Running 50:00 [3]
Somewhat spontaneous decision to run Summer Series, as it occurred to me during the day that it would be within a 10minute jog from the office, near Luna Park.
Trotted down the hill, completely under-dressed for what must have been one of the coldest December days for a while. The heavy rain and wind didn't help, but gee it was chilly.
Started together with Andy and had a great time, albeit somewhat irresponsible, dashing around Milson's Point and North Sydney in peak hour traffic - both car and human variety. Got gapped 30sec by Andy after a few km even though I was ahead, when he was able to use momentum to pick a break in traffic. Caught up again when he missed a laneway, and off we went again. Heaps of fun running in the heavy rain once you'd warmed up.
Pulled up with a k to go when the left calf started to complain. Was running in low heeled Innov8 ('casue that's all I had with me at work) - somewhat ambitious after lots of calf use at whacking the night before and havent run in them on the road before. Bit of a shame, as had felt very comfortable on the running front today.
Froze my butt off walking back to the office.
