Race Day Tomorrow

I thought I would do a quick blog ahead of the track meet tomorrow, yes its the last of the the 2009 meets, and probably my last race foray on to the track this year. I have booked into to do the 500m tomorrow lunch, I am quietly hoping for another pb but after my last 5000m I am not overly confident.

My plan was to do the 5000m, then run home, adding in some extra miles to ensure I get up to the 10 - 11 mile mark by the time I get home, that was the plan until I logged on, I appears that holiday season has hit the squad, so I may do the 1500m and the javelin as well, but we shall see by tomorrow things may change. One thing is for sure though, I will still have to run home.

My training over the past couple of days has been easy, effort wise that is, Thursday, I went running with a colleague, who will readily admit, he hasn’t got a chance of running with me normally, but he agreed to go for a run with me, it ended up being a good slow recovery run for me, whilst for my colleague it was a good fast run. Yesterday, was another easy effort training day, I say easy effort I still did 10 miles, but in a time of 1hr 20mins, the reason for this was not to push myself but to get some miles in while more importantly keeping time on the feet.

Anyway with all that planned effort tomorrow I am off to bed.
