Almost as good as a gold medal....

After 8 years and 105 runs, I finally one a much coveted Corp Cup glass at the series presentation yesterday - they are not quite as rare as a gold medal but they are much admired and hold their value surprisingly well. I rocked up after doing about 12 kms of the Wednesday Hurts session (forgot to start watch at one point, so it only reads 9kms) and was justly rewarded for not heading back to the office for some lunch. Only five of us at the session including Mike Race, Dave and Indrajit headed out for the C2S route taking it easy. I turned at Rose Bay and felt not too bad on the hills on the way home and calves seem to be loosening up a bit - stats for yesterday and happy with a 4.53 average pace http://connect.garmin.com/activity/208410190.
Got out today for the 8 x gate to gate and again a small crowd of maybe 15 including Indrajit, Mark M and Rob C. Was taking it easy and very happy to keep between 3.50 and 4 min pace for the whole set - felt comfortably uncomfortable through the last 3. Stats for today at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/208410172 and will have a rest day tomorrow and head out for a 20 min run on Saturday before the big day.
