Mrs McCann, take a bow!

Wow. What a morning. I had planned to get up early to go for a run before watching both marathons at the Com Games but instead I rolled out of bed at 9.15am and just managed to make it to the couch (with coffee in hand) in time for the start of the womens race at 9.30. Although the coverage was pretty ordinary, the women’s race was fantastic. For the last 3 kms, I couldn’t sit still – I ended up standing next to the couch, yelling at the TV, trying to will Kerryn across the line. It obviously worked ;-)



What a race it was – the lead changed something like 6 times within the last km. I had tears in my eyes and goosebumps watching her cross the line and her post-race interview. All of our runners (both male and female) did us proud :-)

Anyhoo, I went out for my much delayed run at about 5.15pm this afternoon. Another 15mins walk to warm up followed by another 20min run around the local oval (followed by 30mins of stretching when I got home). It felt physically harder than Thursday mornings run but I think I was pushing it at a slightly faster pace. While I am still feeling v. unfit, I am pretty pleased with my progress; both physcially and mentally. Might be time to think leaving the oval and returning to the road next weekend (she says with fingers crossed…)

The week ahead:
Monday – weights
Tuesday – run
Wednesday – weights
Thursday – run (+ CR drinks!)
Friday – weights
Saturday – rest + visit to Saint Andrew (the chiro who helped 2P with his 6ft campaign)
Sunday – run
plus I want to squeeze in a swim and a walk or two (just not quite sure where yet....)
