7 from 7 so far

This week is going well from a training perspective. Have hit 7 from 7 workouts in the plan so far. I am sure something will pop up to stop me hitting 11/11! Todays workout was a 2 hr run. I ran into Kings Park from home, after leaving at 6am and did a figure eight and then into the office. Kings Park is very much under-appreciated by the general public I reckon. It is such a nice place to run early in the morning. The weather was really good for a change - sunny, cool and virtually no wind. Did about 25km in 2:02hrs. Was fairly happy with that. Included a couple of 1mile Z4 efforts and the last 50min at a solid Z2 pace. The last 3 or 4 times I have run to work, I have seen an old couple who must walk the same route every day (or every Thu at least). They always say hello in a cheery voice. I try and say hello to most people I cross paths with when running - but so many have their iPods or some such on so it is a waste of time. I sound old! Not that I am against listening to music whilst running - I do it sometimes myself - but i do prefer to listen to my breathing and concentrate on what I am doing most of the time. Different strokes for different folks I guess (esp. Gen Y!!!)
