Centennial Social Club
Mr lulu and headed to Centennial Park for our Sunday run. It's the social club of the running world. After running for 10 mins we met Kit and Bernie G who were nearly at the end of their long run. Another 10 mins later we met Don Juan on his way home after his run.We managed a solid 20 mins after than before we ran past where the SWEAT squad convenes and stopped for a chat with Sean and Cindy as well as meeting Laurence Whitty. This was a handy meet as it allowed me to discuss my comeback training with Sean. He has advised another 2-3 weeks of low intensity pottering around the park before returning to SWEAT. When I do come back he suggested once a week for a while and make them relatively short sessions with a longer warm up and cool down. Sounds like a sensible approach and one that is least likely to break me again!
We finished off with another 10 mins back to the car for a total of 50 mins, 8 kms and three social stops. Next time I'll bring a flask of hot coffee with me to enjoy!
We decided on a bush walk in the afternoon and headed to the Royal National Park where we did a walk down to Burning Palms Beach. It was a beautiful walk through the palm jungle and up and along the coast track. Our walking book said it was 11.5km but it felt a lot further than that especially on the back of the morning's run and my legs were feeling it on the climb back to the car. I was worried that I'd over done it as my itb was complaining but apart from being a little tight this morning it appears that I haven't done any damage.
