Weekend

 Busy weekend not running but I did sneak in a 5km beach run on Sunday.  Going long on Saturday doing the Mansfield 50ker first Ultra of the year...somewhat ready ,  going to be a slow one.  

Friday Fun

 Followed up the long one Thursday with 6 laps / 5.6 km on the backyard trail Dax in tow.      Hammock session afterwards,  the second of the season.  

Beaver Valley Thursday

 20.5 km logged looping Beaver Valley today with Patrick Rose.   Weather was A+ and the BV was prefect as is usual.   800m of accent makes this a great place to get your trail on.   

+1 Tuesday

 Hit the backyard trail after work logging a 4.8 K run with a much enjoyed hammock session afterwards.

 Weekend starts at 4 ,  a 5 dayer!   One more lunch run was done today a 5K @ 6:00 pace.  Thougght about a 3K walk but nah!

April Summary

 April - 204.8 km

YTD  - 633.1 km 

April milestones included the last long treadmill run,  Grand Canton fun group run and the Outrace Season opener at Dunedin.  I am pleased with the increased volume too.    200+ Ks and lots of 6:00 treadmill stuff is the plan going forward.   Aside from the BV loops and events coming up I want to start running the local rail trail at a 6:00 pace in prep for Endur in August.

Summary

Trail 6 X = 94.1 km

Treadmill 16 X  = 110.7 km 

Rest Days  X 8

Walk instead of run!

 Planned a 10k run but did a 6K walk instead.   It was a busy morning at work and I am a wee bit tired so I decided to take it easy.
