Thats what it's all about !

After a bit of rain on and off yesterday I thought it might be a bit warmer last night. But as usual my weather predicting skills seem to let me down and it was cold windy and cold. Did I mention cold ?.
That is one thing I love about summer, Just get up and go running early. Not get up and go "Oh Sh#t its cold" and snuggle back into bed thinking it will warm up in half an hour.
Anyway a quick 8k last night. I just wanted to get out easy and push hard through the middle then come home easy. That was the plan and I stuck to it. At 3k I was at 5:00min pace so I pushed till 6.5k then just let the legs take me home without pushing.
All up 8.5k in 4:35min pace and I am happy with how my training has gone. I know this is forward planning but after Flinders I will do more sprint training and keep my long runs down to 22k. First make sure I finish Flinders and no DNF, I still don't have one and don't want one.
Then its off to Noosa for the half.
I stayed at backpackers last year and mental note "not a good idea" Happy hour does not go for a hour and sleep is not easy with people in and out of the Dorms at all hours. The people were great and chit chat with the different cultures even better.
But the night before running, hmmmmm.........
A rest is in order for tonight and then an easy 10-15k on Wednesday night.
Take care
