Recovery Run

No run Monday. But felt pretty good. No doms or niggles
On Tue ran 11k easy to Lapa and back. Felt good on pleasant evening but immediately fell asleep when I got home.

Sydney Marathon Sep 23 2013

Pleasant day. Ran with Ben as 3.15 pacers. No problem with the pace but I was tired at the end and sore. We had some good performances this year and about 6 runners stuck with the group to the end. Came in at 3,14.30.

Lead up to Sydney Marathon

Have fitted in runs where I can. But I have been feeling fit and strong. I entered Boston this week and the Bogong to Hotham. I also volunteered at the Centennial Park Ultra which was fun. This weekend I am pacing the 3.15 group in the marathon. That should be fun.

Coast Run Sun 8/9/13

Very weary after a 36 hour emergency repair but dragged myself out and plodded off toward the Bondi stack. After Maroubra the legs felt a little less dead and I started moving well especially up all the stairs. Fell in with one guy sprinting at Bondi and we ran to the top of the hill together. I think I almost killed him.
Then ran back down to Bondi and got a Frosty Fruit and party mix lollies.
Went up Bondi Rd to the Junction down to Centennial with another guy who I fell in with who had good speed on. Then around the park and down to Doncaster. At Kingsford I really started suffering as fatigue set in and I fought the urge to lay down and sleep.
Walked for a while and then plodded to Perry St and up to Malabar.
About 35k all up. Well stuffed and now having long bath.

Balmain Bungle Star Sun 1 Sept

Perfect weather for the first day of spring. Large but slow 6.20 group. I left the them behind on the first hill. Then I ran with a guy called Mike to the 20k mark where I slowed for a chat with Mike K. Left Mike after a k and ran alone from Cooks River to the finish. It was a challenge to keep the pace going as I had occasional bouts of diarrhoea. Yuk.
Ran strongly to the finish but pleased to finish. Total time 2.25 for about 30k.
Then met Janet at the breakfast and walked round the Bay run with her.
Got home and serena cooked me scrambled eggs for Fathers Day.
