Brisbane to Sydney Opera House (virtual run)


Apparently I’m not very smart.  For whatever reason I thought January only had 30 days.  It has 31 days.  I was able to do a 6k run yesterday which means I brought up my monthly total to 100 kilometres.  Which means I am about 10% done my quest (9.90% to be exact).  My goal was to do at least 80ks per month and I’m ahead of schedule.  Hopefully that will come in handy if there are any unforeseen injuries along the way.  I was icing my right heel yesterday to ward off any heel spur issues.  I’m stretching well before and after each run.  Let’s hope that is enough to keep my injury free.
The Run itself was good.  I had about an hour to from end of work to when I had to pick up my wife.  I decided to see how far the running path goes.  I wasn’t sure exactly what was in store for me.  I didn’t know if there was going to be hills or if any of the path had gotten washed out due to the recent floods.  Everything turned out fine and from my starting spot to the end of the path was 3ks.  I turned around and completed the 6k run.  It was also the longest run I have done in my Nike Free shoes.  So far, completely pain free (other than your typical post run soreness).

Looking forward to the next month and hopefully getting fitter and stronger.
