Six to go ..
Friday
14.5k 1:12:34. HR Avg 147 Max 158 Avg Pace 5:00
Course: Work to Riverside and Back.
Start Time: 6:10 pm Temp 24C.
Session Type: Easy Run
Another solid easy run tonight. How can it still be 24C at 6:00pm when we are only days away from winter? Out in 36:06 (141) and back in 36:28 (153)
Saturday
Since cricket season finished and soccer started I have been enjoying not having to get up early on a Saturday morning but it was an 8:30 am away game at New Farm today. Maybe the boys like me are not morning people and we went three goals down in the first 15 minutes. But we clawed our way back with a goal just before half time and then stormed home in the second half with another four unanswered goals. What an exciting match.
Sunday
31.5k 2:49:00. HR Avg 140 Max 153 Avg Pace 5:22
Course: To Bowen Bridge and Back then Gap Cycle Path.
Start Time: 6:40 am Temp 14 - 19C.
Session Type: Long Run
I set my alarm for 5:10 this morning. Unfortunately, it was 5:10pm and not am. Luckily I awoke at 6:10 and was able to get away by 6:40 and also there had been a decidedly cooler change come through overnight and it was what I would call brisk. Made for beautiful running conditions. I felt very good the whole way this morning and the legs easily handled the distance. Six more weeks till GC and I have pencilled in four more long runs. Want to do 36k next week and the week after which means missing the Doomben Half.
Weekly Total: 80k
May Total :198k
YTD: 1228K

You could always put in 15K before the half starts.

Do you call that result at the soccer a negative split :-)
I'm a bit undecided about Doomben. I thought about working into a training run, but it makes for an expensive long run.

Only six weeks to go! Bloody hell... I'd better do some long runs.
Nice pace for that 31.5k Robert. Do you think you're on target for a 3:20 marathon?

Good music refs. Love the Cat post. Why not combine the two and reference Phoebe's "Smelly cat" song?
You seem to be getting back to a good level of fitness. Don't forget the warm downs!

It is hard to believe that there is only 6 weeks to the GC. It is good that things are going well Robert Song.
