Time to Catch Up

(*Sorry, these entries are not the words of Paul {note the clever sidestep to avoid blasphemy}. Could someone please hand me a flak jacket? I'm sure I'll have need of it, for once more daring to paraphrase the words of Paul.*)

Saturday
1 hour run, easy. 1.5 hour bike ride, not easy.

Sunday
Slept in, and then pretended that not wanting to borrow car was excuse for not doing long run in the morning. Went fishing (in the car), did a sort-of-long run in the evening, 1hr 45.

Monday
This one I can't make up, don't have a clue, but there would have been a run done, and it would have been something like 1hour easy, again pretending to make up for the whole Sunday sleep in thing.

Tuesday
Oh no, technical stuff that I wasn't really paying attention to. What was it - um, maybe 5 x 1km, all sub 3', last one 2' 52". Something like that.

(*and while I'm online, in case I run out of time to post much later in the week, Happy Birthday Greta. Grid-iron player? Have a great party*)

Friday

Arrived at Homebush ready for NSW 10km. But not quite ready mentally. Anyway. Goal was to beat Troopy, as I was the 2nd fastest runner in the field, 28'30". That goal was gone after 1 lap. 2nd goal - to run sub 30'. That goal was gone after 2 laps. 3rd goal - to run sub 31". Gone after 3 laps. Next goal, to get off track as quick as possible. Found a spot a 200m to escape track. All in all, total waste of time. Should have kept training hard at home . Never mind. Always next year.

Wednesday, Thursday

Am- 1/2 hr,
Pm 45 mins.

Thursday
40 mins easy.

Tuesday

(*Sorry, I left the piece of paper I wrote yesterday's entry on at work. This is a paraphrase*)

Ran 3k at track, in a massive storm, ankle deep in water, 8'57", dodging little kids and old ladies, then froze waiting for a lift home. Thinking about trying for 40+ NSW 10k record on Friday night.
