Had to get a report to a client so missed the HuRTs guys (12.10 departure), Milan (12.15 departure) and Shauny & the boys (12.30 departure). I decided that since I hadn't done much running this week, and with the Coastal Classic next weekend, I should just do an easyish 10km. So, I plugged in the iPod and went for it. It's weird - with the iPod you don't really realise how hard you're going. I know I looked down a few times and saw 3:35s and 3:40s flashing up at me, so I was moving, but it didn't feel too hard. Ended up doing 10.3km in 40:12 for an average pace (according to the Suunto) of 3:53min/km. Not bad, and I feel pretty good now. Unfortunately my right ankle felt a few twinges of pain during the run when going around corners. I'll wrap it in cotton wool for the next week.
The Coastal Classic info has been updated. The big contentious point is that they may postpone it til September if the forecast is for rain. Fingers crossed that this weekend's forecast doesn't come true, because the wet weather date is the weekend before the Sydney marathon in September, and I really wanted to do both.
