I'm currently downloading music and since we use dialup its taking forever - so I thought I'd update my blog while I'm waiting.
Rest days over, it was time to get back into marathon training...and not of the eating kind. I decided to run early in the morning before it got too hot, as it was forecast to be about 30*C today. Also Strewth was dropping her ipod into me before she left for Sydney - a very brave woman, she is entrusting me with compiling a playlist for her!!! Then there was the shopping - I was taking son#3 shopping so he could exchange a t-short that he received for Christmas. Somehow he also managed to get 2 more t-shirts, 1 shirt, 2 pairs of boardies, a pair of sunnies and a book as well!!!!
Marathon training update:
Week 4 of 18 (easy week)
Stats:
Session - easy run
Distance -10km
Time taken - 53.30min
Av pace - 5.20min/km
AHR - 146; MHR - 161
Calories - 537
A very pleasant run - obviously 10km runs agree with me at the moment - long enough so I feel I've got a workout, short enough so that I don't crash and burn in glorious CJ style!! The glute was niggly and the back a little stiff but nothing out of the ordinary, and probably better than it has been for a while.
I am thinking of buying a pair of racing flats for the marathon, so obviously they have to have a little bit of support, but not as much as the Asics GT 2100s I run in at the moment. Any suggestions?
Now its back to the downloading.......

10k in a good time - nothing wrong with those workouts. What music are you dowmloading?
Hi CJ!
29 at 6:00?? That is sooo high. It seems it doesn't improve at night does it?? Was i complaining?
I also have a very slow conection an never download music for that reason, but which page you use??
I also bought new running shoes, I choosed nike air triax 9 but they are about to arrive.
I am going to retire with all the honors my nike shox, they worked absolutly fine.
Sounds like you are back in fine form CJ..must have been the Christmas chocolate giving you lots of energy!
Nice fast 10K! I like your cat story on your previous post. Having the incident on video would have been great!
That's a very cute cat in the pic below.
CJ, sounds like your son is a marathon shopper :-)
That's great going for a 10k training run by the way.
I'll be interested to hear what you do re the racing flats. I've been thinking the same thing for myself for a couple of years now.
I love my ipod, I don't know what I'd do without it and my Garmin!!
10K is a great distance - a nice workout but something that doesn't take all day! I don't know a thing about racing flats but the Nike Frees look cool....
