Brisbane to Sydney (Opera House) virtual run

My run today was delayed due to domestic responsbility.  I was hoping to be able to run at 6 am but it was closer to 7 am before I got on the road.  I was worried that the heat would be too much but lucky for me it was ok.  Today was my first 5k run in a long time.  It felt great.  No niggling injuries to worry about.  The (Christmas)weight is slowly coming off and I am almost back to where I was before December.  Just a few more weeks and I'll be back.  My fitness is no where near where it was.....but I'll get it back.  I had to take a few walking breaks today but the key was to complete the run.  Tomorrow I'm going to do a very easy 3k run.  Now it's all about just completing as many ks as I can.

If you have been following the news you would have seen Australia is in the grip of a heat wave.  Bush fires are raging across the country.  Right now in Brisbane that is not an issue.  The temperatures have been steady and not too bad.  But that looks like it might change soon.  Wednesday the forecast is calling for a 38c day.  That's awful.  I'm going to wake up around 5:30 am tomorrow to get a run in.  It should be reasonably cool at that time of the day.

If anyone is interested in doing the half marathon with me Aug 5th please let me know.  It should be a great day. 

I wanted to say well done to the newest slowrunning member on the MiCoach website.  Battlesausage has completed over 60ks in the last couple of weeks.  Even doing 10ks recently.  Congrats and keep it up B.Sausage.
