Christmas Day 10k 2008

Dragged myself out for 10.2k around Heffron oval. Averaged 4.16 mins a k. Then ran to office and carried a Playstaion 3 back home (they are heavy!). Arrived at 9am for presents, then to Neil's for a huge feed and big water pistol fight.
Boxing Day had pleasant 1 hour run with Heidi to the end of Prince of Wales drive on the breakwater and back. She was really fatigued and kept falling back. I felt pretty good.

SMC 10k 21-12-08

Good morning for running. Cool no wind. Big turnout for the first running of the 10k teams event. Ran OK but with no zip. Came in about 40.03. Could have done better. I blame the intense week of stress trying to get work finished for the year. Remarkable run by Blue Dog backing up from C2K the previous weekend and overtaking me at 39k and powering ahead. Tough dude. Heidi ran 40.44.

Sri Chimnoy 23/11/08 Half Marathon

Perfect day for running. Light rain and unseasonably cool. The half marathon was three windy loops of the inside of Centennial Park. I was running well and feeling likely to run 86.?? when on the last lap I ran straight ahead where I was supposed to turn. I ended up running about 1.2kms out of my way. The other runners were calling out to me (they told me afterwards) but I was in my own little world just ahead of them. After getting back on course I was not too fazed and started reeling in the runners I had overtaken earlier. I felt really good in the last two k's and gave it everything finally finishing in 90.33. Heidi ran in the 10k event in 40.3? She keeps improving
