The road to the Gold Coast Marathon

Sportsfans,

Five seconds of lunacy resulted in me signing up for the Gold Coast Marathon.

Actually I kinda did a mate a favour by taking over his entry after he injured himself running the Great Ocean Road Marathon down in Victoria....

So there's now only 5 weeks to go and running-specific training has been going well.

Last night I did a 3km TT on the track at University of QLD. I've never done a 3k TT before, but have done a few 5K jobbies a while back, with a 5k PB of 17:11....

So my splits and time for 3k last night are.....

1:19
1:20
1:20
1:24
1:24
1:24
1:26
0:44 (200m)

10:26

It's been a while since i've done any track running, it hurts plenty !!
