Even more reliable standby : 3 x 3k

Still thrashing out another speed (?) session but thank heavens tomorrow is a rest day with no run at all. A bit wet and coll around the Bay this morning - in fact some heavy rain as I headed out of the house and over Iron Cove bridge. Thankfully it was down to a light drizzle when I got to the start of the 5k challenge course.
Felt okay and though a 3 x 3k session would be tough but do no damage to the preparation for the marathon. Fully expected the times to be in the 12.30 - 12.45 range because of the work done in the last few days. Don't always expect the expected as the times were 11.58, 11.54 and 11.48 - hard but managable and each one got faster.
Still amazed at the drop in time over a few days. It can't happen that fast - I suspect it is just I have recovered from 6ft and are now running times that were always there I had just not run the sessions. Whatever the time are being run and that is what is important.
