Today Total: 10k
Week Total: 42k
Month Total: 42k
Year Total: 1009k
To celebrate my 1000th kilometer for the year I decided today would be a return to the 80's - so after donning my stubbies, KT-26's, matching head and wrist bands, and my Life Be In It T-shirt I set the HRM alert function to "Off" and headed out the door humming the cheezy Bee Gee's number Jive Talkin and a vague notion that I would run with my heartrate somewhere in the 80 - 90% zone.
I also had another thought that I would like to run somewhere around my previous half marathon PB pace to see what that felt like these days - obviously I was hoping the two notions were compatable.
The first warm up k clicked through in 5.33 and I gently accelerated up to cruising speed. The next 9 k's flowed like water down a mountain stream - seemingly effortless and with a bubbling enthusiasm (where IS that Mills and Boon contract?) with splits ranging between 5.04 & 5.10.
Final wrap up was 10k in 51.56 (inclusive of the warm up k) @ av 5.12 pace which is bang on for my previous half PB pace. Average heartrate was 161bpm (86%)

PS sorry for planting that song in your head but it is stuck in mine and I like to share :-)

Wow 1000ks. What a great sight you must have been this morning. Do you think you could drag this outfit out for the SMH?
I love retro and the 80's is my fave! However I am currently experimenting with a 70's look :)
Well done on the kilo!
hehe - congrats! the life be in it shirt is causing me flashbacks - but i can't for the life of me place that beegees song. probably for the best... :)
I always knew you were one cool dude!
You are a lunatic 2p. What a sight you would have been. That's a good run and things are looking good for SMH Half. See how I feel after Banana Coast but I hope I can run with you at SMH. But only if you wear the same gear as today. ;-)
GReat stuff 1000kms and a great 10km pace! I can only dream..
Don't know that song (thank god!)

Great post 2P - I am visualizing that run in my mind - with 2P singing the BEEGEES tunes.....
Now I have to get that dang song out of my head....
Now its in my head. Congrats on the 1000ks, Can you take a photo of Norm and post him on the blog?
Woohoo! Congrats on the 1000k. I'm a bit disappointed there is no pic though.
