Manly to Palm Beach



Quick update, however not much has happened since SMH. I actually woke up the morning off SMH with a sore throat and pushing the body through a hard effort pushed it over into full blown cold (or maybe a man flu). I couldn't run at all that week. I was a bit disappointed as it meant that I couldn't do the Manly to Palmy 60k. It is a race that organise and it is the 2nd year in a row I haven't done the full monty. I was feeling mostly better on the Sat morning, so I decided to run to the start and see how I felt. If I felt OK I would run to Palm Beach and if I felt ordinary, I would just run home after getting everyone away.

Felt a bit coughy, but mostly pretty good, so I continued at an easy pace (mostly with my mate Paul). The weather stayed away mostly and we arrived at Palm Beach right on 3 hours. I caught the bus to Warringah Mall with Paul, Miss Z, Mr and Mrs Tall Geoff. I ran home from the mall for a total of 35k for the morning.

The run ended up being a mistake as I retreated back into sickness for the following week. Der!

So two weeks without running much at all. The progress has stalled and I can only blame myself. Even though I felt 99%, I pulled out of the Great Nosh to ensure I got rid of this stupid cold. Still managed to get up on the course for a few photos with Cheeseburger.

Back into it this week and looking to get the legs back in action for the Nth Head 10k on Sat.

A few photos from the Nosh...
