Wheee! I was a bit scared of this run, not at all confident I could survive a long run because that half marathon and its terrible terrible pain is still fresh in my mind, but I had to do something long to make up for not doing the long ride today. Started with Dave Eltringham's group but they split up pretty quickly, and I trotted at the back with Jo and Brownie. It was a lovely scenic run, there were industrial estates, winding country roads, art galleries, harbours, wetlands of international significance, suspension bridges, endless white beaches with clear turquoise water, lots of entertaining conversation, not a breath of wind and a perfect cool morning. My legs felt GREAT, I could have kept going for ever. The bit I enjoyed the most were the big steps up the Woody Lake walking trail, weird. Just felt strong. Brownie and I had a sprint finishat the end, then I jogged back for Jo. She wouldn't stop at the coffee cat though, had to run to the end of the car park to make it up to 18km. GPS junkies...
Afterwards we had a quick swim, a coffee in the sunshine and threw a huge mallee root for Graham Jacobs' dog.
I really like running after that. Home by 7.45 too, amazing. T1 and T2 in good form this morning, they were having some kind of head-banging competition.
Maybe I will run again one day.

Long slow ride with Sarah, scenic loop + stearnes rd.
Just when we were thinking, oh, should've brought money for the coffee cat, a fortuitous tall man in a ute drove past and offered to buy us coffee. Nice.

To Blue Haven and back with Lara

Group of 3 when we started but 15 by the time we passed James st. Good pace too, average of 34 according to quenten when I pulled out at johns st to come home. Wheee!

Scenic loop with Gen. The hilly bit was ok, turned out to be because we had a massive tail wind for that section. The way home was harder :-(

Fun off-roady run around the Dempster Head trails and West Beach. Quick swim then home. Nice way to start the day :-)
