Today was one of my favourite runs on the Victorian running calendar. It's a nice course and its not too tough. Unfortunately my body wasn't in the shape to race it, so my plan was to run for 50mins and jog the remaining.... I went a little bit away from the plan and run 11km for about 52:30 and jogged the last 4km's.
I found it weird because I had to put in such and effort to not run faster than 5min/kms and then when I eased down for the last 4km's, for no effort at all, my pace didn't deviate too much. With 2kms to go I really wanted to kick, and with 1km to go I wanted to do the same but I had to keep telling myself that Anaconda is next week. I suppose I didn't really want to be seen getting beaten by old people!

November has been a month of rebuilding on the running front.
This months totals (inc. tomorrows planned training):
Run - 49.11km
Swim - 28km
Ride (MTB) - 34.4km
Ride (Road) - 0km
Kayak - 30km
I was on track to swim 30k in 30days for the month, however my pool's roof collapsed in Thursday's storm so Thursday's session was, well, cancelled.
Looking towards December, I have my eye on a few races:
Dec 6 - Anaconda Adventure Race, Lorne
Dec 12 - AV Shield 800m
Dec 16 - VMC 1500m
I will have a two week break from racing over Christmas to continue rebuilding my base before Portsea Twilight in early January.
