Australia Day 7 - Monday 22nd March - Week 25

Here we are. Now in week 25 of week 25. This time next week it will all be over. Will I be sad? Will I be happy? Will I be ecstatic? Insufferable? I know I'll be stiff and sore, but that's the price to be paid.

Training today consisted of a hard run. Not a long run, a hard run. The picture to the left shows the route taken and the graphic to the right the heart rate trace. The session I opted for was an 11km run with the first and last 2km's (well, I'm here in Australia and they think in kilometers) as a warm up and warm down. The middle 7km harder and faster at approaching half marathon pace. Afraid I didn't quite make that. It proved to be really hot and muggy. Sweat was dripping off me and palms were soaked.

The rest of the day was spent chilling out either in the appartment or down at Flynns Beach. After the heat of the morning the afternoon felt cool. The car's temperature gauge still read 27C but with some wind and cloud cover it wasn't sunbathing weather.

Read Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. Must now get myself the next book.
