Just the facts tonight, very long day, started work at 7am, run leader duties after work so not home until after 830pm, just want to kick back and relax.

Ran a very quick 6km before leading my group - 28:42, average pace 4:47, a new (unofficial of course) 5Km PB along the way which goes to show that I can often train now at paces I used to race at. *edit* bugger, in my haste and tiredness I messed up there, not quite an unofficial PB but close and done very comfortably.

Rupert and I were leading the 8Km medium pace group today, previously I had only lead the slow groups so it was a nice change. The group was pretty tight and I lead a pack of 5 in to finish in 44:40. They were all happy to get in at quicker than 6 minute per Km pace and I sneakily upped the pace with about 1.5Km to go just to push them a bit. Everyone was pretty cheerful at the end and said they all enjoyed themselves. One participant even assumed that I was a personal trainer and this was what I did for a living :oops:

Total for today - 14Km

Monthly wrap up
February Km - 246.5 (’06 198)

Year to Date - 519

Injuries - None, still free of Plantar Fasciitis

Excuses - None really, had a slow one last week which kept me from having a 300Km week but not fussed

Races - Super Sunset Series 4Km 17:40, new PB and placed 10th female overall

Goals - Maintain 75Km weeks as a minimum, run a more disciplined 4Km race next Wednesday. Find a way to make Craig Mottram realise that I am the love of his life

OK, maybe that last one isn’t totally serious.

  1. Im sure as a Personal Trainer you would make ‘The Commando’ on the Biggest Loser look like a pansy.

  5. You might have a chance with Craig. Didn’t he and Lauren split up? Good solid month Em. Keep edging it along.

  6. And with that ‘personal trainer’ demeanor (and body!) of yours, why wouldn’t he be interested!!

    Good stuff leading the group. Must be rewarding - and add the fact that you are doing something you love at the same time - what could be better?!
