Well its been pretty bloody hot here on the South Island. I never thought I would see the day were it hit 40 degrees but I now have........ TWICE. You know its hot when, at 6am, you are out running topless!!
Luckily I have had to start work at 10am for the last 2 weeks and because I havent been finishing until around 7pm, I have been training early on in the day. Otherwise I would have done bugger all!!!
The last 2 weeks have been solid training wise with both weeks being 110kms plus. Sessions have been strong and I guess that comes with consistency. Rolled out 2hrs and 7 minutes this morning in the hills and felt good. More importantly I recovered enough to chase Jack and Hunter Gillard around at the park at lunchtime. I think Hunter is definitely gunna be a gun runner like his parents if thats whats he decides to get into. The kid has way too much energy and is always asking "Do you wanna race?" He's no slouch when he takes off either.
Heading off to the Gold Coast next Sunday for 10 days (Honeymoon) and plan on running everyday whilst there. The resort we are staying in has a Gym so I may do some sessions on the treadmill so that I can stick to the program a little easier. Might hard to do 1km reps when you dont have a course mapped out, but the tready will help.
Next race is the Nile 10 Mile on Feb 22. Its 4 days after we get back from Goldy so hoping to run a solid time. Wont make any predictions but expecting a good one.
