RE: May I Have This Dance?
Wow, how's this for a feel-good kind of run? Woke up sneezy and wheezy, but eventually climbed onto the treadmill for a modest 10km. Actually the first kilometre was pretty dire, but after that I began to feel OK and gradually cranked it bit by bit. I got to 5km in 28:33 and then began to really get into it, turning up the juice every half km or so until by the end I was really flying (last 500m @ 4:26/km pace!) I actually covered the last 4 km in way better than 10km PB pace and the second 5km was actually - somewhat unbelievably - a 5km PB for me (one set 8 years ago, at that!)

And talk about negative splits: 28:33 + 24:05! Smile

I then had to tear off to a doctor's appointment where he gave me the good news that all was well with the MLCM bod and I needn't trouble him for another year or so.

Just one more gentle plod this week before the race on Sunday. Am now really looking forward to it. All the race predictors seem to suggest on my current form that a PB is possible. We'll see soon enough. It's not the fastest course out there, but given good conditions I should give it a fair crack.

10km 52:38, fast.

YTD: 657.5km

Run. Just run.
