3k TT

Felt inspired to go along to the last time trial before the GCM...there but for the grace of God go I...122 other PCRGers also rocked up on a particularly chilly morning.

I ran a 'pace' run, just holding myself back but trying to run consistently. Felt good cruising along. Towards the end I caught up to Gerard & gave him a bit of encouragement, counted off the time for him etc. finishing in 10.45.

Recovery the next day & everything seems ok, will run again tomorrow.

25k long run

Surprised myself on Sunday by running for two hours. Dropped T off after 75 mins (he was dragging the chain after a torrid ball chasing session the night before). Felt light & unencumbered so ran another 'Yeronga loop' without pushing too hard. Ran in my new shoes (Asics 2130s) that I've used a couple of times on shorter distances - no issues.

This followed on from an easy 10k on Thursday after having a week off.
