Running
A rest day today, after a bit of a tough one yesterday I opted to rest so I could be at my best tomorrow for speedwork.
Here is the rough plan for the week -
Mon - Rest
Tue - Speedwork which will be 2 by 250 metre and 2 by 500 metre on The Tan, I will aim for 4 minute per Km pace. I have taken the session set for my group and cut it in half.
Wed - Run leading so easy 35 minutes
Thurs - 45 minutes including 35 minutes at 5 minute per Km pace
Fri - 50 minutes easy
Sat - Rest
Sun - Ride/Run/Ride, the run will be 70 minutes
Vale
After 4 years of loyal service my beloved toaster toasted its last on Sunday morning 
It was only a $25 cheapie that was bought to replace a $10 cheapie that I had owned since I left home at 19, but for 4 years it worked its little elements out keeping up with my insatiable demand for toasted carbs.
In today’s disposal society it has been relegated to the pile for the next hard rubbish collection and the search for a new one begins in earnest.
Last week my manager sent me a $50 Myer voucher, my work gives out the occasional Spot Prize for a job well done. So I have decided to treat myself to a souped up wizz bang will even take your rubbish our for you model and have decided on one of these
I usually buy unsliced sour dough bread so I wanted one with the extra long slots and of course the all important crumpet/bagel setting so you only toast one side.
A runner can’t be long without her toaster, where will I be without toast and honey before a long run or race?
Glycogen depleted, that’s where
I love toast 
I love Crumpets and Bagels and Fruit Bread and Waffles.
Mmmmmmm
That is one cool toaster- and now I am hungry for toast!

I’m a strange one with my toast, for some reason I only use the griller, I like my toast crunchy and dry (if that makes sense), as I said…..strange!

Ooh that looks like a real snazzy toaster Em.
I’m still looking for a toaster that matches my kettle. When I turn the kettle on it lights up blue around the base
I love my bread too, and could eat thick sliced raisin toast all day, every day!

Yum for all of the above (but esp fruit toast).

Wow, what a cool toaster. Does it come with its own spaceship?
Loved your comment on my blog today. It certainly gave me a good laugh.

Don’t know if you have ever come across my blog entries that mention me bringing my toaster whenever I travel. I cart it along every time I go on tour with my choir. Everyone laughed when they heard, including my room mate…until she got to have toast every morning in her jammies without having to leave the hotel room. I also pack in my luggage for any out of town races…I HAVE to have my toast with almond or cashew butter and honey…and COFFEE (I bring my own coffee and just use the in-room machine…it’s not espresso but I survive)! So, Happy New Toaster Day!!…May you two bond and be happy together for a long time!

Sensible schedule there. I’m still waiting for my 15-year-old $12.95 K-mart “made in China” toaster to cark it.
