SWEATing SOLO

8 February

When the alarm went off I hit the snooze button (several times) and decided to give SWEAT a miss. However, I had a brain explosion and decided to pack my gear so I could head over Centennial Park and run the scheduled session of Wild Walter. So Blue Dog and I did our usual warm up, drills and strides then attacked Wild Walter. We both had 10 reps on the program, and I noticed Blue Dog had developed a handy method of counting our reps. He collected a stick a the completion of each rep and carried it over to the start. My reps had improved since our last session, and I was happy that my slowest was 1:54 and my best of 1:48, most of them were 1:52. It was a really good session, as I was running into a strong headwind on the decent, but focusing on chasing Blue Dog kept me moving. We both finished off the session in feeling we had put everything in and feeling great.

This morning I did a nice easy run which included a lap of Scarborough Park. I felt pretty tired , but I was pleased that my legs were feeling fresh again. I really love running through Scarborough Park; there is a small trail of wood chips surrounded with trees which makes is it hard to believe that you are actually running in suburbia. I arrived home with another 5.5km in the legs with an average speed of 5.30/km. This afternoon I am headed to my Yoga class to unwind after a hectic week.
