Sunday Morning - Long Run (Tan)(21.1km/21.1km)
A very nice sunny morning at The Tan today for a long
run. I headed off for the first lap at 8.15am and then
once i got back around to the Morell Bridge i crossed
over the river and did roughly the same loop as the last
time i came here a few weeks ago. This time Garmin
was much better behaved and only paused itself for a
very short time twice. I again decided on two more
laps of The Tan to bring it up to 20kms which i got
to in 1:52:22. I then cooled off with a very slow 1.1kms
to give me HM distance for the day and still under
2hrs. I really do enjoy running there and i'm always
inspired by the great 'scenery"!!! Also as i got to
the start of the Anderson St hill for the second last
time, Gary Moore's "The Loner" started on my MP3 player
which gave me extra motivation to push on up the hill!
By the way at about 18kms Wilco arrived up beside me and
we ran together until i stopped at 20. He was off to do
a few more laps by himself. Total distance 21.1kms


Saturday - Rest Day
No training today. A little running around kicking a
soccer ball with Fleur in the morning while at Jack's
soccer game.

Paul, sounds like an enjoyable run, nice and fresh and a flat enjoyable course around the Tan and surrounding areas.

Love the pic too.

Great pic of the Yarra. I reckon on such a beautiful day the 'scenery' would have been out in force?
