Splish splash I got sand up my a**

August 10 2004 5:30pm
Location 1km loop around the park behind the statue
Running group MAA led by Dorys advance group
Weather: humid (air was warm and heavy factor 8/10)
light breeze, intermittent and sporadic

What I ate prior, 2 yogurt and 1 banana 2 hours prior
How a I felt: legs slightly stiff from Sunday's long run but generally alright

Ran from the gym to the the beginning of the loop (long way) 15 min

Piece: Run for 5 min at 85% (10km pace) and rest for 2:30 return to the start position for each loop.

Each lap was completed prior to the 5 min elasping. By the 3rd loop we were caught in a heavy rain which lasted for 20 min. Shoes soaked up water like a sponge. Shorts were tight and clingy. T-shirt as well. Tracked dirt all over my calves, butt and lower half of the back of my t-shirt.

Good thing according to Dorys, under the Pose technique dirt is supposed to be thrown up that high. He was sporting dirt completed down his back.

Following the rain the veil of humidity was lifted and the run became simpler despite our clothes restricting us. I was able to complete my final lap in 4:42.

Felt great. Perhaps I might be able to run a sub 45 min 10km. Wishfull thinking? Hmm....

Did not have time to strectch. Sand all over the place.
Felt great. No pain following day.
