Mid-week update

I'm glad everyone enjoyed the photos of the Capital City Trail. Dave - it has just two or three road crossings in Carlton (I think) but each is traffic light controlled from memory - but maybe one isn't I'm not exactly sure.

Thankfully I pulled up really well from my long run on Sunday and despite feeling tired legged for a couple of days there has been no real soreness and my Tuesday and Wednesday runs were great for working out any residual tiredness - both were 9k runs and I ran them at a comfy 5:30 pace at lunch time. Okay, so they were slightly long lunches once you add in a shower etc!

Mixing up my mid-week runs to midday instead of mornings has allowed me to get more much needed sleep this week and has taken away some of the repetition that was creeping into my training. Running the Tan again - which I haven't done for 9 months or so has been really refreshing and reminds me that I need to vary the courses I run a bit more. It is also great to get out of my cube at work instead of working all the time.

I have just got back from a great 1/2hr leg massage from a local Myotherapist. She is great at working out knots before they develop into anything more serious. Having brought forward my rest day to today I will run 10-12k in the morning and end the week on a high. That is provided I don't end up too sore from the massage!
