Tired 12K.

Same route round Centennial Park as last two days but quads and glutes were quite tired. 25 degrees and fairly windy at 1pm. Got round in 60.45.

This weekend and the following one I am doing a Quickstart Whitewater Kayaking course at http://www.penrithwhitewater.com.au/html_05/home/index_real.htm Penrith. I have done a bit of flatwater kayaking (including the 2003 Hawkesbury Classichttp://www.canoeclassic.asn.au/ ) but to do the multisport stuff like the http://www.coasttocoast.co.nz/ Coast to Coast in NZ I have to be accredited to do grade 2 rapids- which the follwing two Saturdays and Sundays will give me.

Should be fun!

So There's Been a Lot of Water Under the Bridge....

... in recent months.

Another house move, no WS, now working two jobs- both at the restaurant by night and by day as the WildEndurance Project Manager for the Wilderness Society in Surry Hills, essentially my job is to organise this Trailwalker type event in the Blue Mountains in May next year. Then in the evening I get the train to the mountains and make pizzas.

Not much free time for training but I'm getting organised- morning runs to Emu Plains station and runs in my lunch break. Started dipping my toe back into competitive waters with the Cities Marathon, MaxAdventure Multisport and Sydney Tower Run in recent weeks, all way off what i would do at top fitness but still better than nothing.

The week to date...

Monday- 10K morning run to Emu Plains in 53 minutes
Tuesday- 10K morning run to Emu Plains in 53 minutes again; lunch, 9.5Ks including 4.5K barefoot on McKay Oval
Wednesday- 12K at lunch- to Centennial, 2 laps of the inside fence and back in 60.05
Thursday- 12K at lunch- to Centennial, 2 laps of the inside fence and back in 59.38

Week so far- 53.5K

Been feeling tired (sleep deprived) but can feel some of the old running rhythm slowly returning.
