Saturday 10k Tempo Run

Busy morning at work that saw me finishing at Centennial Park, There was supposed to be a BRAT 10k race on so i thought i would check it out and see if i could run it as a tempo run. Unfortunately there were no takers with only Brendan Crone showing up. He wanted a hit out so i agreed to run with him for the same 10k distance. The course is 2 x 5k loops in and around the park, Sat with him for the first lap and came through in 19.04 (3.51 pace) before picking it up slightly and pressing ahead on the 2nd loop. It never felt that comfortable to be honest  although it was controlled and completed the 2nd half in 18.52 (3.48 pace)
37.57 all up at an average pace of 3.50 for the morning, Happy enough with that in the fact i can actually get through 10ks at the moment.
Spent the morning yesterday at the doctors doing a series of tests, hopefully get the results back next Tuesday to find out if there are any issues ?  I do have to go to the hospital at RPA next Tuesday for scans etc.. on the kidneys to see if anything shows up there as well.

No sign of anyone in the park this morning, i think everyone is pretty much done for the year now and its hard to find the enthusiasm when there are no races coming up. I was speaking to Master Sweeney who can not understand why us HuRTS guys don't do more of the track in Summer to keep our speed up. He also gave me a few of his words of wisdom to try to aim to knock some of my training partners PBs off in the next few months ..........no clues to who he suggested:)

I find it interesting also after i wrote on Thursday that Kanser was running well, You can always tell when he is on fire as his BLOG is up and written even before he returns to Shelley Street and at his desk at work, although when he's struggling you wait a fortnight for any news :)
No sign of anything from Enda either, i do worry and hope he is OK over in Thailand as those new found friends he has can be a little demanding at times, although his latest squeeze did say he would look after him after i left,
Check him out, i think he's harmless :)
Have a great weekend

Cheers
