Saturday 2.00pm 11KM Roo+Lake 41m46s

I was wondering if it might be possible to run the Bridge to Brisbane so got out for a run to see how things were going. Fist few K's were painful and lack of fitness started to kick in at about 8K
but was happy enough to run 41m46 = a good time considering first run in three weeks. It was always going to be more about the reaction to the run. I got the legs straight into the pool after the run (18.6 O C) then ice pack and Ibuprofen. None of that worked and the knees were very painful for the rest of the day. I was walking around like an invalid barely ablt to get out of the car. Don't know what to think! part of it will be natural reaction to hard run after not training for three weeks but the injury was accountable for most of it.
Later in the day we went back into the city for Riverfest.
From our rooftop we had a great vantage point to see the fireworks and F1 11's.
Doesn't Brisbane look fantastic? Today is going to be a 26 o C Day! Roll on Spring!!!
