Up early to watch the Australia v Uruguay match. Before the match, I would have been happy to accept a 1-0 loss but it was a bit disappointing having dominated the first half to have the goal scored against us. The second half was filled with anxious moments as we defended grimly.

Thought the best way to release the tension was to go for a run after the match. So just after 8.00am I set off in a new pair of Asic 2100 and my new cap. Always a nice feeling that first run in a new pair of shoes.

Aim was for a easy run, and ideally staying under the 135 HR. But I always find that difficult on this course as there are many undulations and some gentle but long inclines. As well the temperature at this time of day was higher than I am used too, which seems to bump the Heart rate up a bit.
The first lap was 35:10 (HR 142) and the second was 36:45 (HR 146). Pleased with that considering the long run on Friday night.

That made for just over 70k for the week.
