The plan with taking some time off did not work out at all. I had to front up and do odd little bits here and there breaking up my week. I then wanted to take tomorrow off as well, but hey, something else came up.
I really need to go out of the country to get away from it all...
On the bright side, I did the 10k Run for Gold and Anna came along and did her first race, the 5k. She got through in just over 35 mins which is excellent.
I managed 45 mins and I am quite happy with it, especially since I had not trained for it at all and looked at it as a tempo run more than anything else.
Had a slow start and latched on to this old guy in the green T-shirt. By the Claisebrook bridge he folded and I went off on my own, keeping a steady pace.
I managed to get a copy of SERIOUS training for the endurance athlete earlier in the week and have been putting a more scientific touch on my training plan.
The swimming has already improved and helped my core stability. Right now it's all coming together nicely.
Good, good, as Simon would say.

Homo,
Well done to bounce back after the first Marathon! After my first last year I stopped for two months then had to start all over again - you should get alot of momentum out of the first for the second.
If you have any questions re science of training, I'd talk to TS&TF - he knows every coach and top runner's philosophies and the theory behind it - as I'm sure you know from his CR posts.
Good luck in the leadup to Rotto, might see you out there at City to Surf (amongst the 30,000!)
