Week 14 of 18 14km | easy Yesterday afternoon I had no intention of going for a run. Too tired and basically CBF. Then I visited PortRunner's blog who is also making his Canberra debut and he put me to shame. He's a model of consistancy compared to me. That was enough motivation to get me out the door and off my lazy arse. Thanks Paul. I found it tough going on the hard pavement of Oxford Street and the City. My legs were complaining big time running down Macquarie Street. By the time I got down to the Opera House however it all seemed to turn around. Maybe because it's so beautiful down there at night. The Harbour Bridge was looking majestic and of course the Opera House was looking amazing. It's a special place for me as I got married to the Bride in the northern foyer of the Concert Hall overlooking the harbour 17 years ago. After a lap around the OH, I ducked down and ran along Circular Quay then up Phillip Street towards home. Thankfully the second half of my run seemed easier than the first and the run back over Oxford Street seemed to be over in just a few minutes. Oh, I was wearing my Sydney Striders singlet (when will I get to race with them again ?) and got a "GO STRIDER" call from the other side of the road around Paddinghurst. Mood: --->
