GCM eve

Ironic that I'm on the up & up but not entered for this year's marathon. Still, have had a poor preparation these last 7 weeks - easing off to 2 runs a week & low ks. My marathon training diary tells a checkered tale, inconsistency being the theme. 895 kms over the 20 weeks: a high of 79 ks for one week; low of 15ks.

Attended PCRG twice this week. Tuesday's attendance was huge - 135, we started in 3 waves. Warm-up run felt like I was in a fun-run - dawdling mid-pack. This morning there were 25 of us. Pat got roped into a live interview with Terry Hansen (radio) before we left. High-tech, the 2 of them sharing an ear piece from an Ipod. Terry had a dig about the low turn-out, come-on - folks are resting up...An easy session of 30sec efforts under the Story Bridge. I continued surges on the way back to the Ship Inn, felt good.

Will front up on Sunday at the Gold Coast with Camera (& brolly) & 2 watches - will track how folks are going for the HM & M. Good luck all.
