3 days in a row...

Ran to Tan, then 500 on 500 0ff at the Tan this evening, started off with Dan, Paul and Dave and stayed for the first lap, but legs feeling a bit creaky in the quads so eased off. 28:18 for two laps, pretty happy. TOTAL 12kms.
Starting to watch diet more closely after reading stuff on Gordo's website. realise must take time. Had apple 30 minutes before and seemed to work well, no stomach probs at all. Will see how I feel tomorrow in the legs, will endeavour to go easy 9 to Elwood in morning.

Post Long run jog

Went for Black Rock run yesterday morning (Sunday), first one in over six months. Felt easy and very suprised made it there in 1:00:47, is usually around 1:04, minus a minute or so as new pathway just past Brighton. Comfortable up to last 8km or so then legs started to twinge. Still covered last 4.4 from Elwood in 15:33. Sensational. Spent rest of day in front of tv.
Woke up this morning shattered, alarm went off at 7am but stayed in bed till 7:40. Ok at work,
Went for 2 laps of AP this evening, misty rain and cold, first lap 18:31, then 18:15, felt ok despite graunchiness in right knee, right calf also quite tight. Otherwise back on track.
Five months till Auckland marathon, goal time under 2:30, feasible I think.
