01.03.19 First day of Spring

This morning air was still full of humidity and the temperature about 21. Sadly daylight saving is coming to an end so the sunrise is not happen until after 6.30 am. At the end of the month of March NSW will revert to normal time and then the sun will start rising an hour earlier. But in the meantime the sunrise will continue to get later until it gets to about 7.00 am.

There was nothing special about the run this morning of 15k. The first half is mostly hills and the second half flat. It was a steady pace with it a bit quicker on the second half.

I am running the Orange Marathon Sunday. I nice challenging out and back course on fairly deserted country roads with a small about of dirt. I have had a large range of results here:

2014                    3.34.56
2015                    4.17.03
2016                    5.40.13
2017                    4.59.31
2018                    4.55.09

2016 was there year I had just got out of hospital and probably should not have run. This year under 5 would be a reasonable expectation for where my fitness is at the moment and that is the general race plan. So a 4.55 finish would get the thumbs up and then focus on the next marathon in a few weeks.
