May 30 - Ivanhoe to the City
Tonight I was meeting one of my best friends in the city for a meal, so decided to run to his hotel, have a quick shower and then out.Left Ivanhoe and followed Heidelberg Road down to Fairfield Park. Was moving at about 4.20 pace for the first four k's and felt pretty good. Once I reached Fairfield I cut across to Merri Creek and followed the Capital City Trail down to Dights Falls. I still felt very good and had eased off to 4:35 pace. From Dights Falls it was a bit stop/start as I cut through Collingwood to Fitzroy Gardens.
Once I reached Fitzroy Gardens I cut through there and then down through Treasury Gardens. It was here I got a similar tight feeling in my left hamstring and calf that I experienced in the Sri Chinmoy on Sunday. Not certain if it was due to trying to protect my left toe or anything else, or just a minor cramping.
Anyway I plugged on and it seemed to loosen up a bit as I followed Flinders Street to Spencer Street. All up just over 11k's in 53 minutes.
The steak at JJ's Bar and Grill and Yarra Burn Shiraz Viogner tasted even better after a run!
