Didn't get going until 9am so it was nice & toasty.  As such I just did 3 laps of the Hancock Golf Course and then headed home.  Biggest excitement of the run was nearly being hit by a golf ball...so it keeps you on your toes hehe.

Didn't sleep well so couldn't face the 5am alarm call.  Hills was on the agenda on Tuesday so didn't want to do overdo it afterwork so just managed 4 easy miles on the treadmill.

Its days like this that I seriously think about quitting running.  A truly awful run.  I was passed my so many groups that I felt very low by the end of the run.  I paid the price for poor prep work the day before,  I had a friend in town and I had BBQ for lunch, not much a dinner, a couple of beers and not enough water.  Fortunately I made it back in one piece, no injuries, but this one will live long in the memory.  I don’t want to feel like that again….ever!!!!
