Still Here!
Sun AM: Run, 22.5K in 2:07, Solid long run, felt good.
Tue PM: Swim Squad, 1.75K.
Wed AM: Run 14K in 1:19, Felt really Easy.
Fri AM: Run. Treadmill intervals: 10*400m @ 13kph, 200m jog intervals @ 8kph. 8.5K in Total. Real bloody hard.
Sorry about the silence. Blame Telstra Bigpong.
Sunday's long run was a solid hitout for the last long run before GC. Ran the back half with the Tri club Sunday run.
Wednesday's run was a pearler. Just 14K of flat easy running along the Georges River. The HR didn't go above 155, and it felt awesome - it set me up for a top day at work.
Today was hard. Real hard. I took a 1.5K jog with the dogs for a warmup, and then hit the treadmill with the TV telecast of the cricket. The cricket was awesome, but the run was tough. The HR got up to 182 (97% of max) which was much higher than the same run a fortnight ago.
So now starts the taper. I'll go for 10-12K on Sunday and fit in a couple of short runs with strides next week and look forward to a big PB and joining the cheer squad on Sunday week.
The job is going fantastically. The hours are still very long, but you just don't mind when the work is stimulating, and it is.

Rapt to hear from you again Ben, especially after such a positive week.
I can't run on the treadmill at all, so I'm impressed with anything you've done on it.
The job sounds great, and a good run along the river too. Keep us informed, what are your plans for the GC? 10k or the 1/2M?
;)
Ben, when you're working as hard as you are and training as hard as you are, I htink you can be excused for not blogging quite so often. It'll all settle down in a while. Enjoy the taper :-)
