Sunday Morning - Long Run (5)
Long run day today and the plan was for around 20kms.
I had to run from home because i don't have the car at
present. I had planned to start a bit earlier but stuff it
i am really suffering from lack of sleep at the moment
so i opted for a 9am start. On with the Garmin and out
the door and sort of make it up as i go along. I mostly
followed much of the bike tracks around Knox where
the December HM will be so that was good for a
little familiarisation (spelling?). Anyway i got to 20
in a tick under 2hrs of actual running time and from
there basically treated next 3kms as a very slow
cooldown run. I felt a little discomfort again today
at around 18.5kms but pressed on carefully and now
i feel fine. All in all a pleasing run and another 23kms
in the bank to start the week off. The entire run today
was on bitumen or concrete paths and is largely either
on a gradual uphill or gradual downhill.
EDIT: I went for a walk in the evening at a brisk pace to
try and iron out a little soreness in my legs. Ended up
walking for about 1.5kms.

There's nothing wrong with starting at 9 am, even 1 pm, if you wanted to. As long as it's done. Good stuff.
My long run started on Sunday at 9am as well.
It is a day off and we are entitled to a little sleep in.
