Ran in a new Adidas Clima Lite top bought from the Adidas shop ,in a sale, at the Queen St Mall .
Very smart looking and the clima Lite qualities were noticeable as the back of the shirt didn't start sticking to me until after 20mins and front seemed to remain sweat free!! Of course even $27 is way too much money for a shirt (and that is with a 40% discount) by my immediate reaction this arvo on the way home was to pop in to see if they have any more (No!) or some shorts (none my size).
I would have done a second session tonight but initially I thought I had to be home to look after the kids as Nat was going out . But later realised my mistake Nat is out on Wednesday. As I plan to race on Friday , doing too sessions on Wednesday is a bit risky for my aching creaking body so I've got off lightly this week and maybe the taper will pay dividends in performance.
Planning on Racing UQ All Comers Meet at St. Lucia on Fri evening 3000m again!
Graham Mathews was a talented runner I used to race against as a kid (when we were 11- 13 years old), he tragically was killed by a 'hit and run' driver when he was about 14/15. His dad presented a cup in his honour at our Club. It's presented each year to the most promising young athlete.
