McKay 6 x 1k Reps

Woke to a Wet and miserably morning and with the early news coming through from Boston there were a thousand reasons in my head as NOT to train but i battled my inner demons and  decided to stay in the park after my first class where i knocked out 8k easy and did the old staple 6 x 1k Reps on McKay Oval.
Knew i had no pace so wasn't expecting anything to write home about and when i went through the first one in 3.36 i feared that i may not even get the remaining 5 done. Tried to break each rep down and not think to much about them as i just worked each one trying to focus on a little form.
Glad to get the 6 done in times of 3.36, 3.33, 3.30, 3.32, 3.32, 3.27
15ks for the morning done in total.
Worked out on these times that i am perhaps in about 38.20 pace for a 10k so a long way to go, but hopefully on the way back.

Shocking news coming out of Boston where the Marathon was on, and our thoughts go out to all over there in tough times. Our own HuRTS boy and 'Most Improved in  2012 Jeet is over there and pleased to report that he is fine and was tucked up in his hotel when the blast went off.
I know it is a very serious incident and one shouldn't make light of it BUT i am so thankful it didn't happen whilst later in the year at Berlin  as i heard the bomb went off around the 4 hour mark and if the same thing was to happen in Germany then i would hate to think what may have happened to Enda as its about the time he may be finishing  :)

Also more shocking news from England on the back of the Millwall Hooligans on Saturday, this time it appears Tommy H's relatives (hope its not brother Jimmy James) are causing a bit of bother on the streets of Newcastle after they got a good shoeing from arch rivals Sunderland in the footy.
Absolute nutters all of them - just lock the tools up and throw away the key i say.
Just heard the club has come out with a new badge/emblem for there shirts for next season. Take a look :)

The Badge of honour that has stood the test of time since 1892.


Scenes on the streets following the game after getting a beating by Sunderland ( is that Jimmy Highnam in the Black & White?)


And how the club has responded with the NEW badge for season 2013/14


Also results are out from Sunday's BRAT tri - Check out the Leech put a minute into me over 5ks, surely 4 minutes in the half is a must now for me? :)

  1. Sorry young Timmy but haven't been back to see the Toon in a good few years. I'm innocent on this occaision. Your 1k reps looked pretty similar to mine last week. I managed to pull off a 37:58 10k yesterday though so that means you owe me $50 at the moment...
    I'll be running another next weekend now that the sun has returned to France. You'd better recvoer quickly as you only have until end May to do better.
