so a 10km showdown at Gold coast eh?
...lol
over the track season, ewen and i have jousted over the 800/1500 and now it appears we are running the 10km at gold coast. so it must be a 10km showdon then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol- this is definitely more in keeping with ewewns forte than mine, i must admit, but hey any race within a race makes me happy
so ewen, what time will i need to beat then? hehe, cant help it , im a competitive little lassie.
now Andrew, i buy my running shoes and accessories at www.wiggle.co.uk ... super cheap and very good(just make sure you remember it is UK sizing. spend over 85 nd shipping is free.woohoo(i havent ever paid for shipping)
my compression socks were about $20 per pair AWESOME
i have 1 pair of fluoro white asics(stu calls them skin coloured.. and i bought some black ones that are BRAND "craft' they seem pretty good too. so yes three pairs.
i forgot mine today, and ALSO stu had taken the key so i was unable to get my back brace d'oh. lucky it was just a run without any tempo.
anyway 9km run today approx 5.37min/kms -couple hills which tested the achilles. it just shows though that even the FAST people run slowly at times. bel who runs 38mins for 10kms, was more than happy to sit at 5.30-5.40 pace(she did go off for a bit of tempo, but a LOT of her long runs are at that pace too)
it was great. i felt like id been running 5mins and looked down and we had done 3kms already.woohoo
went to a coaching workshop today with richard huggins(coach of a number of very good athletes) and learnt some very interesting things. .saw a friend who i race aginst(sigh, she's so much skinnier than me-i really do need to diet(im sure i would run faster!!!!!!!!!!!!) YES,i do okay for a fatty boombah, but obviously i could do better
oh i have at least started doing planks. 3 times this week.
3x30s plank first time
2 days later 3x45s
2 days later 3x45s
sore abs after the first time and lots of shaking..hehe
anyway 60-70mins tomorrow.woohoo. and yes the achilles was a little tender today. no hils tomorrow(well as few hills as you can get in hte you yangs anyway

No, it's "The 10k Smackdown in the Sun", and you're hitting the canvas!
How fast? I'd like a course PB (45:07), but I'm racing like s#!te at the mo, so near last year's 45:44 would be fine if I can get my act together in the next few weeks.
lol.stu said that a course pb might not be enough ;) LOL, i would suggest that it probs will be... my goal is sub 45 though....im at least gonna start out hving a crack at my pb..which means i could die a very ugly running death and run a terrible time
10k smackdown it is!
Smackdown in the Sun, LOL, bummer I am not going up this year.
You are sooo not fat and you have those fab stong legs that I am so jealous of!
