Saturday January 24 (Easy 10 km)
I have not been out for a run since my Pluviometer plunge on Tuesday. I am starting to feel a little nervous that all the hard work to date will start to unwind and I will forget how to run. But in my resolve to treat running as play - not as an addiction - I waited for the swelling and bruising to subside before heading out the door.

Well what a doozy of a day, today is turning out to be. At 5.30 in the morning, as I was lacing up my shoes, the temperature was already in the mid 20’s with high humidity. The air was so sultry you could taste the salt with every breath. The sunrise was so intensely red, the shoreline looked like it was on fire. Prediction is for over 40 degrees with southerly change in the afternoon.
To shake out the legs, I ran to Bungan Beach and back for an easy 10km in 53min. Nothing hurts, so now I have no more excuses for resting. I must admit I am pleased I made the decision not to run repeats of Quarry Road this morning. It is a brutal run on a cool day. Today it would have be as hot as hades. A dip in the ocean to cool down at the end of my run was a great reward.
