This morning’s run was a 6.5km easy run according to young Hal Higdon.
You can see the differences in the measuring tools below. I will continue to use the nike+ system but I know the Garmin is more accurate.
Nike+: 7.68km
Garmin 305: 6.69km
Getting up at 5:35am (after the ABC News) was pretty easy and I decided on a different route that took in a couple of climbs that weren’t steep but were long (ish). Anyway, got through them and kept up a steady pace through the run. I think the best part of runs these days is knowing I’ll be taking it steady and finishing off well. The feeling after is awesome.
I know for a while running was a drag but lately (probably mostly mental) I’ve just relaxed into the run and the only rule is to keep running.
The day was overcast but still. One of those days where the drizzle is hardly discernible but refreshing as it hits your face. You don;t end up wet but you know you’ve been in it, if that makes any sense. It certainly cools you down as you run.
Feet and ankles a bit sore but as the run continues that is either blocked out or they just accept that fact that I am running and “get on with it.”
This week I have race planned but I have to pull out of it for 2 reasons:
- it’s Valentines Day – I was going to take the FBH down to the race on the motorbike and the head off somewhere nice for breakfast but …
- I have to fly to the Gold Coast at lunch time so that would really ruin the day for us.
I think V-Day will be Saturday and we’ll go see a movie and have a nice Italian dinner somewhere cheap (i.e. at home) 
Tomorrow is another 100 Push Ups Challenge and I may extend my breaks this time as suggested by Matt. At the end of the day I have to do 100 in a row. How I get there is up to me.
I think the HH run tomorrow is just 5ks.
Hope you are all doing well.
