Monday morning run - 15km easy + 5 x 100m strides

Mixed it up today, being a public holiday and all. Decided to meet mum and her swimming group for coffee up at Mona Vale, which ironically happens to be exactly 15km from my front door to Mona Vale SLSC. Only issue was that I locked both sets of my house keys inside my apartment. Luckily mum has a spare! So nice running a point-to-point route, especially along the coast. Still warm today, but that wind of yesterday was not there. Felt drained and tired, so took it exceptionally easy today. Not used to hills on a recovery day, so had a few slow kilometre splits, with some periods of heart rate elevation. All up, 4:37 min/km pace with an average heart rate of 127 beats per minute. Finished off with some strides at Apex Park, then a swim and coffee.
