Clem7 tunnel, a new 4.8K tunnel under Brisbane City, is a once off opportunity. The tunnel opens to traffic next month.

A Hug from Tesso

During my long run yesterday, I was fortunate to bump into Tesso who gave me a hug and some encouragement.

I hadn't planned on 34K when I set out at 4:40AM from Park Road but that what I ended up doing. I was pleased with my 5:06 average pace. I am breaking in my new shoes and, as always happens to me with new shoes, the soles of my feet become very sore and painful. I have to persevere though, because I want them well and truly ready for London.

A little cooler

It was a little cooler this morning but the humidity was still high. I ran my Augusta Parkway out and back course this morning. I felt like I was running faster than I actually did. I don't think that is good. It is better the other way round.

Sunday not funday

my Sunday long run started from Park Road at 4:55AM. I could tell straight away that it was gong to be a tough run. the humidity was very high. Once the sun rose over the horizon I started to feel like I was really battling. I stuck to the river and the flat course. I was surprised that I was able to maintain an average of 5:12 per k. I was very glad to arrive back at Park road.

Toasty and his mates ran past me like I was standing still.

A pleasing run

It was another beautiful morning in paradise. I ran out along the Augusta Parkway past the Brookwater Golf Course. A glorious concrete footpath all the way. I started out a bit slow but managed to pick up the pace and finish with an averae pace of 4:58 for the 14K. So I am smiling. I am conscious that London is getting closer. This Sunday I have 34K on the schedule and am still unsure as to which course I will run from Park Road.

My Sunday Long run

I ran a 32K circuit from home today. It is undulating country so I found it a bit tiring. All the gory detail are available via the attached link.

I had a message from Tigger this morning. She is not happy. She dislocated her knee and broke a rib at the 60K mark.

New Shoes

On Sunday 24 January I got on the wiggle.co.uk site and ordered a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10 shoes. They were $100 cheaper then what I can buy locally and delivered free. They arrived yesterday and this morning they had their first run. That's not bad is it.

I recently bought a Lumix camera on line and saved over $200 against local prices. Robyn is very impressed and says I can do all the Christmas shopping on line this year.

Once again I have uploaded my Garmin to Garmin connect and you can view the course and results of this mornings run. This was my 14K circuit from home.
