Ran without the orthotics in the Takumi Ren and felt like I had nothing underfoot. Still calf soreness, but a tiny bit less. 3k at 4:33 pace for a bit of steady state running. Saw RT Ross and his wife back from GC where he ran a sub 72min half. 

Still a little frost around on the grass but a beautiful morning.

Ran from Wollstonecraft to the Bay with JT. Break for 20mins at 11k to wait for some others who were doing a lap of the bay. Longer run than planned, but felt quite good. A little bit of the ache, but far less - and definitely in a different area to the original fracture site.

Running: 49.22km (4:18:07) (2.5km super slow with wife)
Cycling: 35km (1:17:22)

60min Aerobic Base

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/344670739

Distance:12.13 km
Time:1:00:01
Avg Pace:4:57 min/km
Elevation Gain:135 m

Legs are tired after 3 afternoon shifts which I'm not used to. Still, 60mins - not too much of a problem, again more of a moderate effort. Each run seems to feel better. Aiming to do two laps of the bay with some slower runners Sunday - they are pussies though and may cancel if it looks like it will be wet. I don't think they run faster than 5:15 k's (just writing it here to see if it actually happens).

Relaxed stride/fartlek type of workout from the McMillan book. Hitting 110-120m per rep. Got a little 800m cross country loop around the park and there's someone camping out by the creek there. Probably lives there.

Spent ages trying to get my shoes to feel comfortable. The orthotics have put too much volume in them and can't get them to fit right. Less sore though.

Fairly decent ride up to Hawkesbury Heights. Solid 3k climb which I freaked out at and had to do a second take on. 

View from the Heights. 

Yarramundi post-flood. Deliverance vibes.
