Sunday long run.
Today had a fallback distance of 16km's in the Hal Higdon marathon plan.
After catching up with chores I set out alone just before midday. I covered part of my pre-Garmin 15km course (it was a bit short of 15) and had to fill in for the last 2km's.
I am pretty happy with my splits. They are pretty consistent with the terrain I ran on.
Elevation/Distance
In the end I ran 16.5kms in 1:25:01. 11km's into the run and I passed a local Fish and Chip shop. The smell wafting out of the place wouldn't leave me so once I had freshed up I headed back to get the family lunch. Hot chips on a cold winters day...Yum.
More information on this run can be found at Motionbased.
I haven't mentioned it much but I have received my race number (Pink 2978) for next Sundays 30km Sri Chinmoy at Princess Park. The furthest I have run so far is 22.7km and I am a little nervous. This event was always going to be the measuring stick for the Melbourne Marathon and I hope I will be up for it.
In the Coolrunning forums I have noticed the thread for the Fat Ass Bellarine Rail trail long run. I have added my name to the list and I am looking forward to the experience. The family and I can stay at the in-laws in Ocean Grove for the weekend, and will then watch me stagger into Queenscliff after running 34km's on the Sunday.

Best of luck next week at Princes Park
I'll be watching to see how you go!!
SB:)
I'll see you next weekend at Princess Park. I'm hoping to do the 30 km subject to no continuing niggling knee problems.
Look forward to hearing how you go in the 30km SD. Thats the longest distance I've ever run and was in training for a marathon (that I never go to) not an event, but it sure is a milestone. Best of luck. MAR.
I'll be the one giving you the slap on Sunday, and cheering you on once I've got my pancakes :o)
Go Sparkdriver go! Looking forward to a long happy post from you on Sunday.
cheerio
