Wipeout - The week of no running

Its a good thing I am so well trained for a marathon, because this week I had a seven day marathon at work with the commencement of the Desalination Pipelay Project and the TBM recovery. So for the first time in a long time I had a full seven days of no running.

Fortunately it was a successful week, and now I can look forward to some easier time, which should include time for running.

Key goals will be
SMH Half this weekend
Woodford to Glenbrook
Gold Coast maybe?
King of Mountain Mt Scarzi run
City to Surf
Mt Wilson to Bilpin
Sydney Marathon

New 10k PB

Since Canberra I have been feeeling terrific. I have kept up the fast 10k runs to Lapa and back and on the follwong weekend I ran a long run Saturday and 2 * 10k cuicuits of Lane Cove 10k course. This week again did the 10k sprints and then ran the Striders Homebush 10k in 38.59. I am getting better at judging pace. That's what I aimed for, so it was pleasing. Then ran the Tourist Trot Star on Sunday in 2hr 20. All good. Plenty of energy left. Went straight to work and dived all day. Still had energy left.
