Wind and Rain
Mon 2nd 6k 31:58 (5:19)
Legs were quite stiff from yesterday's run. Felt better after this easy run done in pouring rain and a strong wind.
Tue 3rd 14.5k 1:10:38 (4:52 HR 137)
Lower aerobic run .
Wed 4th 9.5k 41:31 (4:22 HR 150)
Starting to get some decent pace back into training at last.
Thu 5th 14.5k 1:06:49 (4:36 hr 144)
A good effort after last night's speedy session.
Fri 6th 14.5k 1:11:36 (4:56 HR 135)
An easy run but still pleasing to be able to now run sub 5 Ks at 72% Max HR.
Sat 7th Rest
Sun 8th 31.5k 2:40:09 (5:05 HR 143 )
Not too many more long runs to go now before Gold Coast.

My sister just came back from a UK holiday where see did the London and Edinbourgh Marathons. I was digging around our old photos to show her some of our shots of Scotland and I came across these.
This is me finishing my first Marathon in Birmingham in 1982. It looks cold and windy because it was. A debut time of 3:48:53 and placed 1,330th.

And this is My Wife finishing our third marathon in Guildford 1983. Cold and wet but no wind that day. She did 4:15 whilst I managed 3:12:14. I am hoping for something similiar 25 years later.

That's quite a fetching Native American themed top you're wearing there Graham.

How, big chief running bull. But for the yellow tinge of the photos and the short shorts, I'd say they could have been taken yesterday. Your Wife has been well coached in the hands raised pose.
I think you're traveling well enough to give 3:12 a shake. That would be something 25 years on.

You are right on track Robert Song. It is so good to hear how well you are doing. Not running Doomben was obviously the right choice.

I too was going to ask where did you get that Indian motiff shirt you were wearing! Even at the risk of you replying:" Why do you ask Two Dogs F*%king?"
