Dead legs









Session: 7 x 2min intervals (1min RI)
Distance: 6km
Time taken: 31.40min
Av pace: 5.17min/km (it felt faster than this!)
AHR: 154; MHR: 191

This morning’s interval session was bloody hard work after the lower body weights session yesterday. However I worked my arse off during the 7 x 2min fast intervals and mentally ticked them off as I completed each one. Some days are like this – I persevere and push through the tiredness, the heaviness and slowness and yet on other days I just completely wimp out. So a good short session this morning.

Tomorrow: Rest day though will do ab/core stability and strength exercises

Sunday – Canberra half marathon & Mothers Day. So happy mothers day to all the mothers out there!

At least you did the session CJ. I don't know why runners are grumpier about bad speedwork than a bad steady run. After all, there are good days and poor days in all sessions.

I have word for those run ..... Oi Potatoe! .... was originally OIGTOBAHDATO .... I made it up .... it isn't a real word ..... I know that might shock you .... it actually means Oh It's Going To Be A Hard Day At The Office.

Still waiting on Websters Dictionary to call me back about my submission to have it included in the next edition.

I'll let you know.

I thought Mothers Day was the first Sunday in May?

So why did they shift it this year?

To help CJ celebrate a great run in the Half Marathon.

Have a great mother's day run and I hope your boys are going to waiting at the end with coffee and chocolate.

I have now been suitably informed that Mothers Day always was and always will be the second Sunday in May.

That Sri Chinmoy called their 4k/10k runs on May 7th, "Mothers Day" Fun Runs, really threw me this year.
