Another Yarra Run (15 km)

Just another Yarra run today straight after work. Well, a little bit before work finished at 3.50 pm, only because I worked through lunch. I'm starting to pack more items in my bag now due to the weather. I packed two shirts, one a t-shirt and the other a long sleeved shirt. I elected to wear the long sleeved shirt as it looked a tad cold from the office window. Nothing really special about the run, the usual starting in Fawkner Park and tracking on both banks of the Yarra from Flinders St to Mac. Robertson Bridge. All up a 15.41 km in a time of 1:15:08 at a pace of 4:52 /km. Heart rate info, max & avg, 157/138. Felt OK considering the long 30 km on Sunday. If anything I'm a little tired during the day but during the run I felt comfortable and strong. After the run I knocked out 100 sit-ups and for some reason they have dropped off recently. Message to self, just do them. I'm glad I got the run out of the way when I did. Only a couple of hours later it was bucketing down and I certainly wouldn't have started a run in those conditions.

Another run on the Yarra hey Steve, you might need to start investigating for some different tracks, maybe a trip out to Albert Park just to break it up.

We haven't had the best weather for running in Melbourne recently.

I'm struggling to do 10 sit ups so bloody well done mate on 100!
