Hmm starting to lose hope for the race am not worried about quitting running have kept it up to long to worry about that but am just not improving fast enough less than 8 weeks to the race and Ray is running twice as far and twice as fast as me and I just don’t have any time left to improve.

Good Run
Man had a really nice run last night was a good strong pace and the whole 4K felt really easy but beyond that the clouds were out and the wind was blowing was a awesome feeling being out there running in weather that 6 months ago would have had me on the lounge eating hot chips with gravy. Still just can’t get over the difference in my attitude from then to now. Linda said as I was walking out the door last night “isn’t it a little cold to go for a run?” my reply was “Probably but I’m going anyway”. Now as I can finally start to feel the last six months starting to come together I can see how certain things are just becoming easier to do it’s all good.

UPDATE
Stupid 19/11/2006
Well once again I did the stupid thing yesterday was going for a 10K run and was looking to beat my PB (which is also the time I logged the first time and ran the distance I have yet to beat it). Left the house just after 4:30pm in the afternoon by 2K in I new something was really wrong did not feel like I should of and it ways really starting to hurt in my chest. I tried to push through it but by the 4K mark I was gone could barely put one foot in front of the other and was really light headed and confused about were I was I have never felt anything like it. Was trying to find my phone and then realised that since I wanted to travel light I hadn’t packed my mobile also as I wanted to not carry a backpack I didn’t have any water with me. That’s when I realised that I was just really dehydrated. Invaded the first front yard I found with a water tap and managed to get a little water down my throat even still I had to walk the rest of the way home. Got home and felt really stupid as I have already been through this lesion about 3 times and I should really be past it but hey can’t win them all. So drank about 4 litres of water last night and started to feel a little better.
Good Run 24/11/2006
Went for a 5K run this afternoon and it was probably my best run this month not sure what’s happened this month but have really lacked motivation. Can feel myself starting to slip a little but the run today has put me back on track. Was a good strong run I finished well with more left in the tank which is a good feeling as I am normally buggered after a long run.
Speed 27//11/2006
Got up this morning as I missed my long run yesterday and decided to do a quick couple of K’s as I didn’t have time for my 10K run will need to do that tomorrow. Things went well and was happy with my time of 13:58 for 2K it was a little slower than my PB but maintained a better speed throughout the whole 2K when I normally go hard and then slow in my 2K run’s.

Getting Speed
Finally starting to feel like I am getting some speed into my runs went out of Tuesday night and had a 1K warm up then ran 2K as fast as I could plus a 1K cool down. Felt really strong as I did the 2K but was still buggered at the end so finally starting to push myself hard which is a good thing as only 11.5 weeks to go.

Your last run is not always your best
Your last run is not always your best
Man did I prove this theory on the weekend went out for my run on Sunday first run of the new program and I was really looking forward to a good long hard run had left a bit down the whole weekend and was looking like improving my 10K PB. Unfortunately it was just not meant to be I headed out at 2:30 and there was a lot of wind and rain around but spirits were high. About 2K in I new something was wrong had done it in over 17 minutes and was way behind my normal time felt really hot and dry even though it was raining only realised after another K or so that I hadn’t drunk anything all day felt like a right idiot after that realised I was really dehydrated and things weren’t looking good as I was starting to get really light headed. Decided to cut it short and pulled up at my parent’s house 5.41 K later in at 44:38 but feeling really stupid and very tired. But all in all a good lesion to listen to your body and if it tells you something is wrong LISTEN. Felt better after I drank about 2 litres of water over about an hour so all in all pretty dumb but not the end of the world. Looking forward to my next run on Tuesday as I am starting my exciting speed work program and it looks exciting.
