Bring it on... the massage that is!
Tuesday 06/03/07:
Abit lazy this morning, left it till the latest possible time to head out - just after 6am... Our wonderful stretch of fine, warm weather continues - now that its officially autumn we're getting a summer! But I'm not complaining, makes for very pleasant running conditions at that hour of the morning...
All very easy stuff today:
Brisk walk warmup: 5mins
Easy paced run + 5 x 15sec sprints: 35.43mins, 6.53km, Max 3.28min/km, Ave 5.28min/km.
Brisk walk cooldown: 3mins
Mind you tomorrow is even easier - same as above but only 2 x 15sec sprints. Have to say the 15sec intervals are soooo much easier than the 30sec ones! Much easier to keep pace and more importantly - form. Even cracked the 3.30min/kms of my previous sprint sessions - by a couple of seconds! But recovery was so much quicker and easier too. Even tho it was done on the road, I really quite enjoyed the sprints today.
Courtney has come down with a bit of a summer cold the last couple of days and tonight I have been sneezing a lot and have a bit of a tingly nose. If I am getting a cold I will be very annoyed! Can't actually remember the last time I had one, certainly it was many months ago... but now is not the time! Been trying to avoid her as much as possible, but this becomes a little difficult....!! Hee hee.
Ewen - thanks for the advice about track running and the sprints. Calf still has a bit of a sore spot today, but didn't feel it when running at all. Have been doing a bit of self-massage on it with some Anti-Flamm and it is a bit better, but looking forward to that massage tomorrow night.
2P - thanks for the invitation to next years SFT. However I think I should probably get a "standard" marathon under my belt first don't you? That's next years goal, so maybe 2009 for SFT !!!!!!!!! Can wait to 'read all about it' from you guys tho.
Sara - sorry to hear about GD Barbie, you poor traumatised thing you... I had better ensure the same does not happen to Courtney! Perhaps sending you one of hers may help heal the pain? Now lets see, you can choose from Ballerina Barbie, Tropical Barbie, Pregnant Barbie (I kid you not - but don't worry, shes wearing a wedding ring!), School Teacher Barbie, Princess Barbie, Mermaid Barbie.... um, Rapunzil Barbie, Catwomen Barbie (yes boys, she has a whip!) ..... or perhaps you'd just prefer Ken ?!?!?!?!
Celeste - thanks for all of your comments lately. I'm getting excited for myself let me tell ya! (in case you hadn't noticed!!) This will be my 7th HM since Nov 2003 when I did my first, but I love events and love this distance. Bring it on...
Almost past my bedtime kids, night!

Time to take A LOT of vitamins! Thanks for the offer (and I LMAO when I read about pregnant Barbie!) but I moved onto Cabbage Patch Kids very quickly after Barbie's "incident".

Alana has never really been into dolls, even though she had a brief thing about Bratz dolls, which have now been discarded.
Hope the cold doesn't take hold of you. Nothing worse than running when you feel like crap.
And excellent work on those sprints.

That Catwoman Barbie just sounds like too much excitement. I bet she hasn't got a wedding ring?

Hit the vitamin C girl, last thing you want is a cold - hope it is just a bit of hay fever or something.
