Aquajogging and undie running

Fortunately easing off running for 5 days and going aqua jogging soon settled my achilles. It was the first time I have tried aqua jogging and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. This doctor thoroughly recommends it.

Anyway , the past seven day has been pretty good as I have got back into a high mileage week of 118km. Early mornings and dark starts have become features again as the days are getting shorter now.

Misty run in Port Hills above Christchurch ( Rapaki Track)

There have been two 3-hour hill runs in the Port Hills and then on the Mt Hutt ski road last night (Friday) The latter finished in darkness which was useful track finding with headlamp work. The beauty of running in New Zealand is that often you can feel like you are the last person on the planet as you often encounter no other human. This was a double blessing last night as I forgot my shorts on leaving work which necessitated an undie run for 3 hours.
