Out early to meet Kanser for his long run after he texts me requesting for help as he wanted to knock out 7 x 14 minute efforts in Centennial Park at sub 3.50 pace.
Knew there was no chance of me doing 7 especially after yesterday plus its not me who has to run a Marathon , so with strict instructions i told Kanser i would do a few as long as he kept it at 3.50 pace and no quicker.
Anyway after a lap warm up i settled into the first rep and covered over a full lap in the 14 minutes working at 3.48 pace, Needless to say Kanser was ahead working at 3.46 ? (read his blog for full details), 60 second break and it was into the 2nd - this was the same, as was the 3rd. Decided on a break at that and joined J-Fen on an easier lap, chatted away with him until it dawned on him that the pace had dropped , and he wasn't about to hang around :)
Running by myself starting to feel a little tired and with the showers starting i called it a day - only knocked out 20ks for the morning in truth and not as long as i wanted to do ( had intended on 24) but after a solid hit out yesterday I'll take that.
Average all up today was 4.17s and that included the 60 seconds break, basically doing bugger all.
Kanser was looking strong each time around even working by himself, think J-Fen helped him out on the last as well.
36ks for me over the weekend, all at a decent pace and there were not many junks ks within it so happy with the way its going.
After all that it was back to the 'Aldi House' ...i mean Kansers for breaky, and boy oh boy, what a treat was lined up today - Fresh from his 6th visit to Aldi for the week all the trimmings were laid on today. Must say in all honesty it was by far the best Breaky I've had - with English style Baked Beans, Cumberland Sausages, Bacon and Eggs, E.B.Tea ... i was in heaven. and when the Hobnob biccies came out, well...
He even had the catalogue out for next weeks specials, are times really that bad at Macquarie Bank these days?
Talk turned to J-Fen, and the fact that he still hasn't supplied the great Yankee Breakfast as promised 6 months ago, kind of looking forward to 2ft Hot dogs with Cheese, and the Buffalo Wings :)
This is what you are up against mate:)
Big upset overnight in the footy, with the the Dutch going down to the Danes in an upset, no worries for the Germans mind you. Tonight sees Ireland's first up match..... should be interesting?
Looks like Enda knows as much about footy as he does running with 0 from 4 in his tipping so far and with Ireland tonight it looks likes it will be 0 from 5, long may it continue :)
Back in the pool tomorrow, will see if Mr Walker and company can help me out at lunchtime
Cheers
