More of the same

Same as yesterday, but came the 14km route home as opposed to straight back after reaching the 10km mark. 2km in 8:39, 5km in 20:58, 10km in 40:49 (really pushed the Shelly Beach hill though - 2:19 for that) and 55:23 all up. Felt strong today.

Got a text from Sean this evening asking whether I'd pace Keith through 3km on his way to a 55+ World Record attempt over 5000m at Blacktown tomorrow night. He wants to get to 3km in 9:15. Thought it sounded like a bit of fun so agreed to do it. I'm now questioning my sanity! Haven't done any speedwork since the State 3000m in mid November. 9:15 will hurt. Still, nothing to lose so I'll give it a shot.

Good Luck to you and good luck to Keith, 9m15 at 3K will demolish the World Record!!

Why don't you pace him for 3ks then try to get elusive victory in the final 2ks that you couldn't manage in 2010 :)
Only joking Tom - before your brother gives me a serve?
Cheers

Hi Tim,

I had to look up the expression 'to give someone a serve' on the web. Apparently, it's an Australian expression for to give somebody a hard time. Not appropriate here as I fully agree with what you're saying regarding Tom and his easy-going attitude of late. He's become all modest and lost the fire in his belly.
Pathetic really ...
He'll be taking up golf next!
