To start again press restart...

Restart...

There. I'm staring again. With the financial year coming to a close, and the school term concluding, it's a great opportunity to physically and mentally recharge the batteries and begin a new assault on PB's, shake off physical and mental fatigue and just become a human again.

Saturday's run @ Bendigo didn't go as I'd liked, as I think I'd psyched myself out. I ran tentatively and a little scared, and missed an opportunity to set my team up particularly well. Fortunately for me, everyone else on the team held their end of the bargain and we finished 2nd in our relay - a great result seeing as 1st place was light years ahead of everyone in the division.

Today - run to and from the gym. Just over 6ks of rolling hills on the treadmill in 25 minutes, and 2kms of climbing on the elliptical (spelling??) trainer, plus weight and abdominal work. So just over 90 minutes of work, with 14.5 kms of aerobic stuff. Again, it was good to get it out of the system.

Hopefully the opportunity arises to do some "2-a-day" training with a view of running a solid time at Burnley (sub 77), a fast 10km @ Melbourne (sub 35), a solid track season and then a fast Christchurch in June next year. There, my goals are in the visual media! Thanks Andrew S. (good luck on the Gold Coast!), your sage words have provided some wonderful perspective.
