It's been a few days since I have posted anything due to just being too busy. I have been chasing my tail all week with car problems . I have been to the mechanic,radiator specialist & auto electrician. Finally the motor mechanic is the one who will try & rectify the problem. Traffic has been a nightmare all week due to the circus on at Moore Park. Kieran was quite well behaved despite being in the car for the hour long trip. Although he did fall asleep on Thursday & understably was a bit irritable when he woke up & took awhile to pacify him.
After all the running around I did not get to run on Wednesday as a big thunderstorm hit just when I was about to go out. Having nearly been struck while out runnning years ago in Orange it is just not worth the risk. So I made Wednesday a rest day & decided to run on Friday my usual rest day.
I ran some 200's 18 in all at the oval near work- Naremburn . It was quite windy & I decided to run the other way which ended being a dumb mood as I started quite slowly.I changed running back the way I usuually run & my times started to be round about what I usually do. Averaged 33.85. After the run I went to the funeral of a former classmate. Despite the fact that had to meet people in such sad circumstances it was really good to catch up with some old classmates most of whom I had not seen for over 25 years.Even we don't keep in contact anymore it is a good feeling to know that we friendships we formed at school meant something to us all.The guy that passed away Mark Noonan had been doing it a bit tough he had not sen his kids for 2 years & had chest pains but did nt heed the warnings.
Had a longer than usual run on Friday to amke up for no running on Wednesday. I ran for nearly an hour in the bushtrails near work & did some weights at lunchtime. I was in the bad books for losing Kieran's toy monkey at the childcare..
Got up at 530am Saturday as Amy was working early at Strathfield. I did 12 hills at Centennial Park. They went ok only one slow rep the 2nd one which would have brought the average down if that one was quicker. Averaged 43 which is normal so that is ok.
Better go before K wakes up & try & watch the end of a video.
