2 week update

Looking at my last post, I think I overdid it with that big week of traning as the week after I was extremely fatigued. I was planning a recovery week and I think my body took adbvantage of the fact. I was really busy at work as well as at home and just didn't get out on the road very much. This week has been a little better with lots of 8k runs, but I am still struggling to find time and energy as things are out of control at work and at home.

My training for the last 6 weeks has been geared up for 3 goals: 1) next week's 10k at northe head 2) the 5k challenge this week and 3) Sydney Half in 3 weeks time.I wanted to get 3 x PB's and then change the focus of my training for the rest of the year. I got the 5k PB this week (by 15 secs) so considering I could hardly get out of bed I was so tired it is a good sign that I can go sub 39 next week and sub 89 in three weeks.
