Just the running

Speed session tonight, 6 by 400 mtre with 100 mtre floating recovery, so the momentum was moving forward the whole time. As I do most Tuesdays I spent the day psyching myself up for the session, though I am pleased to say I am feeling more comfortable with the quicker pace now and despite still finding them a little bit daunting I enjoy the challenge immensly. My worries were eased somewhat this evening when I discovered this was a tempo session, phew, because all day I was wondering how I could go all out for 6 reps with only a floating recovery! As per usual I did not take any splits, I am still concentrating on pace and stride and just doing it right, I promise I'll start taking splits from next session.

I wore my capri skins tonight and appreciated the extra support on the quads and hammys that they offer, in fact I am sitting here feeling reasonably fresh. Also very pleased to report no twinges from the achilles, seems the icing and extra day's rest has done the trick. Only 26 days until the next half marathon now, yikes, I am starting to have the odd nervous bout now, memories of how I felt before the Gold Coast are rushing back :-) still, it's all part of the fun isn't it!

Here is a piccie of my new skins, this was taken with my mobile in the change rooms at work so the quality is a bit crap, I am attempting a wave at the camera :-)
