Getting Back into it.

Had every intention of doing nothing until Tuesday but was bombarded with late night texts from Kanser wanting me to join him for his Sunday long run. So despite a late night watching the start of the English footy i was out and about waiting (again) for the Kanser at 8am. As per usual he was late but for once i didn't mind as the 'Mermaid' Emma was passing and gave me the chance to run and have a chat with her for a flat lap, Got back to the cafe and still no sign, then J-Fen came by so tagged on to him before Davie ambles up and joins us. Johnno doesn't mess around on Sundays doing 4.05s so after one lap Kanser and I dropped off and did our own thing knocking out one of our 8k loops we do.
Pace was kept honest without killing ourselves and  i had no issues with the hammy that i was pleased with, i left Kanser to do his final lap by himself as i cruised back to the cafe for a little under 20ks for the morning.
All up 19.2k in 85 minutes averaging 4.28 per/k - Happy with that on a beautiful winters morning that had the feeling that spring is in the air and not far away at all.
Well another big block of training is coming up over the next 4 weeks - not along stint but should lead us nicely into the Sydney Festival and the Half that i will do. I did have Mikey Conway challenging me to a head to head at the next Striders 10k at North Head before that though so i best sharpen up for that race as well. I might even give Tommy H a call to see if he wants to back his boy again :)

No sign of any breaky at the House of Kane's this morning, although in all fairness he did invite us over for the afternoon as its Young Conor's 2nd Birthday and there is a bit of a party happening. Not sure if i can make it as i have an afternoon in Surry Hills planned with a few beers that i feel i have missed out on over the past 5 weeks:)

Cheers

  1. Oh so this "injury" you have been carrying didn't stop you knocking out 20km's??

  2. Yes Enda, Just nice and cruisy, infact it was pretty slow and you could have even joined us and kept up.
