After 40 minutes in a dentist chair I thought I follow it up with 3 hours of self inflicted pain. I was in St Ives to visit my dentist and needing to get run in this morning so I followed up the visit to the dentist with 29 km run on the Striders Bobbin Head Revisited route. The run goes through St Ives, Turramurra, Kurringai NP through Bobbin Head , Hornsby, Wahroonga and back to St Ives. The run through the park was great - little car or cycle traffic on the road and perfect running conditions. Cool day with temperatures in the low 20's with drizzly rain towards the end of the run.
I felt tired even before I got to 8km into the run at the National Park gates but kept going hoping for a second wind. It was not to be this morning. Ran OK for 24 km then ran/walked for the last 5km to finish in 3.09. The long downhill on Bobbin Head Road followed by the long uphill after the Cowan Creek crossing thrashed my legs today.
One day I will run Bobbin Head Rd and feel strong.
