APRIL UPDATE


Well so far this year I have run the equivalent of Melbourne to Merimbula, so thought it would be a good way to track my progression each month.....

April 28(PM) - Ivanhoe to Burnley

Today was my first attempt at 2 runs in one day. I wasn't sure how I would go and didn't want to push it too far or hard. I'd already done 4.5km of fartlek in the morning.

So I set off from Ivanhoe, east along the Yarra to Burke Rd, attempting to find the path to get up to Burke Rd and run along there. However ended up going around in circles and just followed the path alongside the freeway. Between Burke Rd and Chandler H'way I cut south to Cotham Road, which I followed down into Kew. Then I went south again until I hit Burwood Rd/Bridge Rd, down Stawell Street to Swan Street.

By this stage I was feeling a little sore in the legs, and decided that was enough for the day. Overall it was a 13.5km run in 76 minutes, and it added up to 18km's for the day.
