Woke at 6:13 for the 6:15 arrival of Shannon for our Wednesday run. Was suppose to have done 30 mins before hand but various kiddy interuptions during the night meant the alarm got shut down. Lovely run catching up on the last 3 weeks of news. Quads still a bit ouchy on the down hills.

The worlds slowest run with two kids (in pram) and two dogs and quads which where shattered from sunday's half marathon. Just ran down to Dickson and back. Included some races with Makhaya across Dickson ovals. Tragically I didn't even have to pretend to let him beat me. Oh no.

Much needed rest day. Reflected on how much the half marathon sucked and how much I ma not looking forward to doing double that in 6 weeks.

A beautiful course but a horrible run. Went out a bit too hard, aiming for 5:15 pace, did that for 8km then slowly died. Felt awful from the start, hip pulled up really tight about 7km but basically was just too tired and slow. Did the kms in 5'20 5'02 5'10 5'18 5'22 5'15 5'26 5'46 5'42 5'40 5'36 5'35 5'36 5'36 5'58 5'46 6'10 6'16 6'05 6'18 5'51 ('28). Made the decision that in the marathon will definately aim for 6'00 pace and nothing under or I will never last.
