Born Again Runner

Today Total: 10k
Week Total: 10k
Month Total: 165k
Year Total: 692k

YEEEEHAA! That IS a light at the end of the tunnel and for once its not a train.

At the risk of offending the running gods *touches wood, rubs lucky rabbits foot & crosses fingers* apart from normal muscle tiredness from training last night I ran pain free from start to finish today :-)

An early start at work today and a late night last night meant that to run this morning would have meant getting up before I went to bed - so pm it had to be.

Headed off on a flat out and back along the foreshore of Canada Bay occasionally putting in a bit of a surge just to keep the pins on notice that speed will be the focus for the next few weeks.

All up 10k in 53.51 (av 5.23).

*goes off to rub Bhudda's belly, throw salt over shoulder and pray to all known dieties both major and minor*

PS To Tesso, Wobblyman, Clairie, Gnome and CJ - as you head towards Canberra may the same healing good fortune be bestowed upon thee in bountiful quantities.

** stands and applauds **

Yeah 2P!!! I am tipping I will be chasing you for next months 5km :-)

Clairie said...

That's great news!!!

but sssshhhhhhh don't tell Tesso. She will be out rubbing everything and throwing salt all over the place.
Hopefully more good news will come from her and other injured CRS in the days to come.

You have enlightened my day with this news :) see you in Canberra.

Woohoo!! Fantastic news 2P. Good to see that TPC and ESS have run away from both us :-)

Pretty weird when there are no niggles to report.
Good not to let the pins forget the right pace.

Tesso said...

Excellent 2P!!!! If you can do it I'm sure the rest of us can.

Though to be sure I'm avoiding black cats, won't step on cracks in the pavement or walk under any ladders, won't break any more mirrors, won't kill any sparrows, etc etc ....

It comes as a bit of a shock when you finish a run and realise that nothing hurts! We truly are an insane lot, aren't we :-)

Thanks for the good wishes. I have a feeling that we all need them...
