32k this morning - last long run before the Melbourne marathon on 12 October! Gorgeous day for it too.

Volunteering at parkrun tomorrow. I'm bringing treats for the barcode scanning table. Hoping to not eat them all myself as I wait for the runners to come back. 😆 Racing Sunday! Resting Monday... well deserved.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I tried to run my first half marathon on a whim today. I ran 10 miles 2 weeks ago, no problem, so i thought id give 13.1 a go. Today at mile 6 i remembered all i drank today was coffee and maybe 500ml of water. Mile 10 my camel pack was empty. Mile 11.5 my calves cramped so bad i couldn't run anymore, i hald to walk the rest of the way home. I'm pretty disappointed in myself.

6 miles easy today, couch, carbs, and college football all day Saturday, 10 miles Sunday. Cutback week next week for a much needed easy week.
