SMC Half Marathon and Tuesday

It was the monthly Club run at SMC on Sunday. Saturday in Sydney was just rain with brief sunny periods then more heavy rain. It looked like Sunday would be wet and unpleasant however Sydney turned on a dry, still and cool perfect Autumn morning.
 
With the marathon last week and so there was no intention other than to run solid and even paced and get back some slow but solid endurance. That is what I need at the moment to prepare for the second half of the year and the marathon feast planned.
 
The morning went as planned with a 1.43.xx with the last 5k was the quickest of the morning. Almost back to where I was 3 months ago.
 
No run on Monday. Passive rest.
 
A lap of the Bay in about 4.50 pace. And a tough little hill session (with 5 up & downs laps - it only about 360m for 1 complete lap) with 2 sets of about 9 minutes each. A cool but beautiful morning around the Bay.
