It took a bit of effort to sort myself out to get out there - I was frantically searching for my Imaginary Friend last night. Isn't it weird how we put things in the strangest places for safe keeping? Shoes, socks, long sleeved top, shorts, hat(!) - all arranged for easy access.
I set the alarm for 6:00 this morning and was out the door before I got a chance to argue! I set out to do 5km at an easy pace. Back to a familiar route: walked up the hill to warm up, bit of a stretch, had a brief chat with my Imaginary Friend to work out the plan and set off at 6:00/km pace.
No real dramas - in fact I was a little ahead of schedule. I think I finished at about 5:50/km pace, but I didn't have time to check the results after I finished. I'll have to get up a bit earlier in future if I want to be a bit more organised. It was 7:10 by the time I'd showered and changed, so I had to head out the door without breakfast (or cooling down). By the time I got to the station, grabbed some breakfast and got on the train - I was still sweating. Not pleasant for my fellow passengers!
So in future the plan will have to be to get up earlier and allow time to cool down while having breakfast and uploading my results from my Imaginary Friend to the computer.
On that subject. I thought about putting my current Imaginary friend on eBay and upgrading to the new model! I wonder if they're available in Australia yet?
Anyway, we're off. Only 15 weeks to go until City to Surf...Welcome back!

Well done on getting out as you'd planned today.
A few of your fellow bloggers have the new 305 but they ordered them from the US.
