Brisbane to Sydney Opera House (virtual run)

I had a bit of a stressful day at work.  I found it interesting how I reacted to someone questioning my abilities.  All I could think of was getting rid of this stress by going for a run.  As a person who doesn't experience stress that often I was wondering if a run would help me.  It did to some degree.  I feel much better then I did but it wasn't a perfect cure.  To top it off while I was running I had accidentally turned off the GPS functionality on the MiCoach iPhone app.  While I completed a 4k run I only recorded stats for 2ks.  Live and learn.

I wilted in the heat this evening.  Also because of work I didn't get a chance to have a proper lunch.  Only armed with a coffee and a handful of almonds for energy and I didn't want to push myself too hard with that little amount of food.  The next run will be much better.

A strange thing happened over the weekend.  I got an email from an old friend.  I haven't talked to this friend in 10 or 15 years.  He is now living in New Zealand and coming to Brisbane in March.  It will be nice to catch up.
