Apologies to all my regular readers for the lack of content for the last few days - been entertaining/entertained since Thursday night!
Had a great, hard Rushcutters 8x800 session on Thursday with a big crowd and managed a new pb of 3.23 pace. Stats for that run at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/260889827
Backed up for what I thought would be an easy Friday flat run, which according to Tom's blog was at an easy pace, for everyone to agree to do Balls Head. Struggled big time and was at the back with Big Sam who was also complaining about the session, until the Waverton bowling club, when he found a fresh pair of legs and was off! Made it back and was very happy with a sub 5 min km average pace but was knackered. Stats at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/260889813 and must have forgotten to switch the garmin off after the run.
Late night on Saturday but headed out for the 6.30 striders session and missed the start so resigned myself to a flat lap of the park before going home and heading back to bed. No such luck as I met Laura and the striders at the flagpoles, so tucked in behind them and within 300m was about 5 meters off the pace. They were pushing it going up to the Oxford Street gates and along the top and even Laura wasn't suer she wass going to hang on. I dropped off at the Ocean St gates and came back around the park for 5.5kms all up. Got home but wasn't allowed back to bed! Stats at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/261974759
After yesterday's effort, had to get out today and a huge crowd for a Monday inclduing Tom, Dave, Big Same, Rob C, Timmy, Emma and Indrajit. Pace felt like it was on from the start, given the absence of Mike, but I was also struggling to breathe and chest felt really tight. Felt ok after the turnaround and pace picked up again coming back past the wharves, before Big Sam calmed people down. Happy with just shy of 11kms at 4.31 average pace.
