After missing last week’s long run, I felt amazingly fresh for the run home on Monday. It was nothing spectacular, but I didn’t feel as bone-weary as I had the previous week. Next week Im not sure how I’m going to fare, as I’m heading to Sydney for work on Monday and Tuesday, and don’t know how much running I’m going to get done while I’m there. What’s more, I’m running the Ben Donohoe Fun Run tomorrow morning, so I may not really be up for any running at all next week.
The Ben Donohoe is a short one, only 6.3 kilometres around Lake Gininderra. It’s also a small one. Timing chips aren’t issued, so there’s official times only for the first couple of hundred finishers. I never fit into that category, so I’ll have to time it on my Garmin. As it’s such a familiar route and distance, I’m going to go out full blast, just to see what my capacity is. I’ll aim for 5:30 kilometres, but it depends on how I feel on the day. I’ll push the last kilometre to 5:00, or maybe even 4:45, if I have the energy left.
In other news, apparently the Canberra Marathon is going ahead next year. I was obviously assuming that it wouldn’t be when I set my mind on the Road Running Festival in May. That might not even go ahead. I’m not sure. But if the Canberra Mara does, it’ll be in April, not May. The entry fee is outrageous, also. I think I can get my act together in time.
