Getting back into the it

Yep as the title suggests, I'm slowly but surely easing my way back onto the roads. Last Sunday, I forced myself out of bed to the inaugural Sydney Harbour 10k. Ended up running 34.12 which I was relatively happy with. Some of the boys and gals ran some very good times. Worthy mentioned were Barts, Clyde, Jono & Niamh. Niamh who struggled to keep with my expert pacing duties for sub 50 a month or so ago had a huge improvement running 47 mins.
The rest of the week was a little mixed as I'm been busy in work recently.
Mon: Easy 50 mins on a threadmill in Brizzy, always feel like i am working hard on a threadmill
Tues: Fartlek 90 secs (by 8) on 1 min float by 8 around the Brizzy river. Got back in time to host a fund raiser for Ben St Lawrence who will feature in the 10,000m in the Olympics
Wed: Bit of a mixed bag, ran 5k from the childcare centre in the morning, 40 mins at lunch and ran home (40 mins)
Thurs: I had to fly to Brizzy early and get back to Sydney for meeting at 3pm so no running. 
Fri: Fartlek 2 mins on (by 10) on 1 min float around Sydney's domain
Sat: 2 hours easy running, met up with Col Gibbons and then ran into Conway, TB, Enda, Rob C and ran some of the C2S. What a beautiful morning for running!

Off to Ireland next week and keen to run the Fingal 10k which will be run in my own home town. It's difficult to keep up the running when you are on holidays but I'm planning on a few races so hopefully that will keep me ticking over. Beermatt has suggested a few races for me...he's talking about running an 8k in Swinford. I'm in the area so why not. I've been trying to convince Tom to front up but I think he's running scared..
