6:45am Spit to Manly & return starting from Balmoral with Bull. The early start was rewarded by a gob smacking sunrise and a comfortable run over to Manly. A little warmer and a little faster for the return journey finishing up with a dip at Balmoral.

A bit confronting running in a new pair of shoes to realise how dead the old ones were. It appears as though the midsoles in the old ones had flattened and spread in width by half a cm thru the ball of the foot.

I'm calling it - best lunch run ever.

Started at Pyrmont bridge with Bart and 8km tempo around the waterfront out to Wayward brewery in Glebe. Consistent 3:35m/k's for the first 3k whence I started to fade somewhere before km 4 and Bart drifted ahead. Thru' 5k in 18:30 and hung on until we reached Wayward right on their opening time of 2pm, ordered a paddle and hit the arcade machine.

Crushed by Bart on free Pac man, galaga, donkey kong, Frogger, Space invaders and Galaxian... finishing off with the paddle with the Youngs double chocolate stout, and then an entertaining 3k tempo back to the city...before switching back in to serious corporate warrior mode.

Good times.

Cruisy jog

Tuesday evening loop from near Tom's gym up into Oxford Falls for an evening bush loop. Felt really tired and the weather pretty foreboding but nice to be out.

Recovery run over to Wenty park and back via the wharves....not that I had anything to recover from.
