Sunday June 13, 2010 (LSD – 29km)
All week I have been preoccupied with the thought that I may have another stress fracture. So what do I do today - walk, swim, rest, cycle or go for a long slow run? Since the pain is not there when I run the logic is that it is not a problem running just after I stop. So maybe I should just run all the time? I love these long runs – seeing the landscape in a different light, the chance to chat to interesting people and learn something new. This morning was no exception – easy fun chatter for the first 10-15km and after that the group started to dwindle and by 22km there were only seven of us left. Finished 29km in 3hr10min and was very happy to have covered the distance and relieved that there was no pain or tension in the hip while running. I had no problems except for a fall coming out of Kalkari Track onto Mt Kuringai Rd – where I lost a bit of skin on my left arm. By Monday morning there were a few more bruises on the body but thankfully my favourite running shirt was spared any grazes.
