Alarm at 5:30

I got up and saw the temp.

Took plenty of time just laying there. Sort of warming up. Did get a ball in the hip and front and hamstrings etc

Run this morning. Got up and out. Around 7am.

Then slowly started picking up speed.

A little coughing from the fall leaves etc.

But after walking a bit and meditative breathing. All good.

The knees felt great right out the gates. So that’s dope.

Ran round the lake. Paste one of the points I had to turn back. However many weeks ago.

And then found hills.

Listened to goggins book.

16.33km

Knees a littttle rickety.

The workouts have been solid to give me more shock absorption.

Need new trail shoes tho.

8:51 — we got the brooks caldera 8 trail shoes. The tread we were after. Deep lugs. But not insane. And solid upper for muck splash. Plus lots of cushion for longer runs. They areeee legit. I’m stoked.

I gotta try the large running vest. The medium was too tight. The XL was legit. But to cinch it down, was not ideal. But with water bottles. I mean. Not terrible.
