Half Marathon Training Begins ~~~~~

   Sixteen weeks to Southern Highlands Challenge where I've entered the half marathon on August 31st.

Not having run for the past 2 days might have something to do with finding today's track session tough...very tough!

The program for today:

10-20 min warm-up....I did 1.5k + strides
12x400m in 2:44......based on F.I.R.S.T. 5km time of 36min.
90 sec. Recoveries
10 min cool-down....did 1k, exhausted!!

The oval had been marked out for soccer and I couldn't find MY little track!  Instead, I ran along the rectangle mowed low for soccer, while the rest of the oval was wet with some long, sticky grass.

2:47;  2:45;  2:39;  2:42;  2:43;  2:43;  2:44;  2:46;  2:44;  2:47;  2:48;  2:48....slower and slower!

I can't easily recall a training session like this one.....completely done in!

For today:  7.3km
