21km down the Great Ocean Road from Anglesea to Airey's Inlet. Started freezing and in the middle of a thunderstorm, but cleared up after 15 mins or so, so the GOR could show off its stunning views to me again. About 8:30ish pace. 

longest run in about a year! Felt good and solid and starting to feel like my aerboic capacity has returned (as though it just shows up suddenly out of nowhere... ;) but apart from feeling slight tightness in my hips, it was as though i hadnt spent all last year injured!

Treadmill miles, around 9:20 pace ish.... its been pouring rain for several days now, and I couldnt bring myself to run through it.

But I think the dreadmill is actually worse. Thankfully one of the gym trainers came and chatted to me the last 5k, which made the time pass.

Easy miles around 8:55 pace on a beautiful morn - it finally stopped raining! Round Pyrmont and over Anzac bridge. Legs felt a little heavy; getting a couple of little aches and pains, so might change my shoes out #noinjury2015

Easy miles (maybe 8:40pace or so?) through Hyde Park, Domain, Botanical Gardens, and Opera House, Circular Quay. Dont think I'll ever tire of this route! And a beautiful morning. Some days running is just such a beautiful gift.

The fascia pain in my foot from yesterday is mostly gone. I think my frugal self just has to accept that i cant go putting 400miles on my mizunos like i used to. Stretched my calves as well and that helped a lot.
