Six sessions in four days

Tues AM - 2 mins, 2:30 mins, 3 mins x 2, 45SR
With a heatwave descending on Brisbane - this was a tough hitout under the Story Bridge. Backed up from Sunday's 5k race solidly enough working throughout with Jason H.

Tues PM - 30 mins easy

Wed AM - 90 mins, 19k's @ 4:41 mins/km


Green Bridge loop with Wayne and Matt L. Dennis Fitzgerald, Don Wallace and co joined me on Riverside Drive and I finished off the run with them and a good clip in the low four minute range.

Wed PM - 30 mins easy

Thurs PM - 50 mins, 10k's @ about 5 mins/km

Had a pretty restrained New Year's Eve with MJ and I joining my mates Big Fella and RooBoy and their girls for dinner at the Tepayaki Bar at Morgans Seafood Restaurant at Scarborough the previous night. I was pleased that my slips catching skills had not diminished as I caught two raw eggs in one after another in a tiny egg cup holder in each hand when the chef flipped them to me!

After the obligatory New Year's Day sleep in, I decided that being a recovery session, I would take the sensible option and run in the cool of the afternoon than at 10am.

Fri - 4 min, 3 mins x 2 with 60 SR, 1 hill

Legs were really feeling the workload of the week and I spent the session busting a gut to stay a fraction of a second in front of Andy. Was really happy to get through this one, again in warm and humid conditions.
