According to the weather report, it was 8 degrees C this morning with a wind chill taking the "feels like" temperature down to 4 degrees.
I was just thankful for the double layer of clothes up top and the hat to keep me warmish.
It's even too early for the sun to show through. No that doesn't occur until I'm on my way to work, shining just above the buildings, through my murky wind-screen, blinding me in the process.
Anyway, it gives me a good feeling to keep logging in the morning runs. 5.5km again this morning. That's my three weekday sessions completed, now for 3 lie-ins and a rest before the long run on Sunday.
I had a thought yesterday. Rather than wait for over a year after the City to Surf until next September's Half Marathon, why not do it this year? That only gives me 4 weeks to recover and get some extra mileage into my legs, but I could adjust my current training to get that mileage in now - I just need to make sure those long Sunday runs are in fact - long, like 20km or so!
My 75 minute target for the City to Surf extrapolates to 1:55 for the Half Marathon. I've no idea whether the course is hilly. I know it starts over the Harbour Bridge and ends up at the Opera House.
Bugger it! Why not? I'll check it out and get my entry in: then there's no turning back.
