In between classes this morning i had a window that enabled me to fit a session in so decided to head over to McKay Oval in the Park for some 800s for the day.
Decided from the start i wasn't looking to smash them but just work more at a controlled pace and keeping them all under 3.30 per/ks if i could. Again the first couple of reps felt tough enough until I'd warmed up a little but despite working harder then it should be for that pace i was happy enough to maintain every rep to within a second of each other for the entire session.
Need to keep up the training although will be taking it a little easier this week with the S.M.H Half Marathon coming up on Sunday as we will also be defending our title against the Irish for the Churchill /Sands Cup. Looks like the Irish are a team in disarray mind with PLOD resigning from his post after the hammering last year, New Captain Enda has fled the sinking ship and flown to China, Kanser is on the injury list, so it looks like tough man Macca McClaron will have to carry the load with help from Robbie Neil and the Leech along the way.
I know we are known for our sporting generosity, but despite helping them out with the handicaps it looks like they shall be shouting us a night on the town with the drinks again at a time to be arranged?
i think this may be the LAST challenge issued to the Irish lads as they are simply not up to it and will set about opening the door to the Aussie crew within the team for a more of a challenge with the likes of Bartles, Tucks, Stevie Wildman, Razor Wareham, Richie High & Palmer, Mikey, MrAce, and Laura all more then worthy of a good battle?
I will go through some of the HuRTS team and there predicted times later in the week alongside the latest odds from Paddy Power for the big event.
Mentioned yesterday that June/July is shaping up to be a biggie and in line with the Lions Tour i see the band 'Manic Street Prechers' are coming - playing at the Hordern the night before the 3rd test. Great band out of Wales, .....Jeez, what is it with the Taffs at the moment, first Swansea win the Carling Cup, then Cardiff get promoted to the premiership, Wales win the 6 Nations, whatever next?
'The Manics' are a little alternative and slightly left wing with some of there views and dare i say it pretty intellectual with there lyrics and i wonder if Richie Edwards will appear on stage with them at anytime whilst out here.
One of there most popular hits was this one - "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next" - Brilliant.
Love the words,
The Future teachers you to be alone
The Present to be afraid and cold
So if i can shoot rabbits
then i can shoot fascists
