Managed to get out on Thursday for the 3 x 2km session and one of the hardest I've done for a while. Was in the second group being led by Jit and Laura and although I'd brought the Garmin in today, forgot to take it out of the bag before heading out. Jit was running like a demon and sitting on 3.34 pace for each 2km, so I estimate I was doing about 3.40 pace for the three. All up about 9kms including the warm down.
Met up with James, Jit and Paul on Friday night and the conversation turned to doing another marathon - so seriously contemplating Canberra in April. Jit is doing the half and Paul the full, so will at least have a couple of training partners for the next few months, if I do sign up.
Out for the long Sunday run in Centennial, led by Pommy Tim, and boy does he command the respect of the group. Decent crowd with Jit, Paul, Laura, Greta, Eoin, Ben, Kermit and Kanser. First lap was at a reasonable 4.35 pace and then we picked things up to about 4.20 for the second lap. Sat on the front for most of the second lap just to see how the pace felt on no nutrition/hydration and being the first long run since the Blackmores. Couldn't have done another lap at that pace but pretty happy with the effort. Stats for today at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/410636392 and Charlie would be very impressed with a 50km week!
