Last speed session

Headed off to the club this morning having had hardly any sleep - last night's wine/ ice-cream or the late arvo iced coffee? Holidays are bad for the diet...Despite this I had a good hit-out, felt quick without even too much effort. Had a series of 1 min & 30 sec efforts in the gardens - also dodged a few tractors & other assorted vehicles on the narrower back path...the gardens had a music festival on the weekend & is still in chaos.

On Sunday had an easy last longer run on the River Loop circuit. I peeled off at Hardgrave Road, back along Musgrave, cutting about 10 mins off. Finished in 1.19 - is that a good omen? Relaxed in the Southbank beach before heading over to Poppy's cafe with the others for a breakfast.

Leave for Melb tomorrow about 5pm arriving 8.30 (daylight saving has kicked in), so will be out of contact until next Tues.

Will have an easy run tomorrow morning; Thursday off as usual; Friday a few strides; Saturday off. Maintaining my usual schedule but less intense. Intensity plus on Sunday @ 7am.

Looking forward to seeing you come flying past me on Sunday morn (I'll be on the sidelines cheering, probably about 1k from the finish).

Enjoy the rest of the taper.
