2:30 Long Run

I think I'm starting to settle in to having to do my long runs alone. I've set them up so that at least I finish at about the same time as the other running buddies and can have brekkie with them, so I guess it's not really like I'm all alone! LOL!

Ran down to New Farm again and did a loop around the powerhouse. Tried to find my way further down (towards the gateway) but couldn't work out how the roads joined up. I'll have to look at a map for next time. Got to my last turn around in record time (like, 15 minutes quicker than last time?) which was quite bizarre! Slightly annoying because it means I end up joining time on to the end of the route, but I'm not complaining! Faster running = very good.

I feel a little bit like I've finally shifted out of second gear and into third. Hopefully I can continue feeling this good, though I suspect that as I progress through my program, there'll be times where my body has to catch up to itself again. That's what the plateaus are for no doubt! This was week 8 of 20 - approaching half way point! Scary, exciting stuff ;) Next week I finally start upping the times until I hit 3:10 and my next plateau.

Bumped into Tess at Brekkie and wished her luck for Canberra - she was just off to the physio to get the prognosis on running the big M. I hope everyone who is running it does fabulously... I can't wait to see how you all go!
