Running
8.5Km in 45:43, average pace 5:22
A slower pace today, quite a hilly course and the air was very heavy with the smoke still this morning. In fact when I finished I had a bit of a coughing fit. Still pretty pleased with the effort as I had to get going at 5:30 to get it done, some may call that mad, others may call it dedicated, I just call it necessary because today turned into a right stinker. And I did the extra 500mtres purely because the .5 on my log was bugging me 
I had my first massage in ages tonight and I feel pretty damn good now. There was some hard work but either it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be or I have just gotten used to it. I’ll be keeping these up pretty regularly through the winter to help with my recovery. It also helps that my MT is a top chick and also a club runner so it was great to have a catch up as well (and also keeps my mind off things).
Looks like the hot weather is here for at least another day, 38 degrees forecast for tomorrow, so looks like another early morning for me.
Holiday
I haven’t had a proper break since last July, no wonder I have lost my mojo at work. As soon as my boss gets back next week I’ll be putting in for a week in February then it’s straight onto the net to book a flight to the Gold Coast. I miss my sister heaps and armed with Vicky’s Summer Sangria recipe we have a stack of catching up to do AND she has a pool for me to laze around during the day. And of course I have a niece due at the start of Feb so I can also meet the new addition and amuse myself watching my little brother try and be a Dad! I am enthusiastic, honestly, I just prefer them from about 3 onwards when they are walking and talking.
