Catch up time !

Its been a while since I had time to sit down and write my blog. I have although been doing lots of running and for some reason hit a bit of a slump until yesterday.
Since my last blog about the easter break dam run I ran the next day to Coominya and back from the dam doing a nice 16k early in the morning keeping to about 5:10 pace all the way.
Returning home I did manage to get in a 13k on monday night then 15k on tuesday night, rest wednesday 15k thrsdaynight rest friday then a terrible run Saturday midday!
This is where it all began.
Yep midday! Normally the rain never stops me going out for a run, I even have my rain shoes(old pair). But When I opened the door and looked out I could not see up or down the street. The rain was bucketing down. So back to sleep I went and boy did I sleep well.
Anyway to cut a long story short at about 12:30 it was overcast cool and looking nice so I thought I would head off for a run. Only packing 2 bottles and 1 Gu.
A really bad move. After about 5k the sun came out and it got real hot real fast.
At 21k I had no water/aid and no Gu.
Thats when I hit a big hill and my legs ok but my body went no way. So being the true warrior I ran the hill hard got to the top and walked for a little while then ran home with a couple of stops to run into peoples yards to get water from their taps.
Sunday was another midday run ? why ? who knows.
But I did a nice 8k in 5:00 pace and that really lifted my spirits.
A total for last week was 84 k.
4 weeks to go and I am over ready !
Whatever that means. Tonight 15-12k, see how I feel.
Take care
