A new 5km PB 19:53.
Good running was hoping for a 20:20 and surprised myself and others>Guys around me were breathing heavily and i wasn't just listening to them wondering when it would be my turn.Wasn't 'til the hill with 800m to go.Even the hill wasn't that bad i just shortened my stride and i was fine.
Pleased with this one on a hard course.
Splits 9:40 and 10:13
If i knew i was going that well i might have run a bit harder...
I may have even ran with Glen who was always within sight and finished in 19:29...
Anyway whwn time gets by it;'s harder to do race reports.
I have been a bit sore in the feet and legs of late and work/parties/family have forced me to have 2 days off training.This has been good for the feet (i think affected by new Kayanos)
Km this week will be only 30 ish but have been averaging around 55km per week and i will still do my long run in the morning (monday) now that i have a few days off work.I am planning to run the course of the race i missed this morning it was advertised at 22km and should be nice, hopefully i can run it fairly fast (race pace?) but this is always hard when your on your own especially for a 2hr race!
I am listening to Pink's "Who Knew" and Eminem's "You don't Know" hope i can put them on my MP3 player for the run.
I am not going to run tonight although i planned to after work but i have mucked around on the computer downloading and surfing so i will just go to bed.
Have had sore back lately to definately running related but i don't know what to do about it (did some stretches on my legs that helped today,Quads are a bit achey at times but they shouldn't affect my back?
Anyway its hard to listen to music and concentrate so i am going to bed!
Ciao R2B
About Me
- R2B
- People can't understand why a man runs. They don't see any sport in it. Argue it lacks the sight and thrill of body contact. Yet, the conflict is there, more raw and challenging than any man versus man competition. For in running it is man against himself, the cruelest of opponents. The other runners are not the real enemies. His adversary lies within him, in his ability, with brain and heart to master himself and his emotions.

Woooska ! Slick mate ! Congrats !
Fantastic R2B! Sub-20 is a breakthrough. I'll be back later for the details :)
Excellent work mate. Must have been all the recent long runs given you the confidence to race the short stuff harder. Congratulations.
Great time and congrats on the PB.
Woohooo sub 20 - congratulations R2B
Nice one mate, great time look forward to hearing about it in a little more detail ;-)
Excellent, and sub 20 minutes, nice one
Excellent work, the 20 minutes is a tough wall to break! Congrats.
Sub 20 min! Congratulations R2B :-)
For the sore back: sit-ups. The back muscles of the lower back and the abdominal ones work in a tandem. If you strenghten the abs, you take pressure of your back. I have less back problems since I started running, sinch I do sit-ups after every run. Hence by back muscles got a break.
(I knew this long before I started running.)
Nice 5K PB R2B.
More PBs to come in other times I suspect. As for the back it could be related to your overall stiffness. Keep up the stretching. I know its hot but a hot bath instead of a shower might help too.
Great work on the sub-20 5k, which are not easy to come by. I think it is more impressive considering the work/life balance things you also have to deal with at present.
Awesome job on a 5k PR! Congrats!
Well done on the PB. Sub 20 minutes for 5km is awesome.
Sub 20, nice one. Great effort.
Congratulations...that's quick!
I know what you mean about doing the report after a time...it's not easy. Hope your back is on the mend.
R2B, I hope you have a very happy christmas Day & good running for 2007!
Hey, how did I miss this blog entry??? I'll have to blame the 'excesses of the season' :-)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
Here's to a very exciting 2007 :-)
