Toynes Rd at the You Yangs...at 8:30am
In bed last night at 11pm, but I woke when my alarm went at 7:45...hmmm not normal, maybe yesterday tired me out! Out of bed, a piece of toast with honey and a drink of water with lemon, then into the car for a slow, NO HILLS run. Yes that is possible at the YY, a few slopes, but no hills.
The group I ran with today had 3 guys who raced yesterday, one very fast 20 year old (Luke), a recovering sick Cam and a 50 something who trains with us but doesn't compete. We all told Luke that WE raced yesterday and if he was looking for a hard long run then he was in the wrong place, but as per normal Luke was happy to move forward every so often and then do a Uey and rejoin us and continue. We ran the Branding Yard Rd loop and then a short stop (water and a gel for me) and then we ran along the 'greyhound track', Cam turned back and we continued on to the front gate of the park. Then up GCD and then we turned off and ran along some various trails until returning back to Toynes Rd, 85 minutes.
Once home I spent 20 minutes of stretching on the carpet, lower back, glutes, hamstrings, inner thigh, ITB and calfs. Nearly 12 hours later, I feel ok, tired but good with no major concerns from a weekend of a few k's.
