Week 4: Sunday November 7, 2010 - Five Weeks to Kepler
It feels like a breakthrough week. A little glimpse of fitness returning with a comfortable 12km trail run on Wednesday and Saturday at 6.30min/km pace. I felt stronger on the hills and confidence is returning. Ran a total of 70 km this week. Longest run was the Striders STaR on Sunday - the only time it did not rain while out running this week. The course follows the undulation of Sydneys eastern suburbs. I was running slow enough to take in the Sculptures by the Sea exhibition.
Very pleased to complete the very hilly 26km in 3hrs and 10 minutes. Highlight of the week was overcoming inertia to get out of bed on a wet and wild Saturday to run a 12km on the trail.
For some reason I was hoping to keep my feet dry by avoiding stepping in numerous puddles, only to finish in a downpour. It was a lot of fun.

Enjoy the rain and cool weather< its 45deg here in Tete and bone dry. You have to get out by 5am to get a run in. Surpringly people do go jogging here.
Great to see you running comfortably. Bodes well for NZ and 6ft. I predict 5.26 for 6ft.
Conditions in Tete remind me of the dry heat we experienced in the bottom of the Grand Canyon. I am a bit over the wet and cold - happily swap places right now. Take care and watch out for the crocs.
