Coming home

Just some easy running today from the airport hotel and the village of Le Mesnil Amelot. 90 minutes all up. Then the long journey home and back to reality.
Three months away is a long time. I already know the car doesn't start. I imagine Bella is quite chubby. Life at the beach, trying to play with a pocket sized dog with a heart problem named Basil must be tough. Wait until Bella finds out she is on a diet of pumpkin (we have 14 in the garage from last crop) and running 120km a week. I can already see the smile on her face:-) See you all soon xx

SBx & Minnie, thanks for the great ride, I have enjoyed every moment of it. How good was it to be in Paris when Cadel came across the line with the maillot jaune on his back, Yell for Cadel for a few more days...

Welcome home see you both soon.

Long Intervals

Of me: Early set. Same set as last 2 weeks, quicker again. 2000m (631), 1600m (5:13), 1200m (3:57)[first 4 efforts at 10km pace], 800m (2:30), 400m (69)...all with 200m recovery. Running technique much better. Form much better...not sure how much the form is due to iron jab or 5 weeks of consistent training and some great sessions. Of the others: I paced 5200m at exactly 4mins/km. Roget and Tori did what they could at that pace. Maria did 3 x 1000m. Janene on her own did similar to other weeks in the 4:10-4:15 range. Heidze did 1600m, 1200m, 800m, 400m and looking very comfortable in doing so. Kathy some strides. Helen this morning 4 x 7 minutes.
