3200m Tempo Run @ 10000m pace

Chiily but still conditions this evening. Still wearing too many clothes but things will get worse before they get better. Luckily I am soon in a racing block and then not on this island for a month.

All four of us ran well today. Kathy recovered from chest infection, Maria looking good and Helen running at 42 minute pace 10 days after a half marathon.

Of me: 10:31, my best effort thus far and also some good running technique again. Amazing what a few harder efforts will do for the form.

On Sunday Keith ran 38 minutes in the Merimbula Fun Run for 4th place (1st M55 of course).

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
