A solid hitout

6 x 2mins, 45 sec Standing Recovery

As part of my plan to build up my speed gradually, post flu, I ran at approximately 3:30-3:40 min/km pace this morning. This entailed running running behind Jodie and Glenda and pacing myself off their efforts as I hovered at the back of the A-Team. Up front Slash took the honours closely followed by Langy. They had to do the hard yards alone as the A-Team was severely depleted this morning with the Peters, Phil, Aaron and Davo all off the scene whilst Jonesy like myself is on the way back after a shocker of a flu.

On the last rep, I easily managed to pick up the speed a little whilst sledging and encouraging Slash and Langy to catch up to me as we ran back to our starting point. That I was able to run fast and expend energy talking on that last rep was a good sign and I'll be ready to go flat strap again next Tuesday.

Don't we have a HUGE weekend of sport coming up? Lets see, tonight, I might gather with Adam and a few of the boys for a few beers to watch the start of the Fifth Test. Tomorrow night, its AFL and NRL finals on Friday Night Football. Saturday, I'm hosting a pre match BBQ for the boys before we head to Suncorp Stadium for the Broncos Quarter Final. Then doubtless, we will head to the Casino to watch the other finals that follow it along with the cricket. And we have another NRL quarter final on Sunday arvo and the US Open Final the next morning to go with the NFL season openers. God, I love September!! Life's good....sensational even!
