Monday... here we go again

Big problems getting out of bed this morning, not helped by about a thousand possums starting World War III in my trees and across the roof last night. Cold ~10 degrees. Didn't get out the door until nearly 8am for my usual Seville-Chandler Rd route - 5.7 km.

* juice: grapefruit, carrot, cucumber, ginger, garlic
* muesli
* sushi
* strawberries
* triple chocolate cookie (yum!)
* fried rice with prawns, egg, veges.
I've rediscovered the wok! My stove is really pathetic, so I'm using a camping gas cooker on the kitchen bench. hey - whatever works. :-)

I didn't go to Street-O - tonight's event fell into the "too far" category (Caulfield), so I went for a run from home instead. After a slow plod on the slight uphill to Wandin keeping the heart rate around 150 (79%), I decided to pick up the pace to 160 on the homeward run. I just kept going faster and faster until the HR was sitting around 170 and higher (90%), and it still felt comfortable. Being slightly downhill, the pace was pretty quick and it felt good to be going that fast.

Pace on the way out was around 7:30/km, on the way back around 5:10/km. I held it for just over 3km to the start of Station St where I slowed down to trot home.
