Getting back to 'Normal'
shouldve thanked CR exe 'junior' (aka spot) for 2 of the photos from the last post.
these ones i also 'borrowed' from CR (john) and were too good to leave out...
first is my fav: view from near the hut on mt hotham run looking back over razor-back track.
2nd is from similar place looking along the road - unfortunately cant see all the snow/ice on the cars!!
3rd is earlier on along the razorback.
someone on CR today reckoned the winds there were 110km/hr ...sheesh - i think i'll stick with 90km/hr thats still narly and more believable!!
2p the watch was great!! except it doesnt measure temp well when on the wrist but i knew that before buying it.
the physio asked me the other day what a 'normal' week for me would be.
i guess in an un-injured state i would like to run a race (usually an ultra) once a month with an easy week either side of the event.
this of course leaves only 2 weeks of 'training' in between which i would do maybe 60-70km/week (but thats a pretty 'narly' 70km!) and some exercise bike.
have struggled a bit lately to achieve this and stunned myself today by realising kepler is only 3 weeks away so i better get into some 'normal' running.
managed a negative split at sub 5's today for my flat 14km run for the first time in a while.
a bit of hammie tightness but nothing like the other week.
bought the boots and packs for our overland track walk this weekend.
yes more gear!!
the packs are NZ made: http://aarnpacks.com/products/index.html
i have the peak aspiration and TOH the natural exhilaration (dont u like the names?!?..... just waiting for one of tims comments!)
funnily enough i didnt like the lightweight ones as much.
they have a unique shoulder harness system which basically can move slightly from side to side so the pack 'swings' less.
my boots are la sportiva: which are basically gore-tex trail running shoes with loose ankle support - that'll fool 'em!
went on a 1.5hr coot-tha walk today to test the gear and eveything seems good.
christened the boots in simpsons falls and they came out looking crisp.
monday/tuesday - last half of bright
wednesday/thursday/friday - nothing except massage
saturday - 7km walk/run with dog and 30min stat bike (easy)
sunday - 1.5hr walk and 14km flat run (69.00)
'that political thing' which i am definately not paying any attention to in 2 weeks.
kepler in 3 weeks.
congrats to mellum at gnw - 3/3!!
'gear man'
over and out.

Having an addiction to gear is nothing to be ashamed off Bro. Me, I'm doing ok. It's been several weeks since my last purchase. Wonder if I can stay away from Paddy Pallin & Mountain Designs for another week.... ;-)
Spectacular pics Bro. That first one should be framed.
Just as well you are the Gearman dude!
