Adelaide Marathon Campaign - Week 1 of 16
Cross Training Day. First big departure from the schedule - this was scheduled to be a rest day, but it was such a nice autumnal day here that I went for a walk long enough to count as cross training. I decided to take the car and park it near the finish line for tomorrow's race (which is a point to point, rather than out and back or loop), and walked back home, leaving me just a nice 3km warm up walk to the start line tomorrow morning.
I walked back through the quaint, historic districts - through the Saturday markets, round the waterfront, through the old parts of town etc. And I was very disciplined - I ignored my favourite bratwurst & sauerkraut stall at the markets; walked past two of my very favourite pubs, and completely ignored the wonderful cafes and coffee shops that are dotted throughout the area these days. I was sorely tempted too by the handful of pubs that I've yet to cross off my list of "unvisited Hobart pubs", several of which I walked past this afternoon. But I resisted. Now I really know I'm in training. But actually I don't feel deprived, as the promise of a fine run tomorrow is more appealing than a couple of beers in a pub somewhere.
Honestly!
Day 6: 1h 45m walk.
