Yesterday a bruised foot and torn tummy muscles from the stitch...a day off. Today the foot is better? (after a 2km test to get the paper). The tummy is still sore.

From the results in the paper today I can see I was running with those who placed in the top ten overall for the first mile...how crazy is that?? On the positive, once I got going again after the stitch subsided I was able to recover enough to save face and finish with my age group peers. You can see how tight it was at the end. Ran the last 6km as fast as I have in the last 3 years.

Next stop Canberra Times Fun Run

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.
