Tuesday - Almost didn't
9.5k 43:27. HR Avg 149 Max 160 Avg Pace 4:34
Course: Work to Sydney St and Back.
Start Time: 5:35 pm Temp 23C.
Session Type: Lactate Threshold Run
Again today, I was feeling weary. Mid-afternoon I was even considering having a rest day today just to allow my body to recover. But in the end, I decided to go out and start easy and just see how I felt.
After the first couple of hundred meters, I was feeling fine and so decided I was up for my Lactate Threshold run as scheduled for today. In fact I felt good all the way tonight and managed a good time for the level of effort. Out in 21:58 (HR 144) and back in 21:29 (HR 154). Hope this cooler weather hangs around for a bit longer. The overnight rain has been very welcome. We had another 53mm last night at our place backing up the 38 mm from Saturday night.

"The rain is working very hard
It’s got to water every little seed
It’s beautifully ordinary
Making life seem very good indeed"

Those 'almost didn't' days are tough. Great that you got out the door and ended up with quite a good run.

great to hear you got under some rain. some days are a pleasant suprise like that - those are the ones you feel a buzz about for hours after, huh.
(coincidentally we did almost the same session yesterday incl the almost didn't, LT goal, the distance and time, comfort factor etc).
