Loving this time of the year

What a great time of the year to be in Perth, weather been fantastic and with temps ranging in max from 27-30, how can you go wrong? Mornings starting to get slightly cooler but still ideal for running.

Week in Summary 104k@4:36

Ran doubles a couple of days. Need to get more motivated and get up at 5am if I'm to do medium long runs through the week, running these at night not an option at present.

Tues am 11k@4:41
pm 12.15k@4:56 Went down to Perry Lakes for a change of scenery and then proceeded to do an hour run at very easy pace.

Wed am 10.15k@4:55

Thurs am 11.27k@4:36

Fri am 11k@4:32 included 200-250m at quicker than MP at start of each km from km 2 to mix it up a bit.
pm 8.07k@4:15 MP average including middle 4k@4:04

Sat am 10.34k@4:32

Sun am 30k@4:29 Long run with Craig, pretty even running throughout with slowest km for the run being 4:37. Felt good throughout and legs felt great other than the Piriformis which tightened up and was quite sore from 24k onward but good to simulate latter stages of Marathon. Was tempted to go for a pm run but instead took the dogs on long walk with Trace.

Hoping for another 100km week this week.

27-30c ??..I thought it's almost winter, but at least the mornings are cool. Impressive long run at 4:30 pace !

yeah good weather and another week ahead of some of the best weather in the world. We got to make the most of it.
Top notch long run that. Solid stuff during the week too. Building some good momentum there by the sounds.

Great to see you're training's going so well - I'm envious because, as you say, this is such a great time of year to run..
