Run 2:01:00 [3] 21.3 km (5:41 / km)
Down on the Peninsula for the day and took the opportunity to do something akin to one of my classic Peninsula runs, with Sorrento at one end and Number Sixteen beach at the other. I can't remember ever being here in winter before, so it was a bit of a novelty to see the foreshore without campers and the football ground with football (Sorrento v Rosebud, which I imagine is a bit of grudge match).
This was one of the tougher runs I've done this year - no big hills but lots of small ups and downs, and a certain amount of soft sand. Found this reasonably hard work and my quads were suffering a bit at times. Kept plugging away, though, and the end result was something that sometimes happens - after getting through a tough middle, it became a good finish as the terrain got easier (it's always a good sign when the four fastest kilometres of a run are the last four). Didn't get a sense of regretting that I won't be out there for 3 1/2 hours next weekend, but still a solid day's work.
