2007 Review, Bring on 2008

Firstly, got to the 3000 mark (3004)which was dramatic improvement on previous years.

Week Summary, 5 runs 90k 7h25m Avg Pace 4m56s

Wed 17k500m 1h26m
Thu 16k 1h19m
Fri 22k500m 1h51m42s
Sat 8k 40m40s
Sun 26k 2h8m

Intentionally slowed it down a bit this week and found mid week tough due to the hot weather. Bit disappointed that I didn't do tempo run on Xmas due to lack of time but made up the k's by increasing length of runs during the week.

Unfortunately hurt right foot on Sat recovery run but managed to run through it on Sun with Epi(enjoyable run ) after popping a couple of Nurofen, sore now when walking but hopefully will be ok for this weeks running.

Year in Review 2007

Really happy with 2007 where I took my running to a new level with increased k's and a lot less injuries. Did p'b's in the following

4k 14:58 Feb
5k 19:27 Jan
10k 39:39 Apr
1/2m 1:30:49 Jun
Mara 3:21:12 Sep



Really looking forward to 2008 year where main concentration for first half is to qualify for Boston sub 3:15:59 and will be aiming for this in Canberra in Apr. Hopefully Sling and Epi can also do similar timing in Gold Coast and Canberra respectively which will then all qualify us for Boston 2009. As a result of marathon training, there will be less focus on the shorter races in the first half although I may do the odd 10k race here and there.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and all the very best for running for 2008

Mate...90k in 5 runs is impressive. Seems the increased mileage has enhanced your ability to handle the recovery between workouts.

cheers
