easy run, long drive

I'm writing this ver early on Friday morning (3am) Stupid bloody dog next door decided to start barking now I can't get back to sleep!
Anyway since I forgot to write yesterday I may as well do it now.
Plane leaves soon & I had to get up at 4am.

The run I did yesterday (Thursday) was a very easy, flat 14k from Belmont to Blacksmith beach then back. I really took my time. I ran without a watch so I have no idea of the pace.
Legs were good, slightly heavy though. I'm hoping it will all come together on Sunday & they will feel like they have an extra spring in them!

I dropped my girls back. Long drive from Newie to Uladulla. (spelling??? They have a van down there) then drove back to the Central Coast.

It was sad to see them go again. We had such a blast these holidays.

Friday will be no running, just getting my way to Melbourne.

4 days to go!

Tiff getting all buried!

Kenisha your looking so grown up!


Not long now!!! No running today, just spent it with my girls.
Took them shopping then to the beach.
We spent around 2hrs at the beach
Thats pretty much my day. I decided to shave my head....(might make me run faster!) I haven't shaved my head all year.
tomorrow I'll do an easy 10-12k in the morning. I have to drop my girls back tomorrow:( how quick the week has gone

Last hard workout

Did my last speed session until the marathon. Ran 15.5k in 1:11:29 (4:36)
Ran a mixture of hills where I ran hard up & flat. On the flat I did fartlex. Ran from Belmont to Redhead beach then back.
Knee was sore at the start but got better as I ran. Legs felt heavy

With the girls we went to Mingara pool & spent a few hours there then to The Entrance for some lunch & to watch the pelicans get fed.

Food for the day consisted of toast for b'fast
Tuna salad for lunch
Creamy spag bol for dinner.
Bout to go munch into some homemade carrot cake..yummmmm!

No running tomorrow

rest day & I'm buggered!

No running today.
We went into Sydney on the train. Spent the day at luna park & over at Manly. WOW! The Manly jass festival was on & it was so packed over there. Trying to get back on the ferry was a nightmare. The ferry was full. We were the last to get on. If we were any further back in the line we would've had to wait till the next ferry.

Tomorrow I'll do a speed session. Might include some hills. This will be the last hard run until the marathon

1 week to go!

Tiff, Kalinda & Skyla

Kalinda getting that damn trigger point out!

Almost there. Did my last long run today. 31.5km in 2:30:16 (4:46)
Ran from Belmont to Caves beach via blacksmith beach & swansea then back. Got running at 8:15am & it was just magic weather!
I could feel my knee at the start but it was ok.
I had to get Kalinda to get a trigger point out of my back after the run. Man she got in hard with her elbow!!!! (check the pic)

I took 3 of my girls to megamania & they ran wild for around 4hrs
Tomorrow were off to Sydney....luna park & stuff.

Had 1 slice of toast with jam & coffee before run
Had coffee & salad roll & chips for lunch
Dinner was dominos pizza
