La Perouse
Week 6 of 15
25km | LSD | 2:28:21
It was pissing down at 6.15am. I mean big fat drops and lots of them. Footpaths were streams and roads were rivers, well not quite - but you get the drift. A little water wasn't going to stop this intrepid runner so I kitted and lubed up and set on my way. Lubed up ? I had vaso between the toes, bodyglide on my nooks and sportsshield in my crannies. I had so much lube on that I felt like Des Renford ready to take on the English Channel. LOL
Apart from the rain (which I lurve actually) I was feeling in the pocket. No niggles and full of energy. I bumped into CR Anne Victor along Doncaster Ave. She was heading out to La Perouse as well but she suggested that I go ahead because I was a very fast runner. LOL thanks Anne thats both you and my 6yo daughter who think that I'm a fast runner - but hey I'll take it !
I bumped into Anne on the home leg out Little Bay way and I trundled my way home from there. Nothing else to report other than a little niggle in the left achilles at times but I worked out that it was due to the camber in the road (running against the traffic my left foot is higher than the right) so I tried to run on the footpath where possible. Must remember to avoid the camber when I run Canberra.
Happy days !
With all that lube on, you certainly slipped through that run. Nice one Gronk, and the best part, being reaffirmed as a very fast runner :)
Good work on the long run there Gronk.
A very experienced marathoner/ultra runner I know (combined total over 70) tells me she'd rather run in the middle of the road and risk getting hit by a car than on the camber and risk getting ITBFS.
A great traditional Sunday LSD run- top effort.

heheh how are your crooks and nannies?? Solid marathon build up, Gronk. Noice.
Great to hear you're cruising nicely through the long runs. Gold.
