18 February - A Quick Week

Well this week was a bit of a shock to the system - I was in charge of the fast groups at the training runs!

Now luckily they were only 5km each, but Monday was about 32 degrees and it was very tough. Wednesday I was rostered on for the slow group so that was some relief. It was back to the fast group again on the Saturday, however it had cooled a fair bit and was a bit easier.

It showed me that I still have some work to do to get my pace back from about 12 months ago, however I did manage to keep at just under 5min km's.

The training groups have been really enjoyable, I take a lot of pleasure from helping people reach their running goals. Even just being able to offer some advice and encouragement is great. I've met some great people and had some fantastic discussions through the runs.

I haven't had any other runs over the week - a buck's day/night on Saturday and stinking hot weather put paid to any runs on the Sunday. I'm hoping to lift the runs to 4 per week very shortly.
