Another Sunday means another long run

No rest for the wicked in the lead-up to a Marathon sportsfans.....

S for Sunday is also S for Ssssshheeeiiittt i gotta go long today...... ;-P

A sunny Brisbane morning saw me plying my trade around Brisbanes famous "River Loop". I ran an abrieviated 32km version of it this morning (the full loop is 37kms), in around 2hrs 30mins. Just a nice aerobic pace, long solo runs like this not only do the obvious by developing your aerobic fitness, but they also serve you well in developing your mental strength and the ability to concentrate without anything to distract you.

Ran into Brisbane (and Australian!) Triathlon and distance running legend Rod Cedaro towards the end of my run. Rod is married to a childhood friend of mine. stopped for a quick chat, but got going quickly as I didn't want to cool down too much !

Haven't pulled up too badly, especially considering I ran 2hrs on friday as well (well, i think it was actually 1:45...)
