Dreaming....

Saturday 05/08/06:

Took the usual rest day on Friday.

On Saturday I headed out at 8am and it was very cloudy and overcast, not the weather I'd been hoping for on a weekend! No need for beanie or gloves though, still enjoying fairly mild temps.
Quite restricted to where I can run from home at the moment, in order to stay away from any hills. In general, most of Auckland is fairly hilly (plenty of volcanoes!) and my area is no different. Did a familiar loop and was daydreaming so much at one point that I forgot to turn where I was meant to, in order to avoid a hill. I was so far on by the time I realised, that I really had to keep going. It meant going up one hill, but it wasn't too long or too steep and I felt OK, just hoped the hamstring wouldn't react later on... Kept it fairly short today as was restricted for time, and planned to do a longer run tomorrow.

Brisk walk warm up: 5mins
Steady paced run: 40mins (8km)
Brisk walk cool down: 5mins

Got a text from my sister today who is in London on business. She was so excited as she had just been for a "jog" along the Thames, past Buckingham Palace and lots of other landmarks!
What fun, it would be sooooooooo cool to do the London Marathon one day.
