90 minutes with the raw prawn
7.00am, 90 minutes, Centennial Park
Slept-in, I think due to a full stomach. Last night I went to the Casino all-you-can-eat buffet for the first time in 18 months. As part of the new training regime and a shrunken stomach, I'd cut down from 8 plates of food to 5 plates of food including 2 plates of prawns and 2 desserts, highly disciplined stuff as I was rolled out of the premises.
Still more improvement in the running. While I did no speed work, I ran unrestricted to the extent that my other occasional bodily creaks and groans came out of hibernation and started piping up. I progressively picked up the speed approaching last week's half marathon pace. After an hour I felt the sudden urge to expel a raw prawn, which is very rare sensation while on a run. Fortunately for the one other runner in the distance and the ducks by the lake this sensation passed quickly.
I'm probably not in big hills condition for Quarry Road tomorrow. Though I'll sleep on it.

You feel like it once you've had a drink at the Forbes ;-)
A man after my own heart... nothing like a good buffet!! I call that a food hang over! Good training for Sunday :-)
Take it easy and look after those niggles.
Ahh. come on, Don Juan.
If I can attempt it on my gammy leg and voluminous gut I'm sure an athlete of your stature can do it.
See you there!
It's the oysters I go for ;-)
You will be fine on Quarry Road DJ - it is the best scenery, completely takes your mind off the aches and pains - well kind of :-)
