| Oh dear. Felt awful after a couple of miles so decided to return to based. If last week was my best long run in two years, this was my worst ;o( |

What a difference a week makes. Last week I was on top of the world. Today, I felt like I was running in slow motion. Oh well, I made it ;o).
Warm up then 8 x 800 meters, followed by a cool down. |

I needed that. While I didn’t shatter any records on this run, it was a good confidence boost after a tough week or so. The workout consisted of a 1 ½ mile warm up then 5 x 2,000 meters on a gravel trail that had a number of twists and turns. I started out conservatively as I wanted to get 5 repeats in. I tried to pick it up at the end, but the legs were tired. My calves also got a little tight as I decided in my infinite wisdom that I should wear my vibram five fingers ;o). Ok enough of the excuses, here are the splits: 8:02, 7:56,7:49, 7:49 & 7:43. After that I jogged home to complete the evenings work. | |

| Cool morning with a steady northerly breeze. Calves were tired after the 2,000s in the vibrams. Pace was 7:43. Not earth shattering, but solid stuff. |

| Don't give up, that was the story of this run. It was down to the track for my regular 8 x 800 metre repeats. I just couldn't generate any leg speed so the splits were pretty awful. However, I didn't give up, and hopefully that will pay off in the long run. |

| Started out with the intention of doing a 1 mile warm up, then 7-8 at MGP, and then a 1 mile cool down. However, the legs weren't having any of it. Still a good opportunity to catch up with a running buddy who's been out of town for a few weeks. |

| I had an awful week at work at last week that left me feeling shattered so I ended up not doing my last 2 runs of the week. However, this morning I was reminded why I enjoy running so much. I paced a friend for the 1/2 marathon, and also ran 2 mile to/from the start and (close to the) finishing line. The pace wasn't electric, but it was great to be out there, see and hear the crowd and just soak it all up. Great stuff. Oh, and my friend was able to beat his 1/2 marathon PR by over 5 minutes and ran 1:48 and change. |

Warm up then 8 x 800s followed by a cool down.
I'm taking tomorrow off then its time for 17-18 on Saturday. If I do then I'll make it to 66 miles, i.e. double my age in miles in my birthday week. I'd be pleased with that! |
