Thursday's surprise

I ran my usual 14k loop today with no expectations of anything special.

I mid July I ran it in 69 minutes @ 4.59. Last Thursday with no marathon the previous Sunday I ran it in 73.56 and that was the quickest since the July run. Today 72.15 and it felt easy. Go figure that out. But I will take it.

A nice warm morning in Sydney. It was very pleasant to walk out the door with just a long sleeve top and feel very comfortable. It could have been short sleeve but I like to feel comfortable when I start and deal with the heat generated as I go. Probably no taper for this marathon as I will train through. Yes no respect for the distance but I feel okay and am enjoying my running.
