Today I resume targeting 100km weeks, this for four weeks. On the right you will see a countdown to Easter Sunday the day of the AMA 5k. There are less than six weeks left so I won't have much training time between now and then. Plan A is to simply jog more and race as best I can during the six weeks. If I get the chance to practise running faster than my established 4 minutes per km I will do so.
My plans are to go through a stretch routine every day, and to total 100k of running this week.
Monday 2 March 4:30pm jog; Parliament House training is on.
Tuesday 3 jog.
Wednesday 4 race at ACTMA track, the 5k if I can.
Thursday 5 jog.
Friday 6 jog.
Saturday 7 jog.
Sunday 8 run the Weston Creek Half Marathon at a steady pace.
The Stromlo Running Festival was fantastic. Let's all get involved next year, it will become much, much bigger as the word spreads.
I watched Yelena run her first 6k jogalong, also at Stromlo as part of the running festival. It's a great venue which if used regularly for the Jogalong the women would get to like. I will publish results in a few weeks time when they appear on the CCC website.
On a related topic, we are finding that if we change something, 30% will grumble. Yet change is the dynamic which brings health and life. We are finding that if we admit mistakes, we will be called "inconsistent" or worse, "unreliable". Yet fear of mistakes stands in the way of progress, creativity, innovation. I say, have a go, and learn as you go. That's how "life" works.
Let's stretch ourselves every day by trying new things. Like supporting and attending innovations like the running festival. Like supporting our change to "Masters" and using the opportunity to invite new people to become involved. Like getting a group together to come over to the AMA Nationals in Adelaide so we can support and encourage each other there.
Also, invite me to join your running group or event. Don't think that I just have my plan that I must follow each week without fail. I like doing new things.
