First, NSW stuffed QLD in the State of Origin decider - in Brisbane no less!
Then, some 200 years after stuffing the French at The Battle of Trafalgar, we stuffed them again in Singapore - London will host the 2012 Olympic Games.
And to top it all off, I did my first hill session this morning.
It was bloody cold again, so I took some time to walk then jog up to a warmed up state. I headed to a short but steep hill. I didn't time myself too closely, but I think I was running up in about 30 seconds (by which time I was starting to lose control of my legs) and then walked down in about 1 minute. I did 10 or 11 reps (lost count at 5/6), then jogged home to cool down.
It felt like replacing mountain bike tires with slicks - i.e. the hills were running with knobbly tires, the jog home was running with slicks!
Obviously (but unfortunately) the benefits will take some time to show, but it felt like a good work-out - one that I will repeat.
A couple of days of rest now before a long run on Sunday.
Still highest bidder on the GPS Unit - ends 4.30pm tomorrow! So fingers crossed!
