I had a running free weekend for the first time in quite a while after ending the working week with three runs in a row. As far as I’m concerned, having the weekend off constitutes a rest period for me as I go through a short recovery period. As it happens I’ve picked up a cold and I’m struggling to shake it off. Some might say that picking up a cold a week after a race is simply the ideal time to get one and I agree wholeheartedly. But jeez I seem to pick up a lot of colds – this is my second one this year.
Anyway, a little head cold wasn’t going to stop me from getting out and going for an easy 7k run around Sydney Botanical Gardens at lunch time yesterday. Perfect May weather meant that everyone else seemed to have a similar idea. We had to play dodge ‘ems at certain stages on the course, particularly around the Opera House where a huge marquee had been erected on the forecourt for some big function. A time of 30:22 for the run was testament to the fact that the pace was definitely not on. With any luck the run might help sweat out some of the bad germs. (Is that even possible?)
