After having a relatively easy hitout the day before I wanted to make sure that tonights run counted. A lot of focus now turns to running at (desired)marathon pace. Attached is the gmap route and this run will officially be known as the Amore run as it takes in Sydneys most famous Italian strip, Norton St. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=363034
The run is 15kms on the knocker & I wanted to run this in 4.10 - 4.15s average, which I managed to do, just over the 1 hour for a run that has it all, a few rolling hills and the flat stretch of the bay.
It was hard work - the wife thought I was going to have a spit when I walked through the door at the end. I am not so confident that thsi pace will be manageable for 42kms. Still got a couple of weeks to work out how fast the old rig can go.
About Me
- silverfox
- I love my family to bits, they mean absolutely everything to me. I am also a total nut for my running, it gives me an incredible amount of joy and rewards in some form everyday. Whether that is in the form of a bouquet or kick up the rump, it never fails to remind how lucky I am to have embraced it.I believe in honesty, humility,hard work and compassion.I despise injustice and believe that good things come to good people.I was brought up on a staple of team sports and firmly believe the values learnt from that environment have served me well in life. However one of the reasons I got into running was to do something for myself.No excuses apart from the limitations you place on yourself.I am competitive but not consumed by it.I run for me.I have never been driven to compete just to beat someone else-ever.I am fortunate to have made many friends through running.I hope some of those were borne of shared commeraderie and good spirit whilst competing. Finally running reminds me daily that you get from life what you put in.
