Week 18th - 24th August Update

Another week and I am feeling better as the legs are turning over well. Total of 104.6km of running and 30km of walking. I have been walking for recovery totalling a minimum of 30km each week for the past 3 weeks. It is certainly helping with flushing the legs out with the increase in weekly kilometres.

What a week for triathlon as Australia finally broke the Hoodoo and claimed an Olympic Gold Medal. Emma Snowsill in first with a gutsy run putting it all on the line to claim Gold, and Emma Moffet claiming the Bronze with a more controlled early pace to run through. The boys had a different day but Courtney Atkinson ran awesome and just missed out on a top ten. Geez, those guys can run fast! Terrific scenery on the course and great to see a lot of coverage on the TV for triathlon. Hopefully TA can now parley that into some summer coverage for our sport and keep the ball rolling.

It will be a busy week at 3 Sports with the Winter Sales starting. 30% off rrp for most items, more for some older stock. Great opportunity to come in and get some new runners/gear for the summer season or stock pile some great cycle gear. I'll be grabbing some Assos at those discounted prices ;) .

Sam and I have our first ante-natal class this Thursday evening, so it should be interesting. We are away this weekend with Julian and Mel in Kangaroo Valley. I am looking forward to some mountain runs and finding a few beaten tracks to plod along. Last time we had a great dinner at the local cafe with a chicken and duck pie that I can hear calling my name again. Hopefully the weather behaves for us.

Train safe, Bevan.
