I hope that running against icy gales achieves more than just complete exhaustion, because that's all I felt when I got back to the car & slumped inside as if onto a feather bed.....that was the contrast with outdoors!
Medium long run 1 hour 15 minutes. Erratic heart rate readings - Mr G-armin has had enough of the cold wind too - Avg. HR = 122 (86%); Max = 176bpm which is 119% which means I fell & died in one of the many potholes all over Diamond Fields Road....just like I felt had happened!
Tomorrow, a rest day except for a few drills & strides in the soccer field & then the "march towards Melbourne Marathon" begins seriously with the first of many long runs on Sunday.
You're a brave woman running in that weather LL. I would definitely have come up with some excuse not to.
ReplyDeleteI've only just had a chance to catch up on your blog Norma. That is a real shame about Gold Coast. I think I would have smashed something if I was in your position. I'm glad you have been able to get over it so quickly. Look forward to seeing you in Sydney.
ReplyDeleteI can hear the wind just now outside as I type this here in Canberra. Of all the climatic conditions I have faced as a runner, I find cold, gusty conditions are toughest to deal with.
