22K Road Run.

THURSDAY 25/10/07, 9AM, 22K (1.58, 5.22min/km), WEEK TO DATE 42.5K

Worked from home today. Set out on a drizzly, cool morning around 9am to run from home to Winamlee Shops and back, via Waratah and Tusculum Roads and the Hawkesbury Rd bikepath.

The coursestarts at 280m ASL and rolls a bit for the first couple of Ks, then there is a steady climb to around 400m ASL at the Hawkesbury Rd Reservoir. Then a rolling descent to 310m ASL again. I tacked on an extra couple of kilometres by running out to the end of White Cross Rd and back once I'd reached the shops.

My legs were wondering what the hell was going on for the first couple of kms (quads still pounded from Spin y'day) then I got into a pretty good rhythm for such hilly ground. Felt a bit rough on the way back but overall a pretty good pace for a fairly hilly course, quite pleasing.
