| Molly with the Medal 25km |
As I had a race it was relatively easy week .
Just the hill session with 6 repeats of Kokoda at King's Park and then a short 30 min run and 1 hour steady walking. On Saturday I headed out to Bickley to run for 3-4 hours but the calf was sore and stiff and so lasted an hour .As I was running the 25km race on Sunday I decided to rest .It worked and managed to run the course. Took 4 hours but enjoyed it practiced See Hear feel meditation on the run.As the pictures indicate it was a great cool day with a bit of rain.I kept a steady pace and walked the hills . Found the run enjoyable and whilst the right heel was a little sore managed to run without too much discomfort. I did the first 10km in 1.32 and the 15km in 2.28 m . Fairly consistent with the elevation in the 15km being twice as much as the first 10km .I took it easy given my sore right calf and walked all the hills even the short rises. I meditated throughout with flow meditation obviously drifting out of the meditation but bringing my thoughts back to flow.That went on for the 4 hours I was on the course and time did fly . I enjoyed the views and at the last lap I had a few runners around me.Martha whom I knew was ahead throughout but at the 10km mark I left the turnaround to start the 15 km before her but within 2 km she caught up and passed me and was ahead and for the last 3-4 km I could see her and in the end I finished just behind her with the same time. The leg is a little sore after the race .Caught up with a few friends and enjoyed the atmosphere. On the last stretch of training before Avon Valley Wild Goose in June.
