Rest. Warm-down 2km easy jogging.
This was supposed to feel faster than a normal Friday...and it did & was. It was supposed to feel harder than a normal Friday...and it did & was, much harder! I thought my poor little lungs would surely burst...but they didn't!

A cool, overcast morning; the track was very wet & so were my feet; 10:30a.m. start. I thought I was going to die in the last lap, but I didn't, and as Ewen said, that's a bonus!
A bonus because we need to get you to Canberra in better shape than Bernie.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise we'll just have to cheer for people like Tesso, Scott and Speedygeoff.
Good to see you putting in the hard efforts on the track luckylegs.
