Bondi slug
11km | easy | 63:43
Week 4 of 13
I was supposed to head out at 5.30am this morning for my run, but with one of the kids sick with the flu my sleep was somewhat disrupted. Needless to say that with only 5 hours sleep I wasn't in exactly jumping out of my skin this morning.
My legs were feeling heavy, weary and a bit sore around the ankles as I ran through the start of Queens Park. So much so that I had to stop and stretch again when I got to Clovelly Road. By the time I got down to the beaches my legs were OK, but I found it really hot in the strong morning sun. I wore my fuel belt with the new larger bottles and tried to replace as much fluid as possible, but I was swimming in sweat by the time that I got time I got to Bondi.
The long grind up Bondi Road to home wasn't exactly pleasant.
I finished feeling pretty crappy and noticed that I was 1.5kgs lighter than from when I started. Mucho gatorade to be consumed this morning me thinks.
