Feeling Good

When you are fit, you don't feel fit.
It's funny how when you train for an event or a goal you never really feel super fit or tuned and race ready. But other people seem to notice it more and comment on it. It could be a smile on my face the next day after a long run the night before or just a bit more bubbly first thing in the morning. My mood has had a swing in the right direction the last few weeks as the race gets closer. My 3 goals for this race are No. 1 sub 5:30
No.2 sub 6:00
No.3 Finish (NO DNF)
I will be down the coast a week before the race and plan on taking a drive to the half way point and run the hill over and back (nice and easy of coarse) because last year it was a bit of a blur.

Last night an easy 15.5k at 5:15 pace. My legs were still a bit sore from the long run but warmed up by 3k. The only highlights were the 3 beeps (yes I had my pants on and there were no complaints from locals about a fat hairy balding bloke out running) and 2 yes 2 comments yelled out from cars. Most of the comments I don't really get to here in full and it always reminds me of that AD they used to have on TV with the young bloke in the servo who only heard bits of a song from a car driving past. The only full comment I have heard was a few months ago when a couple of young blokes actually slowed down to deliver the "Piss in the gutter and swim, it's quicker". All I could do was smile and think hmmm..... a swim would be nice.
Take care
