Out for a run tonight. Got changed into my warm running gear and then waited for about 30 minutes until a heavy downpour subsided. Out the front door at 5.17 pm in miserable conditions though the rain held off for the neaerly 60 minutes I was running. Took it easy, didn't exert myself and comfortably finished the 12.3 km.

Note to self: Must get some reflective, easy to be seen, night gear.

Another run of 12.3 km around my favoured Werribee River course. Though I reckon it's probably a little longer now as at the round-about at Derrimut & Hogans Rd's pedestrians (runners) are now forced to use the pedestrian crossing which is 20 or so metres away. I'll still call it a 12.3 km run. Anyway, done in 58:58 which averages out at 4:48/km. For the 9th km, put a fast one in, 3:50, then ambled home for the last two k's. Max/avg hr: 162/136 bpm.

On the weight front, nothing really to report just that I'm holding steady in the 71 kg bracket, 71.7 kg to be precise.

Another week over. Since my last post two runs, Friday and today (Sunday), both the same course, Werribee River, 12.3 km, both around the 58 min mark.

Interest in keeping this blog going is waning, as I'm getting involved in other interests. I still enjoy running but in time if my other interest kicks off good and proper then my running will revert to three or four times a week or thereabouts.

Two sessions today. The first was at 9.30 am just after dropping my car off at Ultratune in Hoppers Crossing for a service. The second was about 3 pm running back to Ultratune to pick my car up.

The first session was a 10 k'er and the second one was more direct, 4 k's. All up 14.2 km.

That's all.

Had a week off from running, wasn't planned it just worked out that way. Was probably a blessing in disguise.

Anyway, it's now Monday and I knocked over 12.3 km late this afternoon running along my Werribee River course. Ran it in just under 60 mins which equates to an average pace of 4:52/km. Max/avg heart rate: 149/137 bpm.

After today's run I've clocked up over 17,000 km since I started recording this stuff way back in 2001, but who's counting (17,004 km).

Another week over and only notched up 51 km. For the first time in a long time I ran every other day this week.

The week ended with a good solid 14.2 km session taking in Skeleton Creek today (Sunday). Barring a slowish, get-to-know-you, first kilometre, the rest were in the 4:15/km or thereabouts. The 14th km split the fastest at 3:43/km. The overall time was 1:02:08 which averages out at 4:23/km. Max/avg heart rate: 165/144 bpm.

That's all.

No run yesterday (Tuesday 9 June) couldn't be bothered running in the cold and rain. Not so today, was still cold and a little bit of drizzle, basically, miserable. Anyway, out for my usual 12 k's along the Yarra. Half-way around I came across CoolRunner, SlimDJ (Don), and we ran together until he peeled off at Anderson St and I continued on into town.

The facts, 12.3 km in 55:09 @4:29/km. Max/avg heart rate: 158/144 bpm.

That's it.
