Running, Running and more Running!

So on sunday, i decided that i would do my normal 2k run and find out whether i had in fact gotten any faster with all of the long runs that i had been doing. To my surprise, I managed the first k in 4.5mins and the second in 5. I possibly went a little too hard in the first one, but i figure that is still a bit of an improvement than a couple of months ago, when i was looking about 7mins per k....

Monday night, I had all good intentions to go for a ride, but they went by the wayside and i decided that i would lie at home under the doona and watch australian story instead...

Tuesday, I went for a 30min ride into the city to meet a friend for lunch, went home did a 2.6k run (17mins) then went to the gym, did another 30mins on the bike at 100+RPM and a fair chunk of resistance as well as 15mins rowing. I then had KFC for dinner...bad lindsay :)

Today, I went for my long run despite being sore and tired from yesterday. I picked up my favourite training buddy cooper and we went for an hour and 4mins (nothing like an exact science now is there). I was planning on taking it easy today, but quickly remembered when i set out that near coops place is very hilly...so i probably wasnt quite hitting the 8min a k mark that i normally use for the long run, but i would be close...


Oh and that is the infamous cooper i speak off! 35kgs of resistance :)
