| Got to the gym early so did a few weights before heading to TRC. Spring Creek was on the calendar, but discovered that the Napa bound folks were doing a pace run with 4 miles at MGP. While my next race involves lots of hills, I have been lacking in runs at a sustained pace. As such I joined the pace run train. We did a 2 mile warm up then 4 miles that averaged about 7:20. The point wasn't to bust a gut, but to feel good cruising at MGP type pace. I felt rock solid at that pace so I think I made the right choice. We then cooled down back to TRC before I headed back to the gym. Good morning's work...and now I am at work...

| That hurt....16 miles on my own. Expo Hills to trail, 1-35 loop on trail, then expo hills back to the house. Very tired by the end, but I made it.

| Picked up a bit of a bug so didn't run Tuesday or Wednesday in order to get myself back to close to 100%. However, wanted to run today...decided to do a shorter speed workout to blow off some cobwebs and get some decent effort in without overdoing it. The run consisted of a warm up, 3 x 2,000s, and a cool down. 2,000s were decent enough while not being earth shattering at 8:07, 8:11 & 7:58. I felt solid throughout and could have done 1 more at around 8 minutes, but decided against pushing too hard.

| Finally beaten the allergy/cold/cough funk. Just wanted to see how the body would cope this morning. I'll do a much tougher workout tomorrow.

| Poor run today. Wanted to do 6+ at MGP. However, the petrol tank was empty so cut it short. It just seemed like a futile effort to carry on with the MGP stuff.

| Body felt tired today...4th day in a row of running. Back with the group. 2K at MGP, 3 x 1K a HMGP and 4 x 400s at 5K pace then a weary jog back to the gym. Day off tomorrow then 18 miles on Saturday.

| Tough run today. It was 40 degrees (or therabouts), but thre was a wind with some serious bite. I wasn't quite sure what to wear. I think in the end I underdressed as I felt quite cold from about half way. This made it tough to stay focused and my speed dipped in the final few miles. However, i am pleased overall that I managed to get some good distance in. Overal pace around 8:10 min/mile. I need more output...but this was never meant to be a speedy long run.

| Not sure what is going on, but legs were just empty. I could barely maintan pace for 1 x 1,000 metres so decided it would be best to cut it short.

| Needed to get some some of speed workout in this week. Headed down to the track. First 800 was a pitiful 3:25. Gave myself a virtual slap around the face. Next 800s were 3:04, 3:02, 3:01 & 3:00. Decided to head home at that point as legs were tired and needed to get a long-ish run in the next day.

| Left it to the afternoon to run as I did the speed workout yesterday afternoon. Didn't have high hopes, but decided I needed to "push" on this run in much the same was as I had the day before. I thought I'd see hwo the first mile went and then go from there. First mile was 7:48, and just went from there. Ended up with 3 MPG miles, and average pace of 7:34...good stuff!!!
