Today: 9km
Week: 9km
Month: 256km
Year: 256km
This morning we did 800's around Mckay oval at the park. I did a 2.5km warm up, strides drills and then into the 800's. Sean had me programed for 4 because I am doing the race on Thursday... some advantages! The faster group had to do 1200's. So we all started together and then we chased them for two laps. When we were doing our drills I felt really tired in the legs but once we got going I felt great. I was consciously holding back... not that it will make much difference to my racing :-) It was sooo windy this morning so I tucked in behind Allison hoping for a bit of relief.... unfortunately she is quite small so not a big wind break!! The wind was hard going for about 150m... but we had a bit of tail wind in the last 80ms or so. I really felt like I could have run my last two a lot quicker and I had to keep telling myslef "not too hard, think of Thursday"... so that was encouraging. The boys had a sprint finish on the final 1200m... I think DJ one by a nose :-) Interestingly quite a few of the group are running with bare feet... I have such dodgy feet with orthotics and supportive shoes.... my legs would probably snap off!
Total: 9km
800's: 3:48, 3:43, 3:40, 3:36
A place to think and reflect on being a mum, wife, friend, work mate and any thing else I need to be.

Way to go Kit! Good luck for your race on Thursday! I suspect you will be revising your Canberra target downward following all this great work you have been doing.
What a great feeling it is when you have to force yourself to slow down!
Can't wait to catch up on Thursday. Its almost a shame we have to spend time racing and can't just hang around and chat :-)
Thanks so much for the song request. I've just downloaded it. Its a great song, I've always liked it but never knew the name of it. Its gonna lift my spirits for sure!
Good session Kit and sensible too with a race in the near future.
There is an interesting article about bare footses in the latest R4YL.
Ok I'm curious - what was the song request that Tesso is referring to? I'm a serial song downloader!!!
Very interesting responses to the questions in your previous entries. You think knowing the words to those songs were daggy - hey at least it wasn't insy winsy spider! I'm hopeless with remembering words to songs!
I've not run for 3 days now - have an infected knee. I'm waiting for the antibiotics to kick in so I might be able to run tomorrow. My marathon training has been all over the place - at least you're being consistent!
You put the pressure right on me for that last 1200 rep. Pushed me off the edge.
I know I'm tagged too, I'll get to it. Just so lazy.
