Rest Day and Short Sharp Hitout

24/1/05

Another total rest day on a Monday. Just trying to ensure body remains fresh and strong as the intensity in training is increasing towards Canberra.

25/1/05

Just a short sharp hitout today running 8km before Australia Day 8km Race at Centennial Park tomorrow. Wanted to see how I recovered from Sunday's long run and run out any of the cobwebs that might have been hanging around. Was very surprised at how strong and fresh I felt and had to consciously hold back and slow down in parts to ensure pace remained at 4:30 per km. Finished in a tick over 36 minutes which was the plan. I am feeling good about tomorrow's race and will be trying to run as close to 32 minutes as possible.

Looks good for wednesday race. Now we are acclimatised to running in the rain after sunday.
 
Happy Australia Day Horrie. Can't wait to hear how close to 32 you went.
