A good 10ker.

Thursday 08/06/06:

After running two days in a row, I took today off, so I'll be in a position to run the next three in a row. Having tomorrow off work means I'll be able to do a longer run and go out a bit later than I usually have to during the week.

Headed straight out to the airport after work, which is just 10 mins away. Collected my sister and took her home to surprise our Mum, which came off brilliantly! A good time was had by all. Later I had a meeting to attend at school, so my sister was on babysitting, which is a real novelty to her!

Friday 09/06/06:

Headed out on my run at 7am, around the local streets. Due to low cloud and rain overnight, it was no where near as cold today, so I wore my usual cap rather than the beanie. Still put gloves on though... but had to take them off after 20mins or so:

Brisk walk warmup: 5mins
Steady paced run: 50mins (10km)
Brisk walk cooldown: 5mins

So out for an hour all up and it was great to be running when everyone else was heading to work! Usually I enviously watch other runners as I'm sitting in the traffic, trying to get to work!
Pace was good, felt comfortable enough throughout, but challenged in places as well. It was a mainly flat loop, with just a few undulations.

Spent the rest of the day shopping with my sister, drinking too many coffees and eating way too much food! Oh and spending too much money of course! Later on we are planning on having a few vinos at a new bar that has opened up nearby... better go and see if Mum will babysit!
