Big fat blah

Running
I had a tempo session planned for today, 1Km warm up and cool down and 8Km in the middle to test my hoped for half marathon race pace of 4:50 to 5:00. The less said about it the better really, just not one of those good runs. I just could not find my rhythm and my shoes, which have 530Kms on them now seem to have just gone flat all of a sudden. All the bounce has gone and I scored a couple of big flat blisters. Not too impressed really, I was told they were a high mileage trainer and I would expect more than 500Kms out of them. Maybe it was just a crap day, they felt fine over 16km yesterday. Anyway, finished up with 10.3Km in 52:59, an average pace of 5:07 with only 4Km at target pace, pretty shitty considering I did a 10Km tempo session 2 weeks ago in 49:18.

Whatever, it's done now and it was better than not running, it's just knocked my confidence somewhat.

Confession
Just watched a show in Biography Channel, Meatloaf: Bat out of Hell. Although it is before my time I totally love that album, Meatloaf has an amazing voice. My brother and I used to put Dad's Bat out of Hell album on when we were kids and jump around the living room, we new all the lyrics! And of course I do remember his turn as Eddie in the Rocky Horror Picture Show and I thought he was great in Fight Club as well. He was on JJJ the other morning and was a pretty good sport.
