Training – 3rd Feb 09

February 3, 2009 in Australia, Canberra, Racewalking, Training, Walking

Been a bit slack with training the last few days with the heat and night shifts, but did do three hours walking all up on two of my nights.  That was also at 2am, so it works out as good 24hr practice for me.

Got onto the treadmill this morning and did 5.556km in 50 minutes which wasnt bad.  It is always interesting the distances on the treadmill as you never start at top speed and when you do get to your normal speed it takes a while for the distance to catch up to normal.  But touched 7.2km speed for a minutes so all is good!

Dropped Laura off for her first day in Grade 10 this morning.  Gee it has gone quickly. Think I spotted Jarred Tallent out training on the way home! Be nice to be as quick as him!

Has anyone noticed how petrol is slowly creeping back again?  Hasnt even become an issue in the papers yet!  Once again the petrol companies have told the Governments to shut up and the consumer is being ripped off!

Me – another year older today. Off work and am going out to a Chinese meal with Belinda and Laura this evening. Will be a good night.

May Autumn arrive soon!
