.....Chickybabe off to Sydney in the morning!!
25 minutes slow, but forgot to do the 'strides' at the end! Oh well.....! Results book from GC marathon tells me I've set a new race record (age-category) for that course! So there really are some other slower runners after all!
Driving to Sydney in the morning with Ewen who will probably drag me out to do the 'strides' in the arvo!
Hot here to day; some clouds rolling in; rain is forecast; I hope it's cooler in Sydney on Sunday....so looking forward to the day!! I need to remind myself that : "As long as I enjoy the run, it will have been a success, no matter the time!"
hey LL, good luck for Sunday...i'm sure ewen won't work you too hard tomorrow!
ReplyDeletei think it's going to be a great day!!
Congratulations on your latest record. Best wishes for Sunday. Hope to see you then,
ReplyDeleteJ.
Well done on the age record!
ReplyDeleteI'm here in Sydney too and I'm with you, hope its just a little cooler Sunday.
Can't wait to catch up.
PS I think I'll memorise that quote :-)
Must pack the umbrella for our walk. There'll be no 'strides'! We could try some 'backwards drills' - they're good for 1500m runners. Looking forward to a piece of the birthday cake and a coffee!
ReplyDeleteVirtual pom poms will once again be waving for you LL
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Sunday LL. I'll be thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteNow, just which age record did you set up there at GC? Was it the 75 & over, or was it the 50-54 as our friendly QLD policeman thought?
Neither of those age categories, minersrun! Just the 75-79yrs; I've got plenty of time now (4 years)to be ready to take on the next age category!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck for Sunday LL - although you don't need it; you've been following Ewen's training program.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on achieving another record Chickybabe. Just remember how you felt during City 2 Surf and try to take that attitude into your run on Sunday, I am sure you will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThanks all & a great run to all of you too...."Go! Cool Runners!"
ReplyDeleteI noticed that you were the only competitor to break an age group record in that race. As those of us who were lucky enough to see it know, it was an incredible effort of which you should be extremely proud.
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow. Have a good one.
Good luck tomorrow LL!
ReplyDeleteFrom the land of the long white cloud. Good luck Lucky Legs. Hope you can crack it for another age record.
ReplyDeleteHope you went well yesterday! Looking forward to reading all about it :)
