Tuesday Aug 23, 2011 #
7 AM
Run 1:01:00 [3] 12.3 km (4:58 / km)
Morning session from near work up around Moonee Valley. Not as bad as yesterday morning (at least after the first few minutes) but still a bit of a struggle; if the purpose of Sunday was to build up confidence in handling long distances it may not have worked especially well.
I found myself on the Western Bulldogs e-mail list after buying a present for my brother-in-law from their online shop once (and haven't asked to be taken off because the team lists are useful). I'd previously pondered the question of whether my Essendon 2000 Premiers T-shirt has reached the point of ceasing to be something of pride and starting to be an embarrassing reminder of how long it is since we last won one, so where does that leave the 1954 Premiers T-shirt that the Bulldogs are currently offering? (At least neither item is as ugly as the pre-season jumper from about 15 years ago that Hawthorn are currently selling as a 'heritage' item).

1 PM
Run intervals 17:00 [4] 3.8 km (4:28 / km)
250 on/250 off at the Tan (now more or less devoid of building works). Again nothing to get excited about although the hamstring tightness which was there early disappeared pretty quickly.
Run 32:00 [3] 6.5 km (4:55 / km)
Going to/from the Tan. Had some company for the trip back in the form of Nicholas Bignell, a Corporate Cup regular whom I've been dicing with for the best part of two decades. We had some additional company for a couple of hundred metres in the form of the group of schoolgirls on excursion who decided to try to keep up with us until they got bored.
Starting to flow more or less OK by the trip home.
Acronym of the day: Understanding Severe Thunderstorms and Alberta Boundary Layer Experiment (UNSTABLE). The group responsible for this have some form as they have previously being involved with the Effect of Lake Breezes On Weather study and the Convective and Orographic Precipitation Study. (A European group once came up with a project proposal which abbreviated to FUNDME, but sadly it failed to get funding).
