Operation Recovery complete :-)
Had to drop the Halfpenny back yesterday, so Mrs 2P and I took the opportunity to do a short bushwalk up the mountains afterwards - we walked the first lil bit of the Six Foot Track to the top of the stairs and poodled around some of the tracks on the plateau. The quads still murmured a bit on the ups and downs and I was feeling pretty lethargic, but it was a nice wander through the scrub with some spectacular views.
Decided not to do a long run today even though the legs were feeling pretty good. Apart from anything else I had the worlds supply of chores to get through before going back to work tomorrow, but I finally got enough done to justify going out for a run about 3.45pm and took off around the foreshore bush loop. The Central Area Health Service have finally signposted a detour (which cuts out THE best bits - naturally) but it is still a nice run through to Rhodes. I contemplated doing an out and back but in the end decided to cut across Rhodes railway station (for the stairs) and then through the back end of Bicentennial Park. This gives another hill opportunity at North Strathfield station - not a big hill, but a hill nonetheless.
Ended up doing 12k in 68 mins which is about right for me considering there is about 5k of trail included in this run - so it looks like the legs are back to normal :-)
Going to have to find some serious hills to play on now!

Ok, you are a freak. What a recovery!
Actually, make that a crazy freak. Looking for hills already. I'm thinking a week ro so after my 12 hours I'll still be looking for a couch.
That's amazing that you've recovered so quickly. Shows how fit you are I'm sure. You'll have to come over to the Eastern Suburbs and play on the hills around here, there are lots of them!
Awesome recovery 2P! I have no idea how you have managed to pull up so well.
Can't believe you did not get out to Quarry Road ;-)
Putney looks like your best bet for the closest hills.
Regent street and Morrison Road were old favourites.
Good to see that you have recovered 2p. Mate, my motto is just get the legs moving again after a big effort and work that DOMS out. Have fun playing on your hills. Must be time to get out to Quarry Rd again soon.
Brilliant recovery!! I will definately have to do some walks in the mountains... so pretty!!
Fantastic recovery!!
Recovering running sounds impossible but for you just fine...
Your recovery runs are our everyday runs! You are certainly in freak status 2p!!! But then again it takes a special sort to even think about 12hr runs let alone complete one.
Great to see the legs and motivation to run are back to normal.
Good recovery 2P!
Enjoy the return to work - I'm struggling on my 3rd day today!
How ya going 2P?
If you're looking for some hills; we've got some down this way, the You Yangs and the Dandenongs. Shouldn't take you too long getting here.
What's all this talk about a recovery????
Wonderful recovery 2P!
