Ewen's outstanding performance
Last night at the Stromlo 5k, Ewen exceeded all (his) expectations by breaking the 21 minute barrier. A 20.54 for the 5k, with a small negative split, had him saying "I cannot believe it" several times after the run. Well done Ewen! I am sure he will post something soon on his blog. Despite all the rain, the surface was firm and fast. This is a great venue!

67km per week
I said yesterday I should try to end up with a 2007 average number of kilometres per week higher than my weight in kilograms. I am currently weighing in at an exceedingly high 67 kg, so how many more km do I need this year to exceed 67 per week average? The total would have to be 3494km or more. And I have already run 3615km up to Tuesday, so I could stop now!? Except, no more upward arrows allowed (frown).

2007 v 2006
My other target is to exceed 2006’s total of 3803k which gives me only 26 days to run 189km. I should just scrape it in by Christmas!
