Park-O @ Yarra Bend

Stayed entirely within Yarra Bend Park, so the terrain was a mixture of hard-packed paths, grass, and lumpy stuff (taken carefully, so as not to upset the ankle). Started off slowly again, but after the first few controls, I had warmed up, and the aches went away.

I wore the HRM, and you can see from the half-way point in the graph below where I stopped watching my heart rate, and started watching the clock! Average HR for the run was 164 bpm, peaked at 181; average pace (including stops and walks) was 7:13 m/km.

5.64 kms in 40 minutes.



Was "sharing" my aches (and running progress) with Eric and Robyn afterwards, when Eric suggested a bath to ease my sore quads and dodgy knee ligaments, and Robyn suggested Radox. So I did... Had a lovely soak for half an hour. :-)

Tomorrow will be a REST DAY.
