South Head
It's been very hectic the last few days and a couple of early morning work commitments and dog walking duties have meant I had two rest days. Luxury!Today though I headed out at about 7 and followed the road down to Watson's Bay and then found the path way that does a loop around South Head. Fantastic views back across the harbour to the city which I stopped to appreciate before heading back home.
After 5.5km I was absolutely pooped. Fitness MIA! I started off feeling great but after some hills and stairs in the heat and humidity I started to feel really dehydrated. Hopefully that's the main reason! I'm planning on running the 5km at SMC on Sunday; it could be interesting if I'm finding 5.5km a battle at an easy pace. Just doing it to see where I'm up to and I could be in for a nasty shock.
The good news is that the hip is liking the shorter runs and more rest days and I didn't hear a peep out of it. The bad news is I'm losing fitness by the day.

If you can run 5.5k, then a 5k race will be easy... :-) Don't worry about the fitness, just enjoy the run!

yep - you'll be great of course!! enjoy the return to the house of fun!
Run for fun! Has a nice ring about it, doesn't it?
Tough running around there. Nowhere to hide on those hills.
It's when you're losing fitness by the month you've got to worry.
First get that leg sorted out, then worry about fitness :-)
Lots of hills on that course Lulu - you'll be great at Smithfield!!
The good news outweighs the bad Lulu. A 5k race is a good test of fitness. Go hard, to see where you are :) Have 'fun'.
Lulu, you are still way fitter than most of the population so don't worry!
Good luck in the 5k tomorrow.
