Mon Tue 11/12 July

Mon - Easy 10k to Lapa and back. Absolutely freezing. Ran with the hoody on.
Tue - Strides at Pioneer then 5 * 900m on top oval. First time that I have felt pain free. Still not very fast. 3.35,3.25,3.20,3.14,3.16. Best I have done was this time last year 3.05. Reckon I will get back to that soon. 3.00 is a good goal.

Sri Chimnoy 10k Dolls Point 10/7/11

Very cold windy morning. Accompanied by Coach Amy. A smaller turnout than usual no doubt due to weather.
Enjoyed the run. No injuries or strains at all at the moment. First 5k in 19.30 and home in 39.30. So lost 30s in last 5k.
Did 5k cool down with strider Nick afterwards.
Through the week did slow 12k with Hon on Mon, no run Tue/Wed, Intervals at Pioneer top on Thu, no run Fri. Sat 17k to Cape Solander.

Striders Homebush 10k 2/7/11

Very unmotivated but Somehow dragged myself out. No 40min pacer today, and very few people I knew, but just wanted to run to how I felt. First 5k in 19.33 feeling the strain but OK.
Unusually I was all by myself in the second half. One guy stayed 30m in front but it was 200m to the next guy behind me. So I wasn't pushed.
At. the end I noticed an ache down left glut but Otherwise OK.

Woodford to Glenbrook 26/6/11

Almost no running for several weeks and coming off big offshore diving job there wasn't a lot in the fuel tanks.
Mike the Hammer was there and I fell in with him fir a pleasant run at a bit under 5 mins k. Mike came in for 9 min PB of 2h 1min. I then ran back 5k to meet Kayla who ran it off the couch and was struggling a bit when I found her at 20k.
She bravely walk/ran to the end. Gutsy effort.
Rewarded ourselves by going to Common Ground with Honor
