Half !

I honestly felt like I needed to sleep for a couple of days to recharge my body. After a days work I just wanted to Vege on the couch or sleep. It was a struggle to push myself out the door but I couldn't find any excuses not to go. The plan was to run at least 20k and easy. A walk up the road with a few stretches and as I turned to start my run I heard a koala grunting. Standing in the middle of the road listening to the koala grunting away my heart started to beat a bit harder and I set off. A little quicker than I would have liked but I controlled my breathing and was feeling good. Apart from dropping my water bottle twice and getting the odd scream from Neanderthals in cars the run went well.
All up 21.5k at 5:07 pace and boy was I happy with that. Coming home I had a couple of bursts and could have gone harder but held back. A little sprint to finish off and my confidence was boosted by the run.
Tonight a real easy 15-16k.
Take care
