Woo Hoo its Friday!!!!

Today: 10km
Week: 45km
Month: 294km
Year: 944km

Well it is my favourite time of the week... friday evening! The longest amount of time til I have to go back to work :-) I headed out today for a 10km run and decided to do a hilly loop from home and put in a bit of effort to make up for missing big bertha yesterday.... haha my hilly loop was by far the easier option :-) I felt a bit stiff to start off with but got into a nice rhythm quickly and lapped up the nice cool temp. I just love that the humidity had gone! this run felt really comfortable. I stared a bit slower and practiced winding the pace up and then maintaining a faster pace at the end of the run. At about the 5km mark it all just felt really good and again I was having fun.... which lets face it this is what it is all about! So I finished my 10km in 49:56...... averaged 5:00min pace. I am really pleased with that effort.... I was not plodding but certainly not busting a poofal valve :-) It is all just starting to feel a little easier... gotta love that!
splits:
5,40, 5:03, 5:11, 4:55, 4:53, 5:15, 4:39, 4:39, 4:50, 4:47

Yesterday I was feeling a bit edgy.... I think it was just nervous excitment! It is starting to sink in that I have to actually run this thing in two weeks **gulp** Iam feeling really confident and happy with all my training...but it is a bit daunting at the same time. As wise DJ says Keep the faith :-) Ohh stuff it forget about nerves... bring it on!!

Kit, enjoy that excitement of being a 42.2km virgin.
Hope it's not an anti-climax losing it. I'll still respect you in the morning.
