Four day weekend
Marge: Speaking of leaving home ... Homer, your supervisor just called in. He says if you don't come in today, don't bother coming in on Monday.
Homer: Woo Hoo! Four-day weekend!
Did a hard session on Thrusday, of 16km, including 15km in about 63 minutes. A bit quick, but felt strong the whole way. Planning on a longer, slower session, but if you've ever tried to run slowly to the B52s, you'll know my dilemma.
A combination of child minding duties, work deadlines and a trip to the emergency ward to have Amelia's finger sewn back on, meant a four-day weekend off running. Came back today with a 12km road run, my longest road run for ages. Cruised at 4:40/km, never entirely comfortable with the pace, but not pushing it - the hills taking the biggest toll. Hoping to alternate on and off road running this week to get up to 4-5 sessions, and start building a consistent base.
Was tempted to do the Cherrybrook 5km on Sunday, and looking at the winning time, felt I could have won it (it was a minute slower than my 2nd place last year). However, I am learning that the things that are important you have to wait for - there will be a time in the future when the timing will be right, and trying to have it all now will probably see me end up with nothing.

Comments: Pushed a bit too hard, as this is longer than I have been for a while, but felt really good,falling into a steady pace. Kicked down a bit at the end, which tested a little, but surprised how easy this felt.
