Monday Hurts

Adam still not back to running after having his wisdom tooth out on Friday, so fronted up to the Monday session on my own. Had managed to get a swim in on Sunday morning - just a 1km - but Clovelly was perfect with clear, warmish water and the sun shining. Decent crowd today with MC, Laura, Russell, James, Rob, Dave and Charlie among the regulars. Seem to have forgotten the 4.40 pace rule with the pace around farm cove already down to 4.35's. Was very humid again today and despite thunder as we ran around the Opera House, no sign of a cooling shower. Left calf was feeling pretty good after some stretching at the start and was quite keen to attempt the whole set today but didn't want to push it too much so left the group at the Opera House on the return leg and came back to the bottom of Pitt Street for 13kms in 58.38 mins. Not a bad start to the week and although I could still feel some twinge in the calf, nothing compared to the end of last week. Did some more stretching after I finished so will see how things go on Wednesday. Stats for today at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/149286726 and working from home tomorrow, so weather permitting, I'll sneak in a ride in the morning and maybe a swim at lunch.
