Happy Birthday Joel Pearson 24 today.
Last night was my first "successful" 10k for a while, i.e. I finished. The time was OK, the relative splits good - each of the first nine kms was around 4:20, and the tenth around 4:10. And neither hamstring hurt, despite it being my third day in a row of quicker running. I am very very happy to have no niggles. It is great when you don't feel injured! So I will train on, taking it a bit easier for a while, including a few intervals at Stromlo tomorrow morning for the first time.
