Isn't it just great, this smell of summer rain on the warm ground?
Just too sweet to get up and do a heavy interval session. Ok, I'm a wuss and reading Clown's blog I can say at least I'm not alone.
I had planned to have an easy week and it turned out to be even easier than anticipated. I needed a bit of a break both mentally and physically, so only a level 2 run with 2x Reabold Hill on Monday and a MP run of 22.54k yesterday morning, a total, wait for it: 35.55k. Now that's slack.
Having said that, I felt sluggish after the last three weeks but by yesterday I was very happy with the MP run yesterday at just over 5m/k. Nowhere near the young guns, but for now clearly a good point to be.
Although I did not run much, I did three sessions in the gym concentrating on core strength and just a bit of stability exercises for the knees.
I now have to work out next week's program which is going to be tough especially since I'm going to be in Court all week and have my head full of jet engines, boat hull designs, fishtails, spins and emergency stops. And plenty of cavitation - in my head as well.
Taking a positive angle to it a bit of running won't go astray it seems.
Not sure whether I'll do Matilda Bay - just does not fit my program - unless the case finishes before Friday and I can do the long run on Friday and then... I think I'm getting ahead of myself.
First, I'll have a good night's sleep.

Ok, I admit I had to look up the title on Wikipedia - but I love that smell too - even more so when running in it!
