I had an hour on the program today but All Hail King Taper.... so I did 6kms nice and relaxed. When I left the gym tonight it was raining and I had the urge to run again. We have had hardly any rain and it feels so fantastic to be out in the rain....dinner won out :-)

Arrived nice and early and did about 3km warm up....took a while to warm this morning. We had laps of the lake this morning and I had 1 lap with an active break and then two laps. Sean instructed to put in a good effort on the first lap as there would be enough recovry for a good second lap. So we took off and I felt really good and managed to maintian the pace for the whole lap. I finished in 6:09 (1 km split was 4:13) which I could not believe. My best time around the lake has been 6:35. Bernie and I then kept jogging until the second rep. I started the second rep with Ray and he encouraged me to run with him, but after 400ms he was slowly leaving me in his dust :-) As I passes Sean for the first lap he was telling me to reel Ray and Dean and Sheena in.... I was able to keep them at a consistant distance :-) Second Rep was 13:05. I felt great running this morning and in a much better frame of mind! I talked to Sean and he instructed me to not race the 10kms on Saturday and to aim for 50mins. I think I will be feeling to excited and toey to do what I am told so I might run my run before the race and then I can focus on just hosting the run and cheering Ray :-) We had another Celebrity appearance this morning ;-)
