Same as Last Week...

Again, the Bulldogs were on TV on Sunday afternoon, smashing the Manly Sea Eagles and proving they're back in contention for the finals series.

But I still went for the long run, this time completing the same 11.7km route in 65 minutes, but managing to get back to watch the second half of the game.

I felt really good on the run again. The first 5+km circuit must be what I need to warm-up, because I (felt like I) was flying along between 8 and 11km. There are a couple of long hills which don't seem to take too much out of me now. I'm using the 'magnet pulling me up the hill' and 'falling forwards towards a point 20m ahead' techniques to get me through it.

I can't say my pace is too high on these hills nor is it for the first 5km or so, but I'm beating the mental demons by proving that I can go the distance (only another 2.3km to go to complete the City to Surf circuit) and I'm finishing with something left in the tank.

So it's all good...
