390km - 7 - 10 - 16 = 357km

Tuesday - 7km. A Hill session with the pram at PCRG. OM! You have not lived until you attempt this one...I had to cut short the cool down due to dead legs and lack of energy.
Thursday - 10km Toughest Speed Session Ever. 3.5km warm up. 3min x 4 sprints (Pat stood there and yelled at us so there was no slacking off) A final 500m effort before the 3.5km trek back. I was rooted. It was so exhausting and did no talking on the way back. Tesso was great - she came along to the session just so she could walk Billy in the pram. They both went off and did their thing (she was teaching him how to say TESS and PAT...) and I went off on the speed session. We joined up at the finish and had a chat...and yes she did give Billy back to me :)
Saturday - 16.3km - 5:45min/km. A tough run around the Green Bridge loop in the 94% humidity. It was a hard day out there but I was sooo happy to be able to have company on the long run I didn't care. i enjoyed this one and the feeling of exhaustion afterwards was a pleasant one. i just still miss Tess :(

So do the rest of her readers. Where the bloody hell is she? ;)

Nice job with the running Clairie - you're half back.

One of these days you will be so buggered from a speed session you will forget to get him back off me :)

Great to see you getting into it again. The hard work will pay off in a good TT next week, just you wait!

33K with 3 runs in a week is the start of a good foundation. You are well on the way now.

Very impressive week Clairie. You are well on your way to a huge return to form.
