08/07 Focus Cross Train

Mum has lent me her bike long term. I've got nowhere to put it so it's living in the bedroom at the moment. I'd gone to go out for a run twice this morning- it was fresh, great running weather and I'd gone out early enough- ipod not charged, back to the house. Then went out one more time and was just too mentally drained to even start once I got to my usual start point. I'd set a 25 km goal but even the first time I went out, I was slashing kms off that. Not the right mental position for a long run. So for the second time that morning I returned home. Got Mum to bring the bike over. After last week being so knackered on my only day off after 25 kms, I was doing all the wrong things mentally to achieve a successful long run.
Did shopping, housework, had a sleep and then at 3:30 pm went out to turn the legs over. I didn't want to do nothing, that makes me feel more guilty for not going out this morning. So thought, I'll try for 10-12 kms- ended up at the brewery- that's 10 kms from my house which means to get back is a 20 km round trip. Loved it. The track to the brewery has quite a few small hills and is a relatively undulating course.
