 | Running 2:03:59 [3]25.2 km (4:55 / km) | |
| |
| am: Two torturous circuits of Kings Pk. Actually felt quite comfortable in the first 45 min (which is a pleasant change!!) until the usual long run fatigue started to creep in. Thought about throwing in a gratuitous climb up the Kokoda path near the end of circuit number 2, but when the time came to do the deed it didn't seem quite so appealing.
Left ankle started hurting all of a sudden at about 80min (anterior aspect). I stopped and stretched a couple of times, which seemed to help, but by the end it was getting pretty sore. I'd noticed some soreness there in the past few days but didn't think much of it. I'll have to keep an eye on it now.
Interestingly, I noticed that many of the taps/bubblers in Kings Pk are turned off. Only 1 of the 4 that I stopped at was actually working :-( Might have to carry water with me in future. |

| Passed the 100,000 km mark in early March this year. I originally thought I would make it in Nov or Dec, but I found an old, partially complete training diary from 1989 that wasn't accounted for in my original calculations. That added another 2648km to the running total, which now stands at 102,321 km. |

Thursday Nov 1 |
| Running 1:02:39 [2]10.6 km (5:55 / km) | |
| |
| am: Mega run with The Reverend. City to the river, along the river to the foot of the Mount Eliza scarp, up the Kokoda path to the top, then a loop in Kings park and return. The pace was frantic. Fortunately the Rev was taking it a bit easier than normal. Good thing I don't have to run with him all that often :-) |
