SUNDAY COOLANGATA 16KM - 11 Weeks To Gold Coast


COOLANGATA


Decided to drive down the coast and have a run finishing with a dive in the sea.  Starting at Coolangata and turning round at Currumbin.

The weather was terrible, really wet but that didn't call the run off.  Really had a good run slightly too fast but never mind. Keeping my arms low seems to help to get a good rhythm

Met Craig Bellamy.

SATURDAY 12KM - 11 Weeks To Gold Coast


The weather is great for running at the moment.  Really enjoying the time out on the road.

Today was a steady paced run that I was trying to keep around the 9 Min Mile Point.  I was able to keep it on track but my GPS seems a bit erratic.  Anyway I have been keeping my arms lower and trying to get more steps per minute.  

The Cardio phase really worked out.  There has been a significant change in how I feel about running since the Twilight Half Marathon.  Lets see how it goes tomorrow...
