......over the summer we had 2 Pro D days so that we may have some days off during the school year.....Yesterday was one of those days and it came at a perfect time. I really needed the time off and for my running some time to actually get in a routine.
It's simply nice to be able to run again, even if it means I still feel rough at times. I figure I may even do an 'aerobic fartlek' this week...then again a longer run may also be key.....it's one of thise things I did when we lived in New Zealand....they simply met for a lot of grp runs and did the odd long or short tempo runs.....nothing intense, but fefinitely very Lydiard style based training in a fun enviornment....if only we had the Auckland Domain as a central meeting point....
I was able to get Norm Tinkham and Richard Lee on a good day for me to meet them for a run. it was the day after haney so they were either a little errr....under the weather or simply tired from the day before. I was able to get in a decent 1 hr 19 min by the time all was said and done. The best part was i was then able to get in two runs on Monday of 31mins and then again for 45 later in the day. It's been a while since i did a 'double' and although my legs felt a little tired the pace was respectable.....
...now I may try for two more short runs today and then a longer one tomorrow.....
....alas things are boring running wise at this time of the year. Even for those racing it's one of the later stages to get in some good workouts for national XC and then a little break so I figure if I can get in a decent November (read motivation level) then I may not be far off for getting in some good sessions with the group in Dec/Jan....
