My house key...

Hmmm...Jo will love this post! Mister organised, Mister I always put things back in their place, Mister I'm nearly always right', stuffed up this morning....

Jo and I ran together yesterday, I carried our house key in my shorts, when we got home my shorts went into the wash basket (because I am organised and clean up after myself), then showered, then Jo and I went out for dinner. Once home I say aloud, "I must get my key out of my shorts before I forget"....

Once inside I sit down and watch the ladies WC marathon (well done Lisa Jane W - 18th and a PB), then off to bed and up at 3am to watch the great Bekele win another WC Gold medal (25th) and lots of other stuff and then back into bed at 5.15am.

I decide I'll go to work when I wake (gotta love flexible working hours). Finally out of bed, showered and dressed out the door in my car at 8.45am...'shit, I've forgotten my mobile, I'll just go inside and get my phone....hmmm...fuck where is my key!!! ""red faced blushing""

So a late start and an early finish so I could go via Hawthorn to pick up Jo's key (as she has parent - teacher interviews until late tonight) and then off to Werribee for a run and a session at Wyndham Park with my juniors.

I arrived with time to get 40 minutes in before meeting the kids, off I go, out of the car park over the river bridge and BANG here comes the rain to go with the strong wind...fuck, why do we do it? Anyway a recovery run is on order but after a few k's running in driving rain some speed is required to stay warm. The first 3k were 5:28 / 5:11 / 5:03, then the rain was getting harder and I decided I wanted to run 8k in very much 40 minutes so I sped up, the next 4 were 5:03 / 4:40 / 4:43 / 4:50 and the final km I slowed a tad for 5:19, done and back as the majority are arriving. I was soaked (it rained for 6k worth) and I was very muddy as I do not dodge mud or puddles and I have a flicking action. 8k done!

Off with 8 kids, our last Wyndham Park session, Lexie's last Mon set prior to the Nationals, the plan - warm up, strides and drills at the Werribee Tigers football ground (Chrinside Oval (BarterCard Oval)) then back to our starting point and 2 sets (1 viewing at jogging pace and then 2 fast) of a 800m hilly grass course.

I jogged the first lap and then the first 300m of each fast set and then a 1.2km cool down, so all up 12.8km today.
