Conditions: A-OK!
It’s been a good week for running so far!
As you can see from the picture above conditions have been just about perfect for running here in Auckland. I went for a run yesterday morning at about 10:30 AM and it was a cracker of a day. The sun was shining but the temperature was only about 12 degrees C and there was no wind so it was just beautiful. I did 9.5 km in about 56 minutes.
This morning I went for a predawn run with my wife through Cornwall Park. Once again conditions were perfect. There was a light mist that made everything rather ethereal. Unfortunately I forgot my camera so no photos! It was quite funny running past sleeping cows! We did a nice 5K in about 34 minutes if I recall correctly.
It’s my daughters birthday tomorrow so I’ve got a cake baking in the oven – I’m a man of many talents!
I also need to do a 8K (5 mile) run tomorrow morning at marathon pace according to my training program and then on Sunday I need to do a 13K (8 mile) long run. It feels funny to think of 8 miles as being a long run! Although having said that it wasn’t that long ago that 8 miles seemed like an incredibly long distance to me. Just goes to show that it’s all relative.
Hope you all have a great weekend.

Looks like a gorgeous run with little traffic.
So what kind of birthday cake is in the offing?
