Blue Dog, Razor, Katie, Deanne, Helen, Kerry and I meet at the very civil time of 5:15 for our mid week run. We discussed a few route options, and then headed into the park. It was really quite dark this morning, so we ran along the road as the surface is pretty good and there was a little more light. We then came up with half plan and headed towards Rose Bay. We bid farewell to Kerry and Helen, and the rest of decided to run the along the C2S course, and then head back to the Park via Bondi Road. Kit, Deanne and I were laughing at the fact we were actually running up Heartbreak Hill after such a big weekend, but it's all conditioning. By the time we got the top of the hill we were surprised that we had already reached the top, it's amazing how a trip up Pluvi puts things into prospective. No sooner had we hit Bondi Beach we then hit the climb up Bondi Road. As were running up Bondi Road, I reminded Deanne of our mantra "we are fit and strong", Katie reminded us when we finished our run that we forget "we are fast". In the end we ran 21km, with an average pace 5:55/km, which is pretty good as the first few kilometres we very sloooooow.
Today I am finally going to enter Six Foot. I have been putting this off and questing my ability, but I suppose you cann't die wondering.

Woo hoo!!!! Go Bernie. Big decision but oh such a good one.
Great to know that Heartbreak Hill can be conquered.
Keep up the good work. That DOG will be getting nervous he won't be the fastest in the family for long :)
Geez Bernie - you run the entire track on Sunday and then back up with another 21k today and you question your ability....
Have to agree with 2P. You are more than ready. After all the hard work you've been doing I thought it was a given you were doing it anyway :-)
Again, tesso and 2P you are both oh so wise...

SUPER G

Big run Bernie, I thought you would have already entered.
You are so ready Bernie, if you didn't enter I would have to pistol whip you, "Mmmm pistol whip".
Sounds like your training is going well!
