A quick summary of the last few weeks
Tues 21st - 1km reps on Treadmill, a wierd session, struggled after about 3 reps, stopped and did a recovery and then managed to run through another 3 reps...
Wed 22nd - Summer Series Balmoral, decent run very hilly and scenic
Thu 23rd - Joined the Strider Juniors for a 5km TT at Manly, despite heat/humidity and dodging pedestrians posted a 19:55
Fri 24th - A MLR on my Castle Cove Loop
Sun 26th - Managed to sneak in a leave pass for 2 laps of Quarry Rd. The first one was a bit of hairy chest running with DJB and Tropical Thunder running a 68 min! They were stronger on the uphills but I balanced that with some hard downhill running. Second lap they went easier and I ran a 74 (also a little easier)
Wed 29th - Summer Series at Dee Why, some dodgy control setting and route planning saw a very long and late run
Fri 30th - We went up to the Hunter Valley with some friends, did a out and back run from the cabins to the New England Highway, very very hot, humid and also hungover
So ended 2010, a year of ups and downs
Positives
- Massive Six Foot PB in March
- Half Marathon PB in October
- Consistent training since August
- Dropping around 10kg
Negatives
- Back injury wiping out May through to July
- Another horrendous GNW experience
In the end, despite not running for pretty much 4 months I managed to just ecplise my 2009 running total (had to run hungover in the heat on the 31st to do so!)
For 2011 I've got most of the first 6 months already mapped out
- February - Metrogaine 6 hour title defence
- March - Six Foot Buckle run and PB attempt
- April - Canberra Marathon PB attempt
- May - TNF100 for debut 100km finish
- July - Gold Coast Marathon for further PB reduction
