Had to give the Striders Chatswood LR a miss today. Absolutely no incentive to be stuck in the heat after 8:30am. So instead, all I did was a recovery run out to Macquarie Hospital before shooting back along the Lane Cove cycle tracks. Not sure if it's a coincidence but two hospital visits in two days... all for the right reasons though.

Happened to be carrying my swimmers as you never know if a run takes you to a good swimming spot. As I passed Lane Cove pool, it didn't take much convincing to take a quick dip before heading home. Covered 14km pre-swim, and a few more kms post the swim.

Finding my energy levels have been quite low this weekend. Possibly physical / mental fatigue, hot weather and poor hydration.

So this week's been another 150km one. Way too much junk miles to call it training though ... almost no quality aside from Tuesday tempo.

Weekly summary

Nonetheless, looking forward to a bit of a rest week this week. Body needs to heal as does the mind.
