Early start in the park with work and who should i see on McKay Oval - none other then PLOD flying around doing his 400s, my clients were in awe of him and will surely go into City to Surf as raging favorite against us fellow 'B Graders after sitting watching that performance this morning?
Once done i decided on a 12ks recovery run doing 2 x 6k Woollarha hill loops, Again felt good from the off today and worked the first loop at 4.15s (24.58) and even picked the pace up slightly on the 2nd to come home in 24.44 (4.07s) all up for a time of 49.32
Again happy with that and dare i say it i thought it was pretty easy this morning (whats going on?), i may have finally got rid of all the Bintang from Bali out of my system as i continue to stay of the beers in the process. Feel as if i have moved forward over the past two weeks now and hope the next 3 can go in the same direction.
Will be looking at getting another good weeks training in this week as the countdown is now on.
Some great sport overnight, With Wiggins taking out the Tour, sensational effort from him and the Sky team, never looked in doubt, And Cav continues to smash all before him in the sprints.
In the Golf ..... Oh Dear, Mr Scott Choked in the final 4 holes and does his best impression of Greg Norman.... Unbelievable, and you can write this down, he will NEVER win a major after that.
Tiger was close by and the Timmy's Tip - Donald ended up 4th or 5th overall,
Anyway all eyes turn to London now for the Big One - Can't wait to see how things unfold, i see Chairman Tom has all but given us his Gold medal placings in all track and field events, I will do something similar but will do my 'Top 10s' for various things Games related.

*** Title of today's BLOG is related to where we will be having our City to Surf Breaky - i wont say who's house it is just in case you are not on the 'A list' of invites , but lets just hope he leaves a spare key on the doorstep so we can go in and make tea whilst we wait for him to arrive in Bondi , as most of us will be there already waiting :)
Cheers
Number 2 is wrong Timmy. Australia is actually the world champions at the moment and with the WNBA of a short season the USA team are not dead certs.
ReplyDeleteTimmy, when you are you going to give up on the BS and do the honest thing and give me the two minutes you promised me last week for city to surf?
ReplyDeleteFact: I have done little or no training for a month now while you are training like a pro twice a day most days.
Fact: I am averaging 2 runs a week for the last four weeks, you manage that most week-days. I am in the worst shape since I arrived in Australia...
Fact: I have not had more than 6 hours sleep any night for a month now
Fact: You beat me in the last race we did and I haven't run sub 35mins in 4 years for 10km
Come on Tim 2 mins is my final offer (I will be lucky to get 52mins when I expect you to break 50 like your last hit out)
Don't fall for it Timmy. Enda runs like a scalded cat when unfit. Give him 1 min
