16.72km | LSD Week 2 of 11 I met CooRunners BlkBox, Sydney Gal & Dawn Runner at the Darley Road gates of Centennial Park bright and early. The heavy rain from the night before had petered out and the cloud cover kept the temperature to double figures. This made perfect running weather. We ran the same route as a week or two ago; through Centennial Park and then down to the city via Oxford Street, then down to the harbour, Farm Cove, Woolloomooloo and then back to the park via Randwick Race Course. Last time we ran this route my GPS measured it at bang on 15km, but Google Earth plotted it at 16.72km this morning. I think it was overcast last time we ran so GPS drop outs may play a part in the discrepancy. Who knows which is correct ? We all ran at a comfortable pace and reached the Opera House in about 40 minutes I think. I felt very tight in the calves and hammies again and had to stop and stretch once or twice to loosen up. By the time we got to Anzac Parade my calves were complaining a fair bit as was Dawn Runner's ankle. Blkbox suggested that Dawn Runner walk for a spell so Sydney Gal and I headed back to Centennial Park solo. We even ramped it up a notch or two for the last Km. I finished feeling OK but admittedly was hobbling around most of Saturday afternoon with stiff and sore muscles. Note: More stretching required Marty ! Mood: --->
