Running long 1:31:26 [3] 20.82 km (4:23 / km) +338m 4:04 / km
Long run at a solid pace on my Yarra Boulevard 20km course.
My aim was to run 20km over an undulating course in 90 minutes, similar to some runs that I did in August and September last year.
As it turned out, I felt quite good, and I was able to run under 87 minutes without too much effort and feeling good. It's a good sign. Hopefully it means that coming out of my base phase I am fitter than I was 6 months ago.
This morning was also very pleasant, running in 15 degree conditions, rather than the 30+ last Sunday morning.
The Yarra was up higher again this morning, probably another 2m from yesterday. This was the highest I have seen since November 2004, with the level 30cm below the top of the information sign under the pipe bridge. On the 2004 occasion it was 5cm from the top of the sign.
I'll track my weight for the next few weeks to see if I can keep up with Anne's "pork off" competition at her gym.
