Ran in the Bendigo Community Half Marathon today. My goal was to run the distance in under 2 hrs and I just managed it. I found this was one of the hardest half marathons I have competed in. There were 4 loops in town ( around Rosalind Park and Lake Weeroona). 3 others from Step into Life were running, with another 2 encouraging us on and taking photos. We all walked back to the lake afterwards and had breakfast ( 2nd breaky) at the Boardwalk. The couch suction is pretty strong! My feet were quite sore during the run.

Saturday morning stretching session down near the lake. By the time we finished it was getting pretty hot and steamy.

Attempted to run the 5km route along the creek; it was hot and as it was a hot afternoon, it was difficult. Big effort, and I couldn't finish the full 5km. Had to walk the last 500m. Im not feeling very confident about the half marathon on Sunday; I guess I'll not be able to meet my goal.

C • Meet your goal 4

Neil and I jogged once around the loop which forms 1/4 of the half marathon route for next Sunday. I had a side stitch all the way around and did not enjoy this run. Neil was running well and it was his 2nd run for the day.

Tone up session with free weights.

Cardio session. We warmed up with boxing and kicking, then ran 100m intervals with 100m recoveries. Wasn't able to sprint too much, as I needed a recovery session.
