Leading up to my first "race"

So what's my training been like since 5th of September (or my last post)? Pretty average actually.

Tuesday 6/9
This was meant to be a morning 10K run, to see how my body handled a morning run (all my long runs have been at night). It didn't go so well and really should have been a sign of things to come. I did better than the last time I did this route, but only because I kept telling myself I had run to X point last time and I had been running more, but I only made it 1K further.

Pace: 7'57''
Distance: 7K
Time: 55'41''

Thursday 8/9
A short run, back in the evening, but still slower than normal (who would have thought!)

Pace:7'53''
Distance: 4.02K
Time: 31'54''

Sunday 11/9
Another kick-ass personal training session

Tuesday 12/9
A short run along Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra, a nice cool breeze to push me along

Pace: 7'42''
Distance: 4K
Time: 30'54''

Sunday 18/9 Race day
It was a warm morning, I thought I was well prepared, but the mental block and going to fast out at the start got to me. See my race report here

Pace:9'07''
Distance: 9K
Time: 1:22:07
