Run 2:09:00 [3] 24.0 km (5:23 / km)
Back to business in a Proper Thursday Long Run - out the door on the stroke of 6 and going for something meaningfully more than two hours. Went north this time - reasonably flat and suburban for most of the first half, out as far as Edwardes Lake, but some better stuff in the second half in the Merri Creek valley (although path works further north made it too hard for me to get into my favourite Merri running kilometre).
A steady-without-sparkle first half, but got better in the second half and pretty happy with the way I was feeling in the last half-hour; tired, yes, but flowing pretty well (the last couple of kilometres were the fastest of the run). If I'm feeling like this 2.10 into next weekend I'll be reasonably confident about being able to find the next hour or so from somewhere. Would have liked to have taken it out to 2.10 but the 8.12 cutoff (to get back out of the house in time to make a train) was beckoning.
Back was starting to hint at trouble in the middle but settled again later.
Would probably have preferred not to have a 10pm teleconference tonight. (This evening's body corporate meeting, however, was a good deal less fraught than what I was used to at my former premises).
