First post B2B run.

Ok.....I admit it.  I have been taking it easy since the Bridge to Brisbane (interesting that take it easy by the Eagles was the first song off my playlist).  I haven't been putting in the miles like I was 2 weeks ago.  But today was different.  I woke up at 7 am.  Checked the temperature outside on my iPhone.  It was 12c.  Perfect for running.  The weather is starting to heat up and my 8:30 am runs are now a thing of the past.  I'll have to wake up earlier and earlier.  I had a cup of coffee and I was out the door by 7:30 am (the temperature had risen to 14c).  It felt great getting out there.  I was inspired by how many other runners were around.  What pleased me the most was when a whole pack of runners came out.  Each running together but at their own pace.  It was very inspiring.  I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to complete the 5k in under 30 minutes.  I had been almost a week since I had run.  But luckily I got in there at 29:57 and my last K was the fastest at 5:49

I don't want my week to sound totally devoid of all physical activity.  I was able to play tennis with AP after dropping off my father in-law at the airport last Tuesday.  We played for about 2 hours.  It was great to play another sport.  I almost felt like wearing my iPhone to judge how many calories I burned and how many kilometers I ran.....but that would be the behaviour of an odd ball......no?
