That was tough! Physically and mentally! Had to grit my teeth and convince those voices in my head telling me to stop to go away. Was convinced that I was going to have to stop just before the second rep. Just told myself 'one more rep.' Before I knew it, I was up to the fifth. Oh well, can't come this far and not finish. Head down for the last and killer rep - up hill, followed by the 200m 'float' - which in all honesty is a 600m rep. Finished - and that was the primary goal this morning! Time wasn't anything special at 15:31, but in all honesty, that's exactly where I though I would be having not done a full session in 19 days! It can only get better from here. I might even blame the westerly winds! 3:14's average pace - still an improvement from Saturday where I couldn't hold 3:20's for three minutes. Long cool-down for 17km all up. Just absolutely stoked to be back training again!!!
Doubled up with an easy recovery run around Randwick. Felt nice and relaxed, holding 4:39's.
