Aussie Day long run in some light rain with Mat and Mikko. Had previously decided not to run this morning but Mat and Mikko were keen so figured I could always do one today and one with the remainder of the usual crew on Sun or Mon. Followed a nice route that skirts the slopes of Coot-tha from the back of Indooroopilly round to Gap Ck, then up Highwood Rd Tr, Summit, Frosties and finally home.
Highlight of the run was steep pinch at the 3km mark that caused a corresponding pinch in my right calf — just a tightening and not a big twang thankfully. Decided to give it away a km and bit later but Mikko convinced me to continue. It was never comfortable yet not painful either. On the plus side, I felt much better physically than last week.
I have to take my hat of to Mat, who decided that this loop was going to be too short and headed down Toilet Block from Channel 9 and eventually arrived back 30min after me.
