Showed up today feeling pretty good and intending to give it a bit of a go.  Partly to sense again how it's going to feel on Saturday mo...

Sunday - rest.  I contemplated a run and then quickly dismissed such foolery. Monday - 7km solo but bumped into LJ and ran with her whilst...

Monday - rest Tuesday - 14km steady, pushing the hills. Wednesday - 13km steady, pushing the hills. Thursday - 15km steady, pushing th...

Barts, Quentin, Ray and Dicky came over this morning for the Narrabeen route with a fast finish.  Did a loop of the Golf Course at the end f...

6km super easy with Maggsy on her bike.  Done later on when the hangover had subsided.

Now you might have imagined that this was my race plan for Sydney10 but that I'd mis-spelled "fast".  But no.  This, apparentl...

Put on the Musha's and over to Rushcutters (despite Reg Bartley being out of action) for the Highnam 5 x 800m set followed by a 3km temp...

Ran home.  Was going to tag on an extra 8km around Manly but got hungry so just went straight home.  Nice and easy.

Strength with DC in the morning (final session of the block of 6) had the legs a wobbling again.  But seem to be recovering better now.  Sti...

15km with a big group including MC, Tucks, LJ, Erikakaka, Renee and others.  Cadence was high which means I'm tired.

Dicky High came over and joined up with Quentin, Justin, Banksy and myself for my old North Head/Tania Park route.  Legs were fine by achill...

Planned on a 16.5km tempo but was too tired so just did an easy 10km instead.   Told myself I was "listening to my body".  But why...

Centennial Park route solo.  As usual, sore for first 5km then ok. 120km for the week. Very solid with some good sessions.

The original and still the best, as Clarkey said after rep 3.  And he's not wrong.  This session always hurts, and I never race well on ...

21km solo around the wharves.  About 1:37 I think, but stopped and had a chat to Charlie and for some water.  That was about it. OK, a few...

First, in the am was a DCRun session.  Pretty hard work this morning with some hills and dumb bell lunges hurting me most. Then joined the s...

Ran home.  Legs felt sore.  Involuntarily farted next to a bloke in Neutral Bay.

Dropped Bec off at soccer and just ran from there.  A bit stop start as I had to pick her up after the game but in total I was running for a...

Well, after a big Thursday night, a boozy Friday lunch and another couple of beers in the evening, this morning was always going to be tough...

So with Mikey off injured, I felt I had the discretion to set a different session.  Copied something equivalent to what Sean Williams does -...
