Run - 8km (00:06:45 pace)
... But I get there in the end! I ran my old favourite 8km return route along the river from the Kangaroo Point stairs, past Southbank and out to West End, and despite my legs feeling totally dead at the end, it wasn't as bad as I was thinking it was going to be.
Actually, it was great. For the first time since coming back off my knee injury, I was able to ignore my struggling body long enough to appreciate the cloudless star-sprinkled sky, the brisk breeze, and the lights sparkling off the river. I'd forgotten how much I love running at night! Running during the day carries feelings of urgency, of being overwhelmed by the bright sunshine and the energy-sapping heat, but at night its peaceful and even somewhat relaxing.
Plus, there's the added feeling of achievement that comes from pushing myself through 8km, which is the longest distance I've done since hurting my knee. Next week, I'm gonna make it 10k!

Well done to you. I haven't run since the start of the year. I can't wait to start again but need to lose a little weight first or I doubt my knee's will handle it.
I found your blog on calorie king.
