Week 7 of 18 19.5km | LSD Blkbox and I set off bright and early this morning for the scheduled long run on my Hal Higdon program. Whilst we left at 6.30am, we were not long into it and thinking that maybe we should have started at 5.30am ! Very humid and getting hotter by the minute. I had a map printed and was self appointed navigator. First mistake. ;-) We made our way through Kingsford and Pagewood, then down to Matraville. We were seaching for our turn off (Franklin Street) but unfortunately Franklin Street was that one a few Kms back with the vandalised sign. LOL. So by the time we came across Botany Road we worked out that we were nearly at La Perouse. Oops ! A quick shortcut through a horse paddock had us running north again where we soon enough found Anzac Parade for our return journey. We finished a little trashed from the heat, but overall pretty good. My scrapes from my mid-week stack have pretty much healed except for my ribs which remain pretty bruised and sore. Just don't make me laugh and I'll be OK. :-) Also it seems that I'm on top of my achilles and heel problems now. Give me another week of stretching, ice and a few magic pink pills and I'll be a 100% I reckon. EDIT: I've pulled up really sore in the ribs. Overnight I have been in considerable pain and expect that the run yesterday (my first since the stack) has exacerbated the injury. I'm guessing that 2 hours of arm action has further torn the rib cartilage. Washing the car this morning was agony plus ! Mood: --->
