Early morning park run.
14km | moderate | no watch
My run today was at first light. Amazingly the park was full of runners and cyclists. Why are these crazy people all out at 5.30am ? The weather was cool and overcast which was perfect for a run (and everything else it seems).
My shins felt OK and I felt average to fair for the first lap of the two parks (7km). From there I started to feel much better and finished the run feeling pretty much on top of my game. Just as I ran into my driveway the heavens opened with a heavy downpour. Excellent timing !
Based on my run today - I'm in for the Central Coast Half next Sunday. I will run on the soft sand on Monday (45:00) & Wednesday (30:00) down at Bondi, then static bike on Friday to finish the taper.
Not sure how I will go trying to hang on to the 1:50 train, but nevertheless very much looking forward to it all.

Very nice blog. I like the layout and way you have done it. I also find it fasinating how so many people get out to run at 5:30am....they must think the same aswell :-)
Keep up the good work and I hope that you run well in the half marathon.
Good on you!!! I hope you have a great run and those shins hold up!!! I love running in the park... it is such a nice change to the road- and you never get bored, just take a different direction, road or little path and it is a different run!
take it easy this week and enjoy Sunday! I wish I could make it up there... that is two years running it has clashed! Maby next year.
Woohoo - you're in!
Look forward to you dragging me along on that 1.50 train :-)
Excellent news Gronk!
Glad that hear that your shins are holding up well. See you on Sunday,
J.
Great to hear that you're confirmed for the weekend Gronk!
