It's becoming a Monday morning routine - wake up at 4:30am, take Annabel to the airport, get back by 6:30am for a run/gym before work. I managed to get lost on the way back from the airport so didn't give myself much time for exercise this morning, but after the Curtis P's last night, my legs were in no state for anything too fast or too long.
One of the requirements of the Coastal Classic is that you carry your own water. I haven't run with my Nathan hydration belt for a little while, so I decided to fill up both bottles and practice running with it this morning. it bounced around a bit at first, but I tightened the velcro as small as it would go, and the bouncing stopped. It's a very well-designed belt, with an elastic strap, and you hardly notice it's there when you're running. Only thing is that I must have looked like the biggest try-hard, running less than 10km with a hydration belt! Like a super-short ultra marathoner.
I ran out for 20 minutes, past Southbank to the Gobetween Bridge, then back. Not fast, just a comfortable pace. Total of just over 9.5km in 38:52 (approx. 4:05min/km). I feel tired from the gym session last night and the early start, but there is just something so refreshing about a morning run.
I'm now looking forward to a massage tonight!!
