The Party is Over

HAPPY NEW YEAR :)

The festive season has come and gone - a time for family, cheer, food, friends, presies, sun, bbq's, reading, cards, nephew's nintendo DSi, chocolate. Hmmm where is running on that list?

Actually I was pretty good and didn't abandon my training altogether. 2 x 8ks around the cliffs, blow holes and beaches of Kiama, one of them with my brother Warren, and brother in law Mike in tow. (or towing me??)

But back in Sydney and on 3 Jan the party is over.

I know I am having some minor surgery on my claw finger on 29th Jan (less than ideal with 10 weeks until race day) so between now and surgery I plan to train 6 days a week. Really push my legs so that the week i need off will be a useful recovery week. That is the plan.

So far so good.
Sunday night - 11.5 ks
Monday lunch - 6ks
Tuesday am - 3k light jog

Proposed
Wednesday am - 10k
Thursday lunch - run 3k / swim 1k / run 3k
Friday am - 6k
Saturday am - Long - >15kms. Am going to be in unknown territory on Tambourine Mountain in QLD so will need to plan my route.
Sunday - REST

Will let you know how I go. Anyone feel like joining me for a run??
