2.1 Funny Sunday

Wanted to run a firm 10k - maybe just at or below 39. Got to 6k in 23.12 and just felt so uncomfortable that I stopped. Just out of puff and not enjoying what should have felt firm but not unpleasant. Was on 3:52 pace and may have held on for the aimed for time but ... not sure what happened.

Thought I would get something out of the moring so ran 5 k and trying to feel the 4:10 pace - went too slow for the first 2 - both on 4:20 and they di dfeel very easy - then looked at my watch and I guess I was hoping that 4:10 woul dfeel that easy but not so. Increased the pace and did manage the last three in 4:11, 4:09 and 4:10 and they also felt comfortable.

Much of a nothing morning butthe weather was nice around the Bay.

Keep going Ray. I am sure today was just a little blip on the radar and you will have a great run at Canberra on Sunday.

Good luck for the run on Sunday Ray. You are in great shape and an example to us all. May your race turn out the way you want it to. See you in Canberra.

Two sleeps to go Eagle. See you tomorrow and again on Sunday. Probably quite a few times on Sunday - the great thing about loopy courses.

You're in low 2.50 shape Eagle so a sub-3 is very achievable! Good luck!
