Ouch it was cold at 4 am this morning. Well that was my reasoning for going back to bed for another hour. I was only out for a +21k run, so a 5am start was on the cards.
I did aim for about 5:20- 5:30 pace without looking at Garmin. The first 7k felt terrible then I got into a rhythm and I felt good.
At 17k I could feel the legs stretching and I was holding back a faster finish. Even the last k down hill I held back and was happy to get home comfortable. No niggles no hassles ans No water/sports drink needed along the way.
All up 21.5k in 1:48hrs and it was nice.
It was my sympathy run for missing the jetty to jetty half.
Oh well there is always next year.
Taper down this week, no real k's or hard pushes just short easy run's.
Next Saturday Easy or very easy 50k and enjoy it.
Take care
