Easy 8

Today Total: 8k

A short flat white would have been nice, but I opted for a short flat run instead. The twins having been on their best behaviour of late have started to get restless again so I thouight a light run would help me loosen up for training tonight.

A shorter run would also be a good opportunity to break in my new Asic Nimbus's as my old pair are literally falling apart after less than 600k - a bit disappointing because they are very comfy. As a comparison I've got an old pair of Kayanos that have done just under a 1000 k's and they are still fine, but they weigh a ton - guess that is the price you pay.

After applying Nurofen Gel to about 96% of my body I headed out to Canada Bay along the foreshore. It was fairly warm (34 degrees) and as always with new shoes I got hot spots on the balls of my feet almost immediately which made for an interesting run.

Managed the out and back uncomfortably in 46.33 - the only redeeming feature being I ran the last k as my fastest - now for training :-)

Another 8km under the belt... and a fast finish. I hope those twins stay on their best behaviour.

Yikes - 34 degrees! No wonder you had hot spots on the balls of your feet.

Can I just ask -

What was easy about it?

I'm still trying to work out what 4% of your body you DIDN'T apply the nurofen gel to?

The nurofen gel acts like viagra when applied to that 4% of the body, or 14% for me.

On a 34 degree day I think I would have opted for the short flat white. Well done.

Seems like your feet don't like using new shoes.
Don't think that is interesting but painful, but I know when running, you just can handle it!!

2P, I get that burning on the ball of my right foot nearly every run! Not a case of new shoes either; always so painful I have to remove the shoe & massage the foot & toes. On another note....can you believe it's cold here? For 2 days now, light rain & the surrounding hills covered in mist...very pretty, unlike my foot!

Get those new shoes worn in 2P. you will be right as rain after that. Sorry to hear the body loves that Nurofen Gel, once the body gets a taste it never stops wanting :-). Keep up the good work mate.
