Go the Blues!

Had a couple of tough days and am reeling feeling stiff and sore, eapecially in the calves.

Wednesday (16/6)
Wasn't feeling too great this morning. Ran an easy 20 km's with Jim around the river and Regatta Centre in Penrith. Finished with 3 relaxed strides. Time was a little over 91 minutes. Highlight of the day had nothing to do with running. The Blues victory over Qld has kept the series alive and restored a bit of Blues pride after 5 years of successive series losses. Hopefully a win in a few weeks time will give NSW a ling overdue series win. Fingers are crossed.

Tuesday (15/6)
Tough session. 9 x 1000 was planned but ended up doing 1000 x 2 / 800 / 1000 / 800 / 1000 / 800 / 2 x 1000. The cycles were only 4:15 with a 130 metre jog back to the start between intervals. Through in the 3 x 800's every other interval, just to get a little extra recovery. The track was very damp and heavy, which made running tough. Splits were roughly around 3:20 pace for the 1000's and a little quicker for the 800's. All up 19 km's including warm-up & warm-down.

Monday (14/6)
Feeling very stiff and sore. Ran a very slow 5.7 km's at Homebush.
