Thursday: had a well earned rest day and a massage - heaven!!! Calfs, quads and hammies all very tight according to the masseur - what a surprise!!!! any way I have booked a massage for each week leading up to mid march I hope that at least the leg muscles will be relaxed by the time March 30 comes along.
Friday: Speed session with PCRG. 1km + 0.5Km +1km + 0.5Km reps with 45 secs recovery. I must get Trainer Pats watch checked out, his 45 secs goes much faster than mine!!!!!
First speed session since mid November due to tear in calf muscle - felt good, I did not want to go all out but the competitive beast in me wanted to catch up and beat others in the group, so ended up doing somewhere between 95 & 100%. Josh (fellow MdS entrant) was there with a backpack weighing about 5kgs. It looked really hard work, Josh was really trying and was certaining showing signs of that effort - well done mate.
To cap off a great session (honestly I really enjoyed my first speed session in about 9 weeks), I won a running shirt in the summer random draw competitions that Pat has been sponsored for. Looking forward to picking that up next week. May take it to MdS - not sure whether to wear a shirt over the top of long sleeve Skins.

Nice work Keith. Can't wait to get to the 'cold' Canberra Marathon in April! This last week has been unbearable hasnt it. I moved to Sydney at the end of NOvember last year and this last week has been the worst for humidity. It just drains your legs doesnt it?!?!?!?!
