Sunday January 24, 2010 (Easy - 10km)
I woke up tired and was very tempted to stay in bed. It was still dark outside and a light drizzly rain was falling. But it was cool so I thought I would regret passing up a chance to run in cool conditions. I had intended to run around 20km but after starting with the 6am group I had trouble with the early hills and keeping up at 5km into the run. I feared I may get sucked along and go quicker and further then I know I should so I dropped back and took a very short, short cut back to the start at Dee Why beach.
Awful run that left me feeling down and depressed. Maybe I should have pushed on. Maybe if I stay away from group training runs until some condition and endurance returns I will be more confident in my progress.
Got back in time to watch the start of the Warriewood to Mona Vale Ocean swim
which The Hammer swam, along with Judy, Al, Michele and 700 others, 
followed by the now traditional post swim brunch which was at Paul and Judy’s house at Collaroy Plateau. It is funny but this swim always signals to me the winding down of the long, lazy days of summer and time to return to work.
