25K Round Euroka and the Oaks.

THURSDAY 4/1/06, 5AM, 25K (2.18, 5.31min/km), 4 HOURS SLEEP, SHOES: LOCO MOJO

First run since the food poisoning, although I did sweat buckets at Spin on Tuesday night.

Shogun was back from holidays so we ran our usual loop via the Causeway and up the Oaks, this time we turned around at the Woodford Gate which is a few hundred metres beyond the usual turn at the Oaks Picnic Ground- this was due to our mutual agreement that a 25K run just looks better in the diary than a 24.5K run. Return via Bennetts Ridge and Euroka Campground, up the big hill, down to the Causeway, up the next big hill and home.

Felt fairly good myself, we didn't push the pace but did knock out a few sub 4.50min/Ks coming down Bennetts. Shogun was moving well early but later we slowed a bit as he got a stitch. It was raining lightly as we set off and there was fog lingering in the streets, gorges and on the hills till after were done.

Good to be back.
