MTB ride in a pouring rain and gusty wind. The alternative was a run, but the legs were still tired from a Sunday run.
The front tire has a way of creating a shower right in my face on days like this. Lovely.

Yes, 32k run. Bloody hell. Not planned, but I felt good running after 1hr and decided to change the route. Glad I did. In 2 weeks will do the same. That's what you have to do to run a marathon and hopefully not go through much pain.

Just commuting to the store to get some milk, bread, grapes and bananas. Pretty much the essentials of my diet.
For those who are not familiar with long distance running (in relatively warm weather), here is the ammount of liquid consumed today (related to the running for 3.5hrs):
- 1 big cup of coffee at 5am before the run;
- 1 x 24oz bike bottle of water in the first 45min of running;
- 3 x 24oz bottles of my own mix (water with honey, lemon, salt and instant coffee) for the rest of the run;
- 1 glass of water on arrival ((to flush the sugar);
- 1 glass of milk with Milo-like substance;
- 1 large cup of coffee;
- 2 cups of tea;
- 1 glass of water ( and at this point at 12pm I finally replaced the lost liquid i.e. toilet visit).
...then it didn't matter that much, just regular liquids. It wasn't hot today, just around 22c.
I feel like a cold beer now...

Tallebudgeera Creek. Battling the surf and some flat water paddling. Back muscles felt sore, maybe I'm getting some cold.

Recovery run. After the first half however, I figured I recovered ;), so the second half was considerably faster.
