I love easter, it is my fave time of the year, a guaranteed four days off work, bliss 
So far I have spent my days sleeping late, working in the garden, having a nap and then going for an afternoon run, something I could quite happily do all the time if I had the means.
Today I transplanted a camellia from a hidden corner of the garden and gave it pride of place in a great big pot. It seems to have naturally formed a standard habit and has a rather unusual trunk that has twisted on itself. It came out of the ground reasonably well and despite serious neglect was pretty healthy, now it has been given a generous dose of seasol I am crossing my fingers that it survives the move.
I also planted up a heap of pansies and violas in pots and have arranged them on my deck and on the steps, a little bit of colourful cheer to lift my mood on winter days and finally a couple of lavenders in big blue pots, phew.
After that it was nap time, ahh the joy of a little early afternoon kip
This afternoon I decided it was time to test the legs for a little bit of speed so I settled on a warm up, 5 by 500 mtre and a cool down, all up 7km, the results of the reps are as follows, the recovery was 90 seconds –
2:12 @ 4:23
2:07 @ 4:13
2:01 @ 4:02
2:03 @ 4:05
2:03 @ 4:05
A bit shaky at the start but I settled in for the last three, felt harder than it normally would so I was pleasantly surprised at the pace.
Tomorrow it’s back to the trails for some easy running around Lysterfield, not sure how far, 12 to 15km I suppose.
I think I would really like some chocolate now, is is just me or does it taste better when shaped like an egg and covered in colourful foil.
